For years, people have believed that acne was caused by eating fried foods or chocolate, or that it was the result of not thoroughly cleansing the face of dirt, grime and makeup. This is how acne develops on the skin:
- Acne begins with dihydrotestosterone (DHT) and the effect that it has on the oil glands
- The enzyme 5 alpha reductase converts testosterone to DHT
- DHT binds to androgen receptors in the oil glands
- DHT stimulation leads to too much oil on the skin
- Excess oil blocks the pores and allows bacteria to grow, causing inflammation, infection and visible acne
When you look at how acne develops on the skin, it is easy to see why it is important to use a product like Clearogen, if you want to be rid of acne for good. Clearogen contains products to clear your face, and, after 45 to 60 days when your face is clear, you can continue to use Clearogen less frequently to keep acne from developing again.
