I never knew just how much stress played a factor in your skin levels. Calming down really has it’s benefits..
The myth that junk food causes acne surprised me. Especially since when I eat fast food I often do break out. Must be something else.
Youcan cure acne? false you can treat it.
“Popping pimples makes them heal faster.” FALSE. This makes perfect sense to me!
I was surprised junk food causes acne.
I was very surprised that junk food does not cause acne.
#4 It’s a myth that you get acne from not washing your face enough.
I was really surprised to hear that tanning doesn’t cure acne. My sister has been tanning for years because she thought it cured her acne. She has even tried to get me to go with her! But I have already had issues with skin cancer before, and tanning in a tanning bed would only make it worse!
I found it surprising that there is make up that helps acne. I always thought that make up made it worse.
Thanks for the giveaway!
Myth #2 about junk food and oil, I recently was breaking out and had a really oily face and attributed to all the candy and snacks I was eating letely but to know that it is hormone related is interesting. Means my hormones were probably contributing to my sweet tooth that led to the greesy face
Stress causes breakouts
I found myth 8 to be the most surprising. I knew the others, but know that when I use makeup on acne, it just makes it worse.
I found the myth about stress causing breakouts to be most interesting.
Eating junk food doesn’t cause acne! I seem to always break out with one blemish, even at 48, when we do ‘McDonald’s’ night!
I was surprised to learn acne is not just a teenage thing. I didn’t know you could still get acne well into your 50s.
I found that the eating junk food myth was surprising. I know my friend in Japan always stresses to me to watch what I eat. That what I am eating is causing my breakouts (as an adult, so I am not surprised by the fact ache is not just a teen issue as I had it all my life). I must say the Neutrogena products have totally helped me go from a pizza face to a pretty clear face. Thank you. I have people ask me all the time what I do for my skin so I am a walking billboard for Neutrogena. Just glad to hear that what i eat is a myth although I am still trying to be more healthy for other reasons.
Greasy foods are not a big factor in acne problems. This was myth #2 in the video.
The ones that surprised me the most were eating junk food and stress!
I was surprised to find out that covering acne with makeup does not make it worse! Always thought it would.

None surprised me. I’ve tried to learn a lot about my skin over the years
The myth about acne and teenagers….This had me as a teen
I am surprised that junk food does not cause acne…. maybe its not the root cause, but I am sure it does not help
The eating junk food doesn’t cause acne one is the most surprising because it always seems to be that way. If that’s true, how is it such a big coincidence that when I eat bad food, my skin goes crazy?
I have to say that I am most surprised by the fact that stress does not cause breakouts. I would have sworn it to be true, lol!
Waiting acne out. My Mom always said.. just give it time, it will get better. There is nothing else you can do about it except keep your face washed. False Mom!
That seniors get acne to, not just younger people
I was surprised to find out that make up can help acne! I’ve always thought the opposite.

The myth I found to be surprising wash washing your face more than twice a day is overkill

#4 that not washing your face enough causes acne! Mostly. I think they all kind of shocked me!
the stress factor and skin. new stress reaks a lot of havoc but wasnt sure just how much

that makeup makes pimples worse. I always thought it did.
all of them, i was shocked…i wash my face everyday thinking it would help, it dont and i always wondered why…now i know, cause its not true!!
I was kinda shocked to find out that make-up does not cause acne!!
the myth about the junk food surprised me.

I was really surprised to hear that tanning doesn’t cure acne, it has always helped my skin, whether my face or body!
popping pimples does not make them heal faster
Fact using make up on acne makes it much worse, and harder to clear up.
Most surprising to me was the myth that acne is curable.
The myth that I found as surprising is that “acne is a right of passage”. I always believed EVERY teen/person has to go thru a phase of pimples/acne. With good hygeine & healty eating habits, it can definitely be controlled
Thank you!
I found that the eating junk food myth was surprising. I actually found a few of them surprising.
I’m surprised tanning doesn’t help breakouts! That usually works for me…who knew?!
Stress has many sides and the effects keep adding up for us all….
i’m relieved and surprised to hear that wearing makeup over your acne doesnt cause it to get worse. i always go without my foundation if im having a bad breakout week, and im happy to hear i dont have to!
I was most surprised by the myth that tanning doesn’t help! I grew up in Southern California, and spent many, many summers in the sun. I had always noticed a correlation between summer and less acne. Maybe it was the stress levels being lower?
Never realized how much stress plays a factor with your skin…:/
The one about junk food.
I liked hearing that you shouldn’t wash your face more than twice a day. Also, that acne is not just for teenagers.

