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.
For most acne sufferers there’s a better and much cheaper choice that does not require a prescription: B5 Vitamins. I am so big on B5 Vitamins because they worked for me. I suffered from acne from age 18 to age 25. I tried every topical medication in the world. They did nothing. I always seemed to have atleast one pimple. I did not have a really bad case, I don’t recall ever having more than 3 or 4 pimples at one time so I would not qualify for Accutane. But as I’m sure any acne sufferer already knows, it only takes one to make you feel bad about yourself.
It was when I turned 25 that I was getting really desperate and I thought I have to try something different besides creams and pads because they just weren’t working (took me 7 years to finally give up on them!) and that’s when I discovered B5 Vitamins for acne treatment. At first I was very skeptical because I had not heard about it before (I know now why that it is.) but I decided to give it a try because it was pretty cheap.
It worked. Within weeks my acne had dissapeared and now 4 years later it’s never returned. Not only that but Vitamin B5 has many great positive side effects including more energy and improved clarity of mind.
So why hadn’t I heard of Vitamin B5 for fighting acne before (and maybe why you haven’t heard of it before now?) well the answer is simple. It’s cheap. It’s just a vitamin. What money can be made on a vitamin? Not that much. The companies that make acne fighting Vitamin B5 capsules (such as Vilantae) can’t afford to pay a celebrity like Jessica Simpson to talk about their products. Without advertising it’s hard for the average person to hear about your product.
But the word about Vitamin B5 supplements is starting to get around and I definitly want to do my part in that. I think it’s a shame that people continue to waste their money on topical treatments that do not work when there’s a real alternative that really does work in Vitamin B5.
Big acne companies like ProActiv does not want the word to get out about Vitamin B5. Understandably so. I’ve even noticed some strange misinformation on the internet about Vitamin B5 and it would not surprise me one bit if the big acne companies were behind that.
Vitamin B5 is safe. Vitamin B5 works. If you’ve never tried it before and you suffer from acne you really need to try it. Jessica Simpson isn’t telling you but I am, and unlike Jessica Simpson I actually used this product to cure my acne.
