Acne community PSA: this community is NOT about which treatment you’re using for your skin, it’s about supporting each other unconditionally throughout the process. We already get enough judgement from other people when it comes to our skin (dirty, eats poorly, whatever other bs). So let’s make sure that we’re not passing judgement onto one another for whatever acne treatment we’re using. Fact is, you probably don’t know that person. You don’t know exactly everything they’ve tried. You don’t know how long they’ve been suffering with acne. You don’t know their mental state or what they’re feeling on the inside that led them to their decision. Instead of passing judgement, realize that everyone’s individual skin journey is unique. And only in time, through trial and error, will they figure out what’s right for them. No one thing is going to work the same for every body. Better yet, no one treatment is better or more desirable than the other. Whether you’re holistic, all natural, using accutane, birth control, prescription topicals, otc products, antibiotics, diet, etc. - we all have the same end goal. It’s not our job or our right to pass judgement onto someone else for their choices. So let’s be as supportive as we can to each other in the process and work on showing eachother kindness 🙏 (Plus keep in mind that person is ALREADY using/doing these things for their skin so you telling them “they’re wrong” isn’t going to change anything and will only make that person feel ashamed or guilty about their decisions.)