Didn’t know that you could wash your face too much…good to know to just stick to 2wice a day. Great video to help fight acne:)

I never thought of tanning to get rid of acne. That was very surprising.
I was surprised that stress does indeed make your skin break out. I did notice that I tended to break out more when I was stressed out, but never thought it was actually causing it.
I knew that stress could cause breakouts, but I never really understood why. I was surprised to learn that stress actually causes an increase in hormones which leads to the production of more oil in the skin. I love learning new things
I found it surprising that acne isn’t caused by just junk food
Hope I’m not entering twice, but I can’t find my original comment. Myth number 4….about getting pimples if you don’t wash your face enough. The video said that twice a day is enough.

Didn’t know that washing your face too much causes acne. Good to know. Video had lots of helpful hints to fight acne:)
Stress causes breakouts.. hmmm.. I may have found my cause! lol
I am a big makeup person and I was always told that makeup clogged your pores and that’s why you should remove it every night before bed. I didn’t believe that because when I went to boot camp and couldn’t wear makeup for 2 months, I still broke out. Glad to know I was right!
always knew junk food and stress play a part but how to manage stress would be more helpful. I’ve suffered from acne all my life and now in my 30′s I still get breakouts!

I was surprised that junk food does not cause acne.
Tanning doesnt cure acne. You can never cure acne only treat it.
I found that the eating junk food myth was surprising, it’s one we’ve heard all the time in our culture. Someone else mentioned that there must be a correlation with the hormones and the cravings for junk food then.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I was really surprised to hear that tanning doesn’t cure acne
The videos were very informative, but I have to say the biggest surprise was that tanning isn’t a cure for acne. To me, my acne always seems to clear up when the sun hits me, but then again I guess that it does make sense since the sun can also brings out blisters.
The junk food one.
I didn’t know about the junk food and i was extremly surprised!
The myth that surprised me the most was the one about eating junk food can cause acne. It’s strange that it doesn’t because when I eat too much junk, I seem to have more breakouts. But then again, it could be me stressing out too much worrying about gaining weight from the junk lol. Great video!
The tanning thing, I had never heard of that before!
I was surprised by their claim that makeup doesn’t cause acne by clogging pores. I’m still not convinced…
All greases are not created equal! Interesting that hormones vs. grease trigger breakouts. Althought stress can lead to bad eating so I can see why people think of the direct link…
I always heard junk food made it worse.
fact 3: stress leading to breakouts.
Fact 3: Stress causes breakouts.
I was surprised that you could wash your face “too much.” Interesting.

#10 You don’t have to wait it out. That’s good to know.
I always thought acne was a teenager issue so #1 was my surprise. THanks for the opportunity for the giveaway!
I was surprised to hear that popping pimples did not help them to heal faster. I know it helps them not hurt longer! But as with any open sore you would have to keep it clean!
there’s no “cure” for acne. simply a “treatment” for it.
All of these facts/myths make sense, but it is kind of surprising/sad that stress leads to acne.
I was shocked to learn that junkfood does not trigger breakouts…Always thought it did!

Thank you for the awesome give away
I have learned all these myths since becoming an adult, but as a teen we used to tan to get rid of breakouts. I have since stopped worshiping the sun once I had a cancer scare, and now I never leave the house without sunscreen on!
The junk-food/acne link. Sure does seem like a cause to me!

