New research by innovative 100% natural food supplement
company Works with Water Nutraceuticals, undertaken to gain a better understanding
of how acne affects its sufferers, reveals some shocking results.
Across all ages, it appears that a staggering 75% sometimes
or often feel depressed because of their acne, with a further 17% saying
their acne ‘always’ makes them feel depressed. Worryingly, 14%
of participants also say that their acne – or the drugs that they
have taken to treat it – has made them feel suicidal.
The survey completed by 100 acne sufferers highlights that
acne is not only a teenage problem as more than a third of acne sufferers
turns out to be older than 25. Just over three quarters of the respondents
(77%) have suffered from acne for more than three years, causing them long-term
grief. And a quarter of acne suffers are convinced they will never be acne
free during their lifetime.
Eight out of ten of the acne sufferers say that their acne
has a negative effect on their daily lives, while 58% state it sometimes
or often lowers their confidence levels and a further 38% reveal their confidence
levels are always lowered because of their acne.
Almost two thirds of surveyed people (62%) admit they have
declined offers to go out because of their acne and 68% feel their acne
has affected their chances of getting a boyfriend or girlfriend. Furthermore,
acne has been the cause of bullying for 37% of respondents.
Jules Birch, Founder and CEO of Works with Water Nutraceuticals,
who commissioned the research says: “These survey results prove
that acne is more than just a skin condition and causes emotional and psychological
side effects, including low confidence levels and feeling depressed. It
appears 58% of acne sufferers surveyed have tried prescription drugs to
treat their acne, but often these products didn’t cure the problem.
Acne is difficult to treat, but with the right health supplements and skincare
regime, we know great results can be achieved!”

NOTES TO EDITOR:
About help: clear skin from Works with Water Nutraceuticals:
Works with Water Nutraceuticals developed help: clear skin
to offer acne sufferers a 100% natural solution for their skin. Formulated
with scientifically supported ingredients, the proven treatment helps to
clear spots, blemishes and oily skin within 6 weeks and comes in a soluble
formula packaged in individual sachets, which can simply be mixed with your
favourite beverage or soft food.
The key active ingredient in help: clear skin is Praventin
– a bioactive protein extracted from milk using advanced scientific
methods. The skin clearing effect is only activated when it is extracted
from the milk, which is why drinking milk does not deliver the same benefit.
Praventin is rich in Lactoferrin, known to reduce the development
of bacteria responsible for many skin impurities. It also helps to prevent
blemishes and spots forming due to its antimicrobial effect.
