Dermatologists vs Vitamins?
Clear5 is getting a mention on a national news show, but one of the guests is a dermatologist who’ve I’ve already been warned does not think kindly of acne vitamin products. This doesn’t really bother me, as any publicity is good publicity right now, and the fact is that most of our business comes from satisfied repeat customers.
In truth, I would probably agree with this dermatologist when it comes to most vitamin-based clear skin treatments. Most acne vitamins are not based on vitamin B5, but rather a mix of thrown-together antioxidants. Instead of targeting oil regulation, they simply attempt to combat bacteria, which we all know is not the root of the acne problem. Most of these treatments are indeed a waste of money. You’re almost always better off with over-the-counter topical drugs than internal treatments that rely solely on antioxidants.
However, when it comes to vitamin B5 treatments, it’s becoming ridiculous that so many dermatologists are still in denial. Treatments like Clear5 that target oil regulation are backed by both science and real-world experience, with an ever growing number of users who have seen results way too dramatic to ignore. It seems almost irresponsible that some dermatologists continue to write-off B5, even while recommending Accutane - a potentially dangerous prescription drug that works by targeting the exact same problem. While Accutane inhibits oil production, vitamin B5 enhances oil metabolism - both bring similar results by helping the body manage excess oil.
I’m sure sentiments among dermatologists will change as B5 treatment becomes more mainstream, but in the meantime I really don’t think any opinions put forth by skin-care professionals are likely to keep that growth from happening. The fact that many customers discover Clear5 only after going to multiple dermatologists and having no luck whatsoever with the treatments they recommended should say enough.
