I got this email from one of my readers. I think this might be relevant for you too.

“I subscribed to a free newsletter about acne and now get emails from someone named Bob Grant about his CBS System. Just wondering if you heard of this system (he’s promising that he’ll clear you in just 7 days).”
First I want to say that when you subscribe to Acne 101 the system offers you additional newsletters. I don’t like it at all, but there’s nothing I can do to it. I use a third-party service to deliver these emails. All of them have something like this.
Those other emails are not from me, and I have nothing to do with them. Better just click the ‘unsubscribe’ link at the end of them.
I looked at the CBS (Clear, Beautiful, Smooth Skin) System and here are my two cents.
Save your money.
I don’t mean to bash a competitor here, just to offer you friendly advice.
Here’s why I think you should hold on to your wallet and skip this CBS System.
First, I have to admit that I haven’t bought it. I only read the sales letter. But once you understand how to write sales letters and know a bit about getting clear and natural health, it’s easy to ‘decode’ the whole program from the sales letter alone.
I think it’s little more than a glorified ‘Acne Free in 3 Days’.
The CBS System starts you off with a ’3-Day Cleanse’ (you already learned this from Acne 101 lesson 6) and then continues with some type of herbal cleanse in what they call ‘A Personalized System For Your Skin’. The rest of the program concerns itself with keeping you acne free and eliminating acne scars.
The CBS System is based on the idea that toxins cause acne. While it’s true that toxins play a role clear skin and health is much more than simply toxins.
I have no doubt that by following the CBS System some people get clear. It’s a step to the right direction. I’m just warning you that don’t buy into the delusion that you can permanently cure acne in 7 days.
It doesn’t work that way.
It took years, or decades, to develop acne. It’s going to take more than 7 days to cure it. Even if you fast 7 days with pure water and follow it up with 100% raw food diet your acne most likely comes back after the fast.
The healing process simply takes longer.
Yes, by combining a detox and medicating yourself with herbs it may be possible to get clear. But please don’t delude yourself into thinking this is real healing.
Please keep in mind there are no secrets to clear skin. Just like weightloss it comes down to the same old and boring story: healthy lifestyle. In both markets there’s no shortage of people who want you to believe they have finally, after years of backbreaking research and testing, and interviewing hundreds of experts discovered the elusive and long-hidden secret that gives you what you want easily and quickly.
They all play to the same human ‘flaw’ that we all want a quick and easy solution to our problems. Simply walk away when you see these kinds of offers.
Finally remember that clear skin and health is more about how you live your day-to-day life than what you do once in a while.
Because Clear for Life teaches you the nuts and bolts of day-to-day life that gets and keep you clear, I believe into it so strongly. And, sometimes shamelessly, promote it to you. I know it’s going to rock your world and skin.
