Acne solutions occupy
minds of our teenagers. With acne being
most common skin complaint in
world, and teenagers being
most body conscious people in our society, acne solutions are keenly sought by our young.However
search for “acne solutions” or “acne cures” rests on
assumption that acne can be cured, much
same as it is assumed that many other medical problems of
modern age can be cured. The reality however, is different. Real acne solutions are just that, solutions, not cures.
It is a symptom of our fast fix society that if we have a problem we want an immediate fix. If we can’t fix it ourselves we assume that technology will come to
rescue and provide a simple, painless low cost fix in a bottle.
Acne, unfortunately, isn’t so easy.
Acne affects, according to some, up to 95% if teenagers at some time in their teen or early adult years. It can be serious and debilitating, mild and easy to control, or usually somewhere in between. The market for acne cures is huge, billions of dollars.
And of course there are a myriad of acne remedies out there all claiming to be
one and only. The magic bullet of acne cures. The one stop fix for every teenagers troubling acne.
Millions are spent in advertising these so called acne cures or acne remedies. Wild claims are made about their effectiveness. Guarantees are offered that they will work.
However
reality of acne is that scientists still do not fully understand what causes it. The causes of acne are thought to be hormonal, or more specifically a hormonal imbalance, but
mechanism isn’t fully proven.
So despite
fact that
market for acne remedies is huge, it is still true that acne cannot be cured. Acne is a condition caused by some mix of as yet unknown factors at work in
body, and will only stop when
body decides it’s time for it to stop. Until then it will, or can, continue and this process is independent of attempts to cure it.
