Your Own Worst [Dermatological] Enemy

Recent research suggests that the problem with many current acne treatments resides less in the medicine and more in the application. Studies estimate that only 50% of patients actually adhere to their doctors' instructions.

Imagine this: You go to your dermatologist. He writes you a prescription and tells you to apply the product twice a day. You do this for...three days? Four? Until spring break vacation? Until you leave for camp?



This is a classic story-line. Unfortunately, the ending is not a happy one. Unsurprisingly, poor adherence to anti-acne regimens causes many teens to think that their products don't work. What happens next? Usually those expensive medications are shoved to the deepest recesses of the medicine cabinet–along with expired gummy vitamins and crusty bottles of Pepto Bismol.

Luckily, GR8SKN products are easy to use and can be tailored to fit any teenage lifestyle.