The myth about junk food causing acne was a surprise to me. I cut out a lot of junk food cause I thought it was one of the causes of my acne problems. Now I can enjoy some good ole junk food without being so worried about a skin breakout.
I knew that stress was a factor, but this gave me even more info.
The myth that chocolate and junk food causes breakouts surprised me. I really thought that all that greasy food was bad for your skin (not just your weight!). I’m glad to know I can continue my chocolate addiction

i’m surprised to learn that using makeup won’t make acne worse. That is the exact opposite of everything I thought I knew! Can’t wait to tell my daughter!
I was most surprised by the fact that makeup does not make acne worse. I had always thought it was best to avoid makeup, leave the face clear, in order to clear up acne. It was actually a pleasant surprise to discover that I could apply makeup during a breakout without aggravating the problem.
I like #8, always heard that makeup made your breakouts worse.
I’ve had acne my entire life, and it seems to be getting worse as I age. There wa nothing in the video that really surprised me, however, their explinations on why popping pimples is bad and the acknowledgement that acne is not just a teenage problem was really helpful!!
That stress plays such a large part.
i have always heard that being calm is good for your blood pressure… it can be good for watching your weight.. but now even for acne?! i guess im going to have to start drinking a little wine with my breakfast.. you know?… for health reasons
I learned junk food does not cause acne.
I was surprised that junk food doesnt cause acne. Stress does not cause acne either?? I thought for sure it did.
I was surprised that stress causes breakouts
junk food and oils and dead skin cells
I was pleasantly surprised to find out that even us adults can get acne… I’m 46 and have been a little weirded out at the breakouts I’ve been experiencing.
I always thought acne was caused by junk food, especially the greasy stuff! It’s hard to believe it’s not and will take some adjusting!

THAT STRESS CAUSES ACNE.
Tanning surprised me! As a teenager the doctors put under a UV lamp for acne treatment. How wrong they were apparently!
It really surprised me that covering up acne with makeup doesn’t clog pores and make them worse! I always thought it did! I was also really surprised that stress doesn’t cause breakouts, and neither does eating junk food!
Growing up I was always told that eating “junk food” would cause break-outs on my face, so I told my children the same thing. Well now that I know that this is a myth, I am going to call my kids and apologize and then call my mom and tell her that it would have been alright for me to have eaten a little junk food once in a while that it wouldn’t have caused any pimples.
i learned that tanning doesn’t cure acne. my mom always told me that!
I always thought it interesting that people say they have acne into their 40′s and 50′s…now I know it is proven that they can have acne well into these years of their lives. Thanks.
Didn’t ever really think about sunscreen causing problems with my skin but it makes sense!
washing your face to much
I thought the myth tanning was the most interesting. To me, it made sense that tanning would dry it out and maybe help acne, but I guess not!
acne is not curable but it is controllable by medication.
That not washing your face does not cause acne!
I was surprised to hear the one about popping pimples. My family has always popped pimples and didn’t realize it could lead to scarring or infection! Not gonna do that anymore now! Thank you for the link to the videos, BSD!
Stress causing breakouts….I can blame it all on my two and three year old then right? =]
Teenagers only get acne – FALSE!
I was surprised about makeup and acne. I figured it would make it worse, unless you were using special makeup with acne meds in it.
Acne is a teenage issue- so not true.
That eating chocolate causes acne! False!
I’ve never heard of the “tanning cures acne” myth. in fact, i would think it would hurt your skin even more. I never go out into the sun so I guess I’ll have acne forever, lol!!
I am irritated that acne can happen when you get older .. I have had this problem a lot the past year or 2 & I am 46 .. mostly break out on my chin .. ugh..
thanks for the giveaway!
Eating junk food causes acne??? Love my chocolate!
I was surprised to learn that at my age 50, I am getting acne for the first time. hate menopause !!! yukkkkkkkkkkkkk
Stress! Never knew that. I had ultraviolet treatments at 11 years old. Wish someone had helped me with stress. I got help with all the other symptoms.
Thanks for this opportunity to correct many skin problems.
I thought the myth about eating junk food not causing acne was really surprising because that is what I was told growing up, “stop eating all the junk food and drink more water”
I was surprised to learn that Neutrogena has developed make up that doesnt clog up pores and cause acne. I always steered away from using make up around my nose and forehead in an effort to keep my pores clean.
I was most surprised about the myth that tanning would help acne. Not only was I surprised by the fact that it wasn’t true, but also that this myth even existed. I had never heard this before but it seemed like maybe it made sense that it would at least HIDE the problem, but that it would cure it? Really interesting little series. Good luck everyone!
Stress causes breakouts! If I was relaxed all the time would I have less pimples on my face? Amazing!

