Transcript of Why DHT is Causing Your Acne
What causes acne used
to be blamed on the
wrong things. Even the
medical community
once thought acne was
caused by:
• Poor hygiene
• Eating fried foods
• Eating chocolate
Now the real cause of acne is evident:
Acne is caused by a hormone called dihydro-
testosterone or DHT. DHT is a byproduct of the
body's production of testosterone.
Testosterone is the "male hormone," but both
sexes have testosterone in their bodies.
Testosterone is responsible for:
• Producing red blood cells
• Storing muscle
• Storing body fat
• Controlling bone mass
• Sex drive
Testosterone can come
from both natural and
unnatural sources. While
the body produces
testosterone naturally,
many drugs also contain
testosterone, including:
• Corticosteroids
• Androgens
• Lithium
Fluctuations in DHT
levels cause excessive
oil production in the
skin. This excess oil
clogs pores. Bacteria
grow in the clogged
pores and lead to
irritation and
inflammation. An
inflamed pore
produces a pimple.
TESTOSTERONE CAUSES
THE PRODUCTION OF DHT
Other things can cause hormonal
fluctuations that affect DHT levels
and lead to acne, including:
• Puberty
• Menstrual periods
• Birth control pills
• Stress
Some foods can also
contribute to
hormonal fluctuations
that aggravate acne,
including dairy
products like: milk, ice
cream, yogurt, and
cheese.
As well as
carbohydrates like:
bread, rolls, muffins,
and buns.
Lowering DHT levels also has
other benefits aside from
stopping acne, such as:
• Avoiding acne scarring
• Helping maintain the
skin's elasticity
• Improving self-esteem in
people who are
embarrassed by their
acne
Only one over-the-counter product is available
that stops DHT in its tracks. Products that don't
control DHT only work for a short time.
Clearogen helps control DHT
to prevent acne breakouts.
Clearogen works over the
long term because it
attacks the root of the
acne problem.
Clearogen is the only over-the-
counter acne medication that
attacks acne at its source: DHT.
Clearogen offers a complete line
of skin care products to fight
acne while keeping the skin
beautiful and healthy. Clearogen
doesn't fight acne breakouts
after they start—it solves the
problem that causes acne to
begin in the first place.
