[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]01:12 pp: it is absolutely not true that good skin is "all about good hygiene" and you're insulting lots of people by saying that. My DD washed her face religiously but still needed accutane. It worked beautifully, by the way.[/quote]

+1.  All about good hygiene?  Please.  I could have scrubbed off layers of my skin and I still would have had acne.  [/quote]

+2. Clearly someone who has never had to deal with severe hormonal acne. Hygiene has very little to do with it. And OP, "cream of the crop genes"? Do you actually believe that? I would guess better nutrition and access to medical care, plus parents who have the time and money to help their children address skin issues. [/quote]

Another kid who was obsessive about cleaning her face, to no avail.  My acne is totally hormonal, and no amount of cleaning makes a difference.

I think the difference is that wealthier parents have the time, money, and inclination to pursue prescription treatments for acne.  If you have less disposable income and paid leave, trips to the dermatologist to address a cosmetic issue are probably lower on your list of priorities.   [/quote]
