Clear for Life

Here’s an acne cure you haven’t heard of.

There’s a brand of condoms in Cambodia that has lubricant that seems to help with acne.

Telegraph newspaper in the UK reports:

Number One Plus, a water-based lubricant produced by health organisation Population Services International (PSI), is an excellent cure for acne, 29-year-old vendor Tep Kemyoeurn told news agencies.

Apparently Cambodian women have been applying lubricant from these condoms on their faces and seeing their pimples vanish in few days.

Whoever came up with that? I have no idea.

My guess is that the lubricant contains antibacterial or similar substance that kills bacteria and hence ‘cures’ acne.

If you are not getting any because of acne, now you have a good reason to buy condoms. So it at least looks like you have a sex life : )

And who knows, maybe these things do work, and you could start using condoms for what they were made of. Despite this seeming dual purpose, I don’t recommend using the condom you used for sex on you face - or vice versa.

Do use different condoms.

OK, enough of stupid jokes.

Have a great day, and DO buy Clear for Life (just had to work that in).

Here’s one more Accutane legal case that ended up in huge compensations.

Roche, the maker of Accutane, was ordered to pay $2.5 million to 36-year old Andrew McCarrell.

Mr. McCarrell developed an Inflammatory Bowel Disease from taking Accutane. Inflammatory Bowel Disease is the name used to identify a chronic condition of the bowel including diarrhea, painful swelling, cramps of the abdomen, bowel blockage, bloody stool, weight loss, and other symptoms.

Despite the compensation this story doesn’t end up happily for Mr. McCarrell. After enduring several surgeries he had to have his colon removed.

Steep price to pay for clear skin. Especially since you can cure acne with simple diet and lifestyle changes. As I explain in Clear for Life.
