Review of www.acnecontrol.net found lots of words, but not a lot of truth to calibrate?
"My name is John Mok, and I am the owner of the AcneControl Site. The reasons for doing this site are to share my experience of acne suffering, and since I've finally gained control of my acne condition, share this knowledge and hopefully help those fellow acne sufferers to reduce or eliminate their aggravation.

"I suffered from acne since I was 12 years old. Unlike people whose acne gradually disappear after their teen years, mine continued on for a couple of decades more. I know exactly how it feels as a teenager who agonizes over a big zit on the chin before a date. I also know how a grown-up can lose confidence after a serious breakout and react by canceling important meetings. For the long-term sufferers, I have stumbled along with you the battered psychological journey between high hopes of yet another new doctor and the dashed expectations of the same old result.
I began my study of acne
when I was a graduate student at the University of Washington. At one time, I
went to see a dermatologist in downtown Seattle. This doctor's office walls were
decorated all over with pictures of himself and celebrities. I did the sun lamp
for the first time there. When that didn't work, the doctor treated me with
liquid nitrogen freezing. The next day, my face was covered with burnt spots all
over. I couldn't believe my eyes. My complaint to the doctor was greeted with
only a shrug. I vowed then to find out what I could about acne and if I could do
something about it.
What I have found out is that acne cannot actually be cured. The goal of
treating acne is to control it by reducing the symptoms and to prevent permanent
scarring of the skin. Anyone who tells you differently is not telling you the
truth.
Effective acne treatment
slows the cellular turnover rate and the accumulation of dead skin cells in the
pores; slows the production of sebum; and kills or inhibits P. acnes
and other microorganisms in the pores. These actions together check the
inflammatory activity of the enzymes they produce.
For most people, their acnes are not cured by their doctors but by themselves.
Acne has the tendency to slowly improve over time and usually go away on its own
after the teenage years. Some people who don't have acne earlier can start
getting them in their 30s. A few can have acne all through their lives. After
some twenty years of trial and error, luckily, I've finally found a way to
control my acne.
This approach combines Chinese herbal treatment with Western medicines and vitamin consumption. I was treated four years ago by a Beijing dermatologist who, for the first time, was able to clear up my face after a month of treatment. Today, I can still remember vividly the moment of elation and thankfulness I felt towards the physician. "
Testimonial, some links that are useful. I only found some selling links.

According to a research done by the American Academy of Dermatology, there
are more than 20 million teenagers suffering from acne in the United States
alone, and 10% say it is the worst thing about being a teenager. The AAD
even has two pictures graphically depicting this depressing agony
(see
http://www.aad.org/P_Frameset.html.)
The picture that shows the "Percentages of teens who would rather
not date someone with acne" reflects a grim reality: The pimpled teenagers may have suspected this, but now they have the statistics to back up their suspicions. No wonder it's been a bit tough lately to get a date. Whether you know it or not, acne has a profound impact upon the mental state of those who are affected by it. Teens may get more attention, but adults suffer as well. Having difficulty getting a date is of course a devastating matter. But it's more than this. Much more. Those of us who are affected by acne for any given period of time would have experienced the agony and mental torture of a simple date: You look, check, examine every little spot of your face in front of the mirror. You make the best use of your hair, clips, ear-rings, collar, scarf, even eye glasses to hide some spots. You figure you'd turn your head slightly to the left when you talk and your date would not notice the big pimple on the other cheek. Your hand keep resting on your cheek unintentionally while you talk, so much so you start to notice that your date picks up on your peculiar movement. You hope she won't notice your pimples but you know she will. The last insult comes when your date looks you right in the face as if the pimples are not there. They are there! They are there! How you wish you were just like your normal friends! You would exchange five years of your life just for a fine, clean face. Other than the experience of hellish dates, we sometimes are so depressed and void of all our confidence we simply do not show up, not only for dates, but also for social gatherings, classes, job interviews, work...Acne really has our nose held! It dominates and wrecks our lives. I've had important meetings postponed because I couldn't bear to bring my pimpled face in front of my clients. I believe this mental agitation and self-consciousness is beyond the understanding of a normal person. Yes, acne can have a profound effect upon the self-image and confidence of the sufferer, so much so it could lead to behavioral problems, academic decline, social isolation, substance abuse, depression, even suicide. Teenagers are more vulnerable in this respect because both acne and depressive disorder have a peak incidence during adolescence. (see Dr. M.A. Gupta, ) I think most parents, teachers, peers, and doctors have little understanding of the mental delicacy and self-consciousness of acne sufferers. A better understanding is always helpful and beneficial to all parties. On the other hand, the reality is also always less unbearable than what acne sufferers project it to be. People are never nearly as interested in our face as we are ourselves, or as we think they do. Realizing this may help reduce our agitation a bit. Of course, the final savior comes when our face is all cleared up. This will happen naturally to most acne sufferers, sooner or later. However, if you want it to be sooner, I am here to help. Have a look at the sections Conventional Western Treatments and Chinese Herbal Medicine. Then pay a visit to your doctor. Sometimes, your doctor may be able to help, particularly if you have more understanding of the subject. If you have tried them all and found that nothing works for you still, then check out An Alternative Approach that Works for Me & Thousands Others. I've found my savior there. Hope you do, too |
I am a lecturer of English in Hong Kong. I do this site for two reasons: One, I hope to contribute an alternative approach to help fellow acne sufferers. The information shared in this site should honestly help you control your acne, make a big change in the way you look and the way you feel about yourself. Two, I want to find out first hand how effective a medium of communication the internet is. This is my first website. If this spreads well, I will do more.
