Why You Have Acne

3-minute read

Do you feel stuck in a never-ending roller coaster with your acne? This was me, for 15 years. I tried product after product, treatment after treatment, only to find that nothing worked. I want you to know it’s not because you’re doing anything wrong. It’s because most acne “solutions” fail to treat acne correctly.

 

The Real Reason You Have Acne

Acne isn’t caused by bacteria, oily skin or too much of the wrong foods. In fact, all of those things will only trigger breakouts if you have a genetic condition called retention hyperkeratosis. This happens when your skin cells don’t shed properly and instead, clump up inside your pores, forming comedones, the start of all pimples. 

This buildup starts weeks before any visible acne appears on your skin, making it difficult for you to trace where your breakouts are coming from.

 

Why Common Treatments Don't Work

  • Over-the-Counter Products: These often use ingredients like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid in low concentrations that are too weak to make a difference. Even if you do see a temporary improvement, acne quickly adapts to the products and starts forming again, leading to continued breakouts.

  • Antibiotics and Prescription Medications: While antibiotics can kill bacteria in your current breakouts, they don’t address the real issue of the dead skin-cell buildup in your pores, and don't prevent new breakouts. This is why they often provide only short-term relief. Even with medications like Accutane, most people find their acne returns within 6-12 months.


A Better Approach

To get the best results with your skin, its crucial to control your skin’s shedding process. By addressing retention hyperkeratosis first, you can prevent the buildup of dead skin cells and stop acne before it starts.

 

Here’s how my Clear Academy Acne Program can help:

  • Skin-Shedding Control: Our program targets acne's root cause by using products to manage how your skin sheds, effectively reducing acne before it starts.

  • Lifestyle Factors: When you have retention hyperkeratosis, your skin is prone to certain dietary and and lifestyle triggers that can cause flare ups. Our program identifies and eliminates yours for best and fastest results.

  • Long-Term Solution: Instead of a quick fix (which doesn't exist), we focus on prevention and sustainable results. This approach ensures that acne doesn’t just go away temporarily but is prevented for long-term results.

Real Results, Fast

Take a look at my client's journey with our program. After 15 years of struggling with acne, she saw more significant improvement in just 3 months with our program than she ever had before.

Don't let acne control your life any longer. Start our program today and experience the transformation.
