lol. how bout back acne?
do u gals having that problem?

i've notice this issue kinda long ago which im having quite some time.
and, today, i come across this article on theSun newspaper,
which is actually a T3 advertisement i guess.

here's some cut n type from the article

Acnes among men

Causes of acne
most people develop acne during adolescene. It is most prevalent in those aged 16 to 18 years. The reasons are:
- higher levels of sex hormones at puberty than in younger children.
- conversion of hormones in the skin to dihydrotestosterone(DHT) which stimulates oil glands to enlarge
- production of sebum by oil glands, called sebaceous glands. The more sebum, the more likely it is that acne will be troublesome
- blockage of skin pores by sebum and keratin(dead skincells) which causes comedones(small rough bumps) to develop
- rupture in the walls of the sebaceous follicies
- bacteria and comedonal debris causing pimples or pustules (inflammatory lesions)

acne becomes less of a problem after age 25, although about 15% of women and  5% of men continue to have it as adults.

Aggravating factors
Some people have particularly severe acne. This may be because of the following factors:
- genetic factors such as other family members having bad acne
- hormonal factors such as higher levels of androgenic hormones due to:
--- enzyme deficiency, such as sterol hydroxylase deficiency (very rare)
--- psychological stress and depression
--- high humidity which may cause swelling of the skin
--- dietary factors such as consuming excessive dairy products

T3 Acne Body Wash contains a bactericidal agent that is effective against P. acnes (Propionibacterium acnes), the causative bacteria associated with body acne.
gonna try the T3.
anyone tried? and how is it?

-ciao
