About Acne Cut

Acne Cut publishes plain-language information about acne and skin. Most acne content online exists to sell something; this does not. We explain what is actually happening in the skin, what the common ingredients do, and where the evidence is genuinely unclear.

This is not medical advice

Nobody who publishes Acne Cut is a dermatologist, doctor, nurse or pharmacist. We do not diagnose, and nothing here is a treatment recommendation for you specifically. Acne varies enormously between people, and what suits one person’s skin can irritate another’s. If your acne is painful, cystic, scarring, getting worse, or affecting how you feel day to day, please talk to a doctor or a dermatologist. That is a normal thing to do and it is what they are there for — going early is not an overreaction.

What we will not do

• We will not recommend prescription medication, give doses, or suggest any way of obtaining prescription treatment without a doctor.
• We will not promise results or put a timeline on clear skin. Nobody honest can.
• We will not use before-and-after framing, and we do not publish photographs of people’s skin.
• We will not invent statistics, studies or trial results. Where the evidence is mixed we say so rather than picking the tidier answer.
• We will not imply that acne is caused by being unclean, lazy or eating badly. It is not, and that idea does real harm.

Who writes this, and how

Articles on this site are drafted with AI assistance and checked against a fixed editorial standard before publication. Some of those checks are automated. The standard: no doses, no promises, no invented statistics or studies, and a plain note wherever the evidence is unclear. They are not written or reviewed by a dermatologist, doctor or pharmacist.

Most articles do not yet list the sources behind them. We are rewriting every article so that each one names its sources from recognized health bodies and peer-reviewed reviews, and shows the date it was last updated. Until an article lists its sources, please treat it as a starting point rather than a reference. The full detail, including corrections and advertising, is in our editorial policy.

We have no relationship with any brand, clinic or retailer, and no one pays to appear here.

Corrections

If we have got something wrong we would genuinely rather know. Use the contact form with the article and what is incorrect, and we will check it and amend the page.
