Healing Adult Acne: Your Guide to Clear Skin and Self-Confidence

by Richard G. Fried and Fred Friedberg

Book Overview

All of us probably remember being told, "Don't worry, you'll grow out of it," when we had bouts of acne as teenagers. The truth is, though, that not everybody grows out of acne. In fact, acne can even begin in adulthood and, among women, even after menopause as estrogen levels decline.

A must for any ADULT with this problem

I never had acne as a teen.Lucky me,I got it when I was almost thirty! Desperately I tried everything over the counter.Nothing seemed to help... Those late night infomercials for Proactiv and Murad only taunted me promising clear perfect skin because they didnt work for me either. I started feeling like a failure.My face was horrible,and painful,and I didnt leave my house for several months.My relationship suffered with my husband.I cried alot... Browsing the bookstore one day I found this book.It gave me the courage to stop crying about my acne and do something about it.I finally made an appointment with a dermatologist. After three months,and three recommended treatments,my face was clear again! I felt like a new woman! This book is very informative with suggestions varying from natural to medical treatments. He tells you how and why acne is formed,and even the different kinds of acne. I had no idea there were so many reasons for it! Any adult with acne should seriously read this book.It may really help you.
