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.
