Understanding acne1
Acne affects roughly 9.4% of people worldwide and is the most common skin condition in the U.S. Though it’s not dangerous, acne can be quite painful when severe and may leave scars. Beyond the physical effects, it can take a toll on mental health, impacting confidence and potentially contributing to anxiety or depression.
The good news? There are plenty of treatments out there to help clear up pimples and reduce scarring.
Types of acne2
- Whiteheads
- Blackheads
- Papules
- Pustules or pimples
- Nodules
- Severe nodular acne (cystic acne)
Acne symptoms¹
Acne can show up almost anywhere on the body, but it commonly affects the face, neck, back, shoulders, and chest. While it often creates a rough, uneven texture, acne can also result in:
- Discoloration: Dark patches or spots (hyperpigmentation) and redness.
- Inflammation: Swelling and tenderness.
- Pain: Sensitivity to touch.
The healing process for a single pimple can vary from a few days to several weeks. However, acne breakouts can take significantly longer to resolve, especially without appropriate treatment.
Acne causes²
Acne can stem from several key factors: excess oil production from overactive sebaceous glands, the buildup of dead skin cells that clog pores, and bacterial growth in these clogged pores, which can lead to inflammation.
The following factors can also increase your risk of developing acne:
- Hormones: Androgens, both male and female sex hormones, stimulate oil production. Hormonal fluctuations during puberty and pregnancy can trigger acne.
- Genetics: A family history of acne may increase your susceptibility.
- Medications: Certain medications, including those containing hormones, corticosteroids, or lithium, can contribute to acne.
- Age: While acne can affect people of all ages, it is most common in teenagers.
Acne can also worsen because of the following:
- Diet: Some studies suggest a link between certain foods and acne severity.
- Stress: Emotional stress can trigger or worsen acne.
- Physical factors: Pressure from helmets, tight clothing, or backpacks can irritate acne-prone skin.
- Environmental irritants: Pollution and high humidity may contribute to acne.
- Skin manipulation: Squeezing, picking, or scrubbing the skin can worsen acne and lead to scarring.
Acne treatments²
- Mild acne: To tackle those pesky pimples as they appear, consider over-the-counter (OTC) medicated creams, cleansers, and spot treatments.
Look for products containing benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid. Benzoyl peroxide dries out existing pimples, prevents new ones, and kills acne-causing bacteria. Salicylic acid exfoliates your skin, preventing pores from clogging. - Moderate acne: If OTC treatments aren’t cutting it after a few weeks, consult a dermatologist. They can prescribe stronger medications to reduce symptoms and prevent scarring.
Consider prescription-strength benzoyl peroxide, antibiotics like erythromycin or clindamycin, or retinoids such as retinol. In some cases, oral antibiotics or hormonal birth control might be recommended. Remember, antibiotics are typically used for short periods to avoid resistance. - Severe acne: For severe acne, your dermatologist may combine several treatments, including oral antibiotics, benzoyl peroxide, topical antibiotics, and topical retinoids. Hormonal birth control or oral isotretinoin (Accutane) might also be considered.
When to seek medical attention³
If over-the-counter treatments aren’t helping your acne or if your acne is severe, consult a dermatologist. They can evaluate your condition, assess scarring risk, and prescribe tailored treatments.

Your treatment and prevention plan
At CherylLeeMD, we know that if you have acne prone skin, it can be really difficult to find a moisturizer that doesn’t make your acne worse. TrueLipids Hydrate Correct & Perfect Lotion helps to balance oil production and to minimize pore size. With the perfect amount of moisture and with niacinamide–a molecule that has been proven to benefit acne. Glycyrrhetinic acid is a naturally occurring anti-inflammatory molecule that has been shown to diminish redness and to brighten skin. This quality is especially beneficial for those with darker skin types as well and lighter skin.
Healthy skin secrets from CherylLeeMD
Anti-inflammatory ingredients that help restore the skin barrier
Certain anti-inflammatory agents play a significant role in restoring a healthy skin barrier. The ingredient that is most helpful is called 18 ß-glycyrrhetinic acid. Despite its scientific sounding name, this compound is derived from licorice and has significant anti- inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and DNA reparative qualities.
Scientists who have worked with 18 ß-glycyrrhetinic acid have noted that it fights staphylococcal and MRSA infections as well as viral infections like RSV and Candida. All three of these healthy skin secrets play an important role in relieving painful, dry, itchy red skin conditions. When you combine them together in the right concentrations, what you get is a powerful skin care product that helps support and restore healthy skin.

Niacinamide and the super vitamin for skin
With countless research studies showing effectiveness in eczema, acne and rosacea, niacinamide also packs an amazing anti-inflammatory punch. Niacinamide also has DNA-reparative functionalities that are perfect for damaged, inflamed and infected skin. The TrueLipids combination of niacinamide and 18 ß-glycyrrhetinic acid is incredibly soothing to your skin.

PH balance
We discovered that healthy skin has a pH that is moderately acidic— between 4.6 – 5.6. This moderately acidic pH naturally protects your skin against harmful bacteria and viruses and supports a healthy skin barrier that keeps moisture in and other harmful elements out.
However, when you wash your skin with traditional soaps, you scrub away the skin’s natural acidity and make it alkaline. Even using pure water washes away your skin’s natural acids. Most lotions and moisture replacement therapies are very alkaline too, which makes the problem worse.
Our research showed that helping the skin regain its natural acidic pH was critical to treating the worst skin condition.
Healthy skin secrets from CherylLeeMD
Lipid replacement
Healthy skin has a delicate balance of ceramides, very long chain fatty acids, cholesterol and cholesterol esters. Too much of one or the other is what leads to multiple skin diseases. Too little of these important lipids and your skin dries out and cracks.
Many of the treatments recommended by doctors today are made with just one of these critical ingredients, like cholesterol. But if you put cholesterol on your skin without the balance of other lipids, the result is eczema, increased wrinkles, and dried-out, rashy skin.
Perhaps most important of all, our products are made without any of the 88 top allergens commonly found in other skincare products—things like bees wax, parabens, PEGs, fragrances, dyes, and 83 other potentially allergenic ingredients. CherylLeeMD products are truly allergen-free.

About Cheryl Lee Eberting, M.D.
Inventor of the TrueLipids® and TrueCider™ Technology. Board-Certified Dermatologist, Former NIH Scientist and Expert in Acne
“I have spent my entire career focused on the treatment of difficult skin conditions. While working as a clinical research scientist at the National Institutes of Health, I treated patients from all over the world with very severe skin problems. I found that there were no effective AND non-toxic solutions for my patients–especially for people who have sensitive skin. I set out to create products that are effective AND hypoallergenic AND non-toxic for all ages. After almost FIVE years of trial and error, TrueLipids and TrueCider were born! These products are so effective that they have received United States patents, and won many awards.
Give them a try. I’m sure you will love them like my family and I do.”
With Love,
