Is Your Dermatologist Causing Your Acne?
Dermatologists are the go-to experts for acne. Or so you're told.
But what if they're actually part of the problem?
Here's the truth most people never hear:
Many dermatologists overlook the real causes of acne.
Their treatments can often make your skin worse.
They often tell you they don't really know what causes acne.
And the reason? They're missing critical pieces of the acne puzzle.
Why Dermatologists Miss the Mark
Medical school trains dermatologists to diagnose skin conditions — but barely touches on the role diet, lifestyle, and product ingredients play in acne.
In fact, most dermatologists still believe an outdated, 50-year-old study claiming food doesn't affect acne.
That's just not true.
Dairy, for example, is a major acne trigger. It spikes oil production, leading to clogged pores and breakouts. So does iodine, which can cause severe inflamed breakouts. Yet many dermatologists dismiss this — not because they don't care, but because they've been taught it's irrelevant.
Then There's the Prescription Trap…
When you walk into a dermatologist's office, you're often handed antibiotics.
They can kill bacteria — but they won't fix clogged pores or address what's actually causing your breakouts. Antibiotics do nothing to prevent acne.
Worse? Long-term antibiotic use leads to gut issues, resistant bacteria, and skin that flares up even worse once you stop.
This client used antibiotics 4 times for her skin, but her acne always came back. Once she switched to the right products, her skin finally cleared up and has remained clear for years.
In Europe, dermatologists have moved away from this outdated practice. The U.S.? Not so much.
And What About Topical Creams?
Retin-A was once a gold-standard acne treatment. It helped with dead skin buildup — until pharmaceutical companies altered the formula.
They added Isopropyl Myristate — a major pore-clogging ingredient — to make it “less irritating” The result? It now causes acne. I've seen Retin-A and other prescription retinoid creams cause acne in countless clients.
Yet most dermatologists still prescribe it, unaware they're handing you a cream that's making your skin worse.
Accutane — The Nuclear Option
Accutane dries out your oil glands, which sounds promising — until you learn the risks: depression, liver damage, and infertility issues, and many other serious side effects. In fact, Accutane's list of side effects is so serious that it has an FDA “black box” warning - one of the most serious risk warnings for drugs.
Even worse, around 80% of Accutane users see their acne return in 6-12 months, because their triggers were never addressed, and their oil glands eventually produce oil again.
So, what’s really going on?
Acne is triggered by more than bacteria and oil - in fact those are secondary causes of acne. The main cause is dead skin cell build-up inside your pores - retention hyperkeratosis, or what I call your pore activity rate.
When your pores are sluggish or over-active, only then can acne even form in the first place - it's the difference between someone who has acne and someone who doesn't.
If your pore activity rate is not functioning properly, then your skin can be influenced by hormones, lifestyle, and surprising everyday triggers — things like your shampoo, diet, or even your “dermatologist-approved” skin cream.
Most dermatologists never ask about these things. Instead, they stick to prescriptions that often miss the real issues - and cause many people to have acne for years.
You deserve better. It's frustrating when the solution to acne is so simple, and most cases — including severe acne — can be completely cleared up in 12 weeks.
This client spent 4 years working with a dermatologist—with no success. But in just 11 weeks, her skin cleared up after switching to the right topical products.
This isn't about blaming doctors — most genuinely want to help. But medical training skips key information. Drug companies push treatments that keep patients dependent. And you're left unnecessarily struggling with acne for months or years, like I did.
95% of People Who Use This Get Clear in 12 Weeks
You don't need another round of antibiotics. You don't need to “wait it out.” You need a method that actually works.
The Acne Coach Method has a 95% success rate. That means 95 out of 100 people who use this approach clear their skin within 12 weeks—even if nothing else has worked before.
The remaining 5%? They take longer because sometimes an acne trigger is hard to find.
This method isn't guesswork. It's 19 years of trial, error and a proven acne approach—with real people and real success.
You don't have to live with acne. You don't have to keep “trying everything,” waiting for years, and getting no results.
Acne is 100% treatable—when you know what's actually causing it.