That stress causes acne.
I always thought that makeup would make it worse
that stress causes acne.
I’m most surprised that junk food doesn’t cause break outs! I was positive that cutting out junk and sugar would help me clear up my acne!
I had no idea stress could be the cause. We all need to relax – how.
I never knew that sunscreen could cause acne, because they stress how important it is to put it on so often….
surprised junk food causes acne
acne is just for teen-agers. would love to win this one. thanks for sharing.
I thought acne was curable! I always thought dermotologists had the power.
My biggest thing I learned was that about tanning and acne. I thought it was good for you skin (of course it is) but thought it was very good to help clear skin. I LOVE the Neutrogena line, the facewash, cleaning cloths, and the makeup! I have been using thier makeup with salicylic acid it it for over a year now!
None of the information surprised me. I am 55 years old and have had less than 10 days total since I was 11 years old when I didn’t have some breakout on my skin. I have heard it all and I have tried it all. At least, I have tried everything I have ever heard of. Until today I have never heard that Neutrogena has a line devoted to adult acne. I have little hope of winning this giveaway but I do appreciate the post. I will try anything. Thanks.
I thought stress causes breakouts!
I’ve heard junk food doesn’t cause breakouts, but I’ve recently found out that what you eat can affect your hormones … thus, affect acne. So, a healthy diet CAN help!
that only teenagers get breakouts.
Myth#2. I was surprised to find that eating junk food does not contribute to breakouts. Maybe it’s because I tend to eat more junk food when I am stressed. Thanks for the info.
It’s so true that acne can stay with you for years! When I was young and dumb, I thought once I was an adult, I wouldn’t have pimple problems. Well, I’m 54, and I still have problems. At least my oily face is keeping me looking younger than I am!
junk food causes acne – that is not good for me – I love my sweets.
that greasy food doesn’t lead to pimples…
go figure…
I knew about all of these, but I guess I never really think about the stress issue enough. At 59 years of age, I am still getting break outs… must be stress related.
I was surprised to hear that acne isn’t necessarily curable, even by expensive products. I was on Acutane during my teenage years and though it did WONDERS, now in my late 20s I still get the occasional zit or two. I guess there really is no “cure all”, but some products sure do make acne more manageable–Neutrogena being one of them!!
Sunscreen causes breakouts.
I’m shocked that washing your face too many times can cause acne! Who knew that a clean face can lead us into trouble too! It seems like you can’t win! haha
I learned that washing your face too often can make it worse. It is a myth that acne is from not washing your face enough.
Not overly surprised by any of it, because I have tried to avoid breakouts, but it is nice to know that treating acne does help shorten the breakout, instead of just waiting it out. I’ve used Nutregena on and off for years, I try new stuff occasionally, but always go back.
The one about popping your pimples, I wish I knew this when I was 16 yo because everyone kept telling me to pop mine because I had terrible acne
tbarrettno1 at gmail dot com
Thought makeup help cause breakouts..nice to see its a myth!
Stress
That washing your face too much can cause you to break out more. I thought I needed to twice a day; nope!
Stress was the most shocking. Even doctors have said stress plays a part in it. I’m just wondering why at 29 I still get breakouts. Very frustrating! I feel like I’ll have to deal with it my entire adult life.
acne in your 50′s? not just a teen thing,it’s all your hormones. you learn everyday.
Tanning will cure your acne.
Stress doesn’t cause pimples? Could’ve fooled me!
The myth about stress causing acne. Really?
I was surprised that junk food didn’t cause acne. I always heard you are what you eat!
i was surprised that sunscreen causes breakouts
I think some of the really old sunscreens used to cause acne, since they weren’t specialized for faces. Glad to see that is a myth now.

