Editorial Review: 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.

In addition to physical symptoms, acne sufferers often present psychological symptoms related to the condition like depression, stress, and low self-esteem. These psychological aspects of acne are often downplayed, and the condition is considered "merely cosmetic" and not a true disease. In the worst cases, acne sufferers have been blamed for their acne much like obese people are blamed for their weight, with the disorder being indicative of a lack of self-control, bad hygiene, or an unhealthy diet. But recent research suggests that diet is not a main cause of acne, and that acne is usually caused by the skin's sebaceous glands being pathologically sensitive to certain hormones.

A must for any ADULT with this problem, 2007-11-18
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.

This book is good for mild to moderate acne, 2006-02-02
I have pretty bad acne so using the home remedies and over the counter products listed in this book didn't help much. So, I went to see Dr. Fried himself and I am now using perscription medication. I haven't been on the medication long so I can't tell you if the medications have worked yet, but maybe at a later date I could let you know. The book is helpful to track the reasons why we get acne and what the causes are. And it gives you understanding that you are not the only one. I feel this book is more for people who are not constantly worring about their skin. It is more for "light" acne. If you are depressed about your face then my advice would be to go see the dermatologist and get it over with. I believe that this a great book for understanding your acne but not a good book for curing it.
