Do You Know What Type of Acne You Have so that You Can Treat it the Right Way?

It's time for a reality check: You might think you know what kind of acne you have, but you might be wrong.  Let's see if you'll be able to tell.... 

QUIZ TIME!

You've had acne for multiple years and you really only get breakouts a couple times a year.  Should you treat it as mild or moderate acne?  

The right answer?  Moderate!  

How did we make that determination?  Here's a general formula to use:  

 - If you've had acne chronically between 1-3+ years, you should approach your acne as being moderate even if you get 1- 3 breakouts/year.  

Determining what kind of acne you have is difficult for many reasons. There's a lot of false information out there, and some of it might even be coming from those close to you--even from yourself.

Why is it important to know exactly what kind of acne you have? So that you can treat it the right way, of course! If you're trying to treat severe acne with a mild acne treatment, you'll be sorely disappointed. And you don't want to waste your money by treating your mild acne with a severe acne treatment.

So put your thinking cap on, take a look in the mirror, and use this guide to help you determine what type of acne you have:


Mild acne: You have a small number of small pimples that usually appear periodically on the face and forehead. For you we recommend taking AcnEase Mild Acne Treatment for a minimum of one month.

Moderate acne: You have numerous and/or frequent inflamed pimples that cover larger areas of the face and forehead, and are generally more persistent. For you we recommend taking AcnEase Moderate Acne Treatment for a minimum of one month.

Severe acne: You have larger pimples and some cysts, many inflamed, covering larger areas of the face, and it is persistent and chronic. For you we recommend taking AcnEase Severe Acne Treatment for a minimum of two months. You may need to take it for three months to get your desired results.

Body acne: You have pimples and/or cysts on the back and/or neck, shoulders and buttocks. For you we recommend AcnEase Body Acne for Athletes Treatment for a minimum of 6 weeks, but realize that you may need to take it longer.

Body and face acne: You have pimples on the face, chest and/or back, neck, shoulders, buttocks. For you we recommend AcnEase Body Acne Treatment for a minimum of 6 weeks.

Chronic Acne: The longer you suffer from acne, the longer the treatment needed to clear your skin for good. Miracle overnight "cures" do not exist.  So be patient, and your skin will become healthy and clear again.

  

Chronic mild acne: You have suffered for 2 or more years with mild acne. For you we recommend AcnEase Moderate Acne Treatment for a minimum of two (2) months. You may need to take it for three months to get your desired results.  

Chronic moderate & severe acne: You have suffered with acne for 2 or more years. For you we recommend AcnEase Severe Acne Treatment for a minimum of three (3) months. You may need to take it for three months to get your desired results.

Athletes body or body & face acne: You are an athlete who suffers from pimples and/or cysts on the face, chest and/or back, neck, shoulders and buttocks. For those who exercise more than 6 times a week and/or those who weigh 175 lbs or more and have moderate or severe body or body and face acne, we recommend AcnEase Body Acne for Athletes Treatment for a minimum of 6 weeks, but realize that you may need to take it longer especially if you have chronic and/or severe acne.  

Your AcnEase® treatment will also depend on whether you are male or female because male acne tends to be more persistent and therefore more difficult to treat since testosterone is a strong stimulator of the sebaceous glands and is responsible for their overproduction of skin oil.

But you don't have to figure this out all on your own--try our simple 3-step system to help you figure out exactly which treatment you need.

And as always, don't hesitate to contact us with any questions!
