Let’s Ditch the BS: Real Talk About Acne

We hear it all the time:
"Just scrub harder."
"Use toothpaste!"
"Tanning clears breakouts."
😬 Nope, nope, and big nope.

Acne advice has been passed down like family folklore—but not all of it holds up. It’s time to ditch the bad info and stick to what actually works. Here’s what we want every client (and teen!) to know:

❌ The B.S.

• Oily skin doesn’t need moisturizer

• Scrubbing harder = better skin

• You get acne because you’re dirty

• Spot treating is enough

• Tanning helps clear skin

• Nothing really works

✔️ The Truth:

• Gentle, consistent routines win every time

• Acne-safe oils and moisturizers are essential

• Acne starts in the pore, not on the surface

• Treat the whole face—not just the pimple

• UV exposure makes breakouts (and scarring!) worse

• Clinical skincare does work—with the right ingredients and support

Our go-to acne-fighting heroes:

• Benzoyl Peroxide (kills acne bacteria)

• Salicylic Acid (clears congestion)

• AHAs + Mandelic Acid (exfoliate + calm)

• Vitamin A Propionate (renews skin + prevents breakouts)

These ingredients are the backbone of what we use in-clinic. They’re backed by science, and most importantly—they deliver results.

Bottom Line:​
Acne isn’t about being dirty. It’s not a teenage phase. And no—you don’t need to suffer through it. Let us help you clear things up (literally).
