I saw an esthetician on here talk about acne being a genetic condition that needs to be maintained with topicals -

I’m convinced “the experts” are paid to lie to us.

I cured my acne. And i didn’t do it with topical creams.

The only genetic aspect to acne is skin type and chronic inflammation and/or hormones/endocrine imbalances that run in the family.

This is what creates the perfect environment for acne to thrive. For me, an additional component was the fact that i ruined my skin barrier with acne products thinking it was helping, while all it did was exacerbate my condition.