that strees plays trickes on you skin. I did not know that.
I found the snack food causing acne myth surprising. i had always heard that junk food caused acne, along with other things of course. But, I always thought this was one of the number one things that caused it. All the videos were very interesting and very informative.
Very interesting also about stress and acne. I had always heard this.
Stress does indeed cause breakouts! I always wondered about that one because when I would have a big presentation or interview, I seemed to always have a breakout. Thanks for confirming that!
“Wait Out Acne”… This kind of surprised me because people have always said ‘It’ll get better as you get older’… Not true! Make sure you take care of your skin. I have battled acne for years and Neutrogena is one of the best treatments I have found!
Sunscreen causes breakouts – I know for a fact that the non-Neutrogena lines do!
the myth that Junk food causes acne surprised me! thanks for the great giveaway. i love your website!

I didn’t realize that they made less oily sunscreen for faces
I didn’t know stress caused breakouts!!!
So eating junk food is not the cause of acne,wow. I’ve heard the myth about chocolate causing acne but never believed it.
I actually already knew all of those.
I used to think that washing your face more helped though. I have found that washing my face only once a day, at night, helps a lot with breakouts.
I knew all of these and have used thier products in the past ,I am one of the lucky ones that is just prone to acne and still plagued by it into my 50′s
had no idea stress causes breakouts.
Surprised about stress causing breakouts.
I thought it was interesting that they can now make makeup that you can wear over breakouts. THAT is an improvement!
I was surprised that junk food doesn’t cause breakouts. BTW I absolutely love the smell of pink grapefruit!
Thanks for the giveaway! Very timely, since I have been struggling lately & it is so embarrassing! Even though junk food doesn’t cause it, I sure could do a better job eating & detoxing!
That acne can’t be cured..bummer..
Junk food does not cause acne
i could not believe washing your face and popping pimples well i do both no wonder my pimples keep getting bad
I am surprised to hear that makeup does not make acne worse. I always feel like my skin is clearer and cleaner when not wearing it!
I pretty much knew what was myth and what wasn’t already. I am still not convinced that make-up will not aggravate acne–for some people. I understand that there are products available that will help most people but not everyone. My mother is in her 60′s and she has to be very careful about what products she uses. Most products cause her to break out.
So surprised that junk food causing breakouts is a myth. I’ve heard that everywhere, from health school in elementary school to magazines. Go figure
Did not know about junkfood, giid thing I don’t eat much of that anymore
I’m most surprised that sunscreen doesn’t cause breakouts – most leave your skin feeling so greasy, that I’ve always thought it made acne worse! Nice to know it doesn’t
i never thought that stress could cause acne, i always thought it was stuff you ate or use on your skin

