Any normal teenager (and in some cases adults) all over the
world are likely to suffer from
a common ailment. Irrespective
of their backgrounds, irrespective
of their social standing and even
irrespective of their race or
nationality, they all have one
common enemy. And this enemy goes
by the much dreaded name of acne.
While acne is a normal and natural
part of growing up, most youngsters
detest the very sight and feel
of acne. Especially at an age
when external appearance takes
precedence over anything else,
they feel confused, horrified
and in some serious cases, even
disturbed by the acne.
Fortunately, the ever greedy pharmaceutical
companies have not been laggardly
in spotting this malady as an
exceptional source of profit.
Which explains the numbers and
range of the acne creams that
flood every supermarket and pharmacy
shelf. This is no exaggeration.
Get in to the nearest pharmacy
and see for yourself. I would
not be surprised if you found
an entire section dedicated to
acne creams. In fact, more than
any other course of treatment,
acne creams are viewed and accepted
as the most popular acne treatment.
And the most common over the counter
acne treatments continue to be
acne creams. But have you ever
wondered why acne creams continue
to be so popular? Well I have.
And in a bid to find an answer,
turned to human psychology. According
to most people (and you can test
this for yourself!) the most commonly
attributed cause for acne is poor
hygiene. Although this is not
true, most people continue to
wash their faces day in and day
out, oblivious to the damage they
are causing themselves. And what
aids washing faces best? Acne
creams of course. Not only do
these creams seem to be doing
a good job or removing the acne,
they also, psychologically, indicate
to the user that they are helping
keep the skin hygienic. So, more
and more teenagers and even a
few older people continue to buy
and stock up on acne creams in
the mistaken belief that these
acne creams are helping them.
In most cases, acne creams don’t
do any harm, even though they
may not actually be helpful in
getting rid of the acne. But care
must be taken to ensure that any
acne cream used should be free
of oil and sunscreens. All acne
creams should also be free of
comedogenic elements in order
to be helpful. And finally, all
purported acne creams should at
least be manufactured by a credible
and dependable manufacturer in
order to ensure that even if they
provide no benefit, they should
at least bring on no further harm!
