Even by middle age, a full 12 percent of women and 3 percent of men experience clinically significant acne. Thirty-percent of its victims also meet the diagnostic criteria for depression, anxiety, and suicide risk. And, the effects can be lifelong for the third of all acne sufferers who experience permanent facial scarring.

For those with acne, their biggest challenge is that most acne treatments, though powerful therapies, are irritating, and add fuel to the inflammatory fire already burning inside their acne-affected skin. The seemingly insurmountable challenge for skincare formulators has been to develop an effective acne treatment that works across a broad range of skin types.

The AcneRecovery system is based on the scientific premise that human skin is a very dynamic organ, constantly changing depending on a host of factors--personal health and hygiene, fluctuating hormones, surrounding environment, stress levels, et cetera

This innovative delivery system allows the user to easily adjust the strength of the active medications up or down, for maximum acne treatment while minimizing skin irritation, redness, dryness and discomfort.