acne is not caused by junk food. Score!
I love the way that Neutrogena sunscreen doesn’t cause breakouts on my skin. Love it and the facial wash also.
It really makes sense that stress plays such a big part.
The most surprising to me was that junk food does not cause Acne! I always think of eating greasy food and breaking out goes together. That did surprise me….and also that popping pimples does not make them heal faster! I always thought it did! I learned alot, thats for sure!
I was surprised to find out junk food doesnt cause acne
I try to tell everyone that junk food doesn’t cause acne!!! Thankfully this video proves my point! Just because I ate that slice of pizza, doesn’t make me more pimpplyyy!!!
So good to know junk food doesnt cause acne!
It was surprising to learn the sun doesnt help fight acne, also how much stress can trigger my breakouts- im 31 youd think id be done with zits by now lol
I found most to be interesting but the face washing and junk food was the best. I have always fought with my acne and nothing seems to work:( good info thanks
Eating junk food does not cause acne!
That Acne is a teenage thing only because I didn’t have acne as a teen but now as an adult my acne is out of control.
The popping pimples myth! I thought that for sure, it would lead to more acne!
Stress causing breakouts explains a lot. I thought it might..
It was nice to hear that they now have makeup to help acne breakouts not make them worse. Thanks for the giveaway!
I was surprised to find out that makeup does not cause acne.
I was surprised to hear that blackheads were not composed of dirt . . . but rather oil.
I found it very interesting that people think something’s other than their own body chemistry can cause acne….really?
The junk food myth!!
I have used colgate toothpaste for years on pimples that pop up and they are gone the next day.
I have learned and read about all of these myths in my nursing studies, and can’t say anything surprised me, I just wanted to say how well this was put together.
I was surprised that you can wash your face too much.
Sunscreen causes breakouts…no wonder when I applied sunscreen to my face at the beach I broke out the next day =/ Can’t win trying to protect your face!
I never realized that tanning doesn’t “cure” acne. I found this especially surprising, because my brther suffered bad acne as a teenager, and it was actually recommended to him by his dermotoligist to use a tanning bed a few times a week to help clear it up. Very surprising!!!
I never knew how much stress and depression could take a toll on your skin. Also lots of sun without protection.
I stay informed about my skin so the majority of the myths were already debunked for myself years ago. That being said, I was surprised to hear that acne is not curable. Who would have thought all of those expensive prescription creams sold cannot cure it only help reduce the appearance.
I was most surprised by the myth that popping pimples makes them go away faster. I was always told to pop them when they have a whitehead. Opps.
I was surprised to hear that tanning can’t clear up acne. Every time I tan (which isn’t often) it seems to go away. Then again my face is naturally oily so it probably is just getting rid of the excess oil.
I was surprised to hear that it was ok to cover a zit – my Mom always said just leave it alone and keep it clean. Will look for those product now!
Thanks for the info about Neutrogena – acne well into the 50′s was a surprise.
Acne well into the 50′s was a surprise.
That my stress levels have A LOT to do with my face “freak outs”
I need to Woooooooosahhhhhhh more
I was surprised to hear that tanning doesn’t help get rid of acne. I am 100% against tanning and I have friends that tan because they tell me it is supposed to help with acne problems. Good to know it is false!
The myth that junk food causes acne. I grew up being told not to eat chips because my face would break out.
I found the myth about popping them to be interesting. Its hard to just let it be.
The myth that I found to be surprising from the Neutrogena videos was: Eating junk food didn’t cause acne! It’s false, at least for me!
LOL……that my mother was wrong about junk food causing acne. I didnt get much acne as a teenager but now that im in my 30′s Im getting acne. I have a super oily I zone.
My mom was so wrong about junk food causing acne…. Ive gotten more acne and have an oily I zone…. in my 30′s
Thought that stress would bring on breakouts!
Stress cause acne. Not true.
I found that junk food not causing acne was interesting. I always thought the two were connected!
The myth that Acne is a teenage thing….I am 46 and still get acne, so does my mother.
I really thought that sunscreens caused breakouts but according to the video that’s a myth!
I had a huge sweet tooth as a teenager and my mom was always warning me that all that chocolate was going to make me break out/ Take that mom!
Myth #8- I am glad to hear there are products that can be worn during breakouts! excited for this giveaway!!!
I never realized that makeup was ok with acne~~Always heard all my life not to use it when I had acne~~Thanks bunches Neutrogena my life is forever changed!!!
That junk food doesn’t cause breakouts! I have heard all of my life that if you eat greasy food you will have a greasy, acne prone face! It does make sense that it is hormones because that is when I eat the greasy, bad for you foods.
I used to believe putting make-up on top of a breakout only exacerbated the problem. Now I’m much better informed as to the myths!
I thought I would outgrow acne but at 43 I still fight it. I was suprised to learn that junk food doesnt cause acne.
…that my occasional outbreak at 54 is normal.
E stress issue! I now know where my breakouts are coming fromth
The only one that was a little surprising to me was the tanning one. But it makes sense that tanning just “hides” the redness.
I was surprised to hear that wearing makeup doesn’t make it worse.
I would like to know more about the makeup products available.
I was very surprised that sunscreen causes breakouts. I never knew that!
My husband always told me to pop pimples to make them heal faster! I believed him. He was wrong. Can’t wait to tell him.
