The Jessica Simpson Acne Lie

Do You Really Think Jessica Simpson Used ProActiv to Cure Her Acne?

Jessica Simpson is paid millions of dollars for her endorsement of ProActiv products. Before she signed her endorsement deal with ProActiv she stated publicly that she cured her acne through prescription Accutane an extremely powerful internal medication that stops the production of excess oil which causes acne.

This is a very important point. Accutane works internally. Topical products are not effective in fighting acne because you have to stop acne at it's source. Having acne does not mean your skin is dirty. One person can clean their face 100 times a day and still have a horrible case of acne and another person can take just one shower a month and have no acne.

Unfortunatly millions of people continue to waste a lot of money on ineffective "acne treatments" that do nothing but irritate the skin. Topical treatments do not work. I think most people that have suffered from acne for years already know this at some level but don't want to admit it because they think it's their only chance. That's what the topical acne treatment industry counts on. Desperation. I know that I suffered from acne for years and continued to buy the creams and the pads and all of the rest of that garbage even though I never saw any real results from it. If anything they seemed to make things worse by irritating my skin.

The fact is there are alternatives to useless topical "acne medications" and I don't mean just prescription Accutane.

Accutane while extremely effective does require a prescription and it has many side effects. It is also is usually only prescribed in very bad cases of acne so if you have a light case (one or two pimples/zits at a time) you will probably not be able to get accutane. Because of these reasons I do not recommend acne unless you have an extremely bad case.
