Acne is a condition that can be treated and managed but not cured. Clear Acne Treatment Program does not present itself as a cure for acne, but rather, as a step in its effective management. If you have acne that is difficult to control with topical agents you should consult your physician as you might have an underlying hormonal problem. If you develop any irritation or discomfort with any Clear Clinical product you should discontinue use and see your physician if your condition does not improve.
