Unfortunately for us, these products clear up the symptoms, not the underlying problem. The most important point about diet. A bad diet, a sedentary lifestyle, and even genetics all contribute to acne and other irritating skin conditions.

There are some fast food places that can be considered somewhat healthy, but when I eat fast food I just don't feel like doing it without going all the way. In other words, someone who pounds beers four nights a week, eats fast food with the intensity of Kobayashi, and hasn't owned a pair of running shoes since middle school shouldn't depend on Proactiv to clear his skin because it "worked for Jessica Simpson." When combined with an improved diet, there are a variety of inexpensive supplements that will clear your acne for good.

Like everyone else, I get lazy or I'll be in a rush and scarf down some Mc or KFC. Good skin CAN be achieved through the use of acne creams, and I've even had moderate success with Clearasil.

All I can say is that my skin has seen a vast improvement since I started using this routine and eating more healthy.
