Dr. Monroe went on to explain that regular acne creams and treatments only target the surface.
They can’t reach the deeper layers of skin where this stubborn bacteria thrives.
That’s why most treatments seem to work temporarily, only for breakouts to come back.
Under normal conditions, your skin produces oils and sheds dead skin cells to keep everything balanced.
But when something disrupts this process, like bacteria or excess oil production, things start to go wrong.
One of the biggest culprits is Cutibacterium Acnes, a bacteria that lives naturally on your skin.
When your pores get clogged with oil and dead skin,Cutibacterium multiply, trapping everything inside.
As the bacteria grows, it creates inflammation, infection, and eventually acne.
This creates a vicious cycle: clogged pores mean less oxygen, which creates the perfect environment for Cutibacterium to thrive, leading to painful pimples, redness, and breakouts that seem to last forever.
In other words… your pores are being suffocated by oil, bacteria, and dead skin cells, and they can't breathe.
The more clogged they get, the worse your acne becomes, and the harder it is for your skin to clear up.
Your doctor may have prescribed creams and ointments, but that’s only addressing part of the problem.
Why?
Because the most stubborn bacteria lay deep within your pores, and will just grow again.
As Dr. Monroe explained...
It’s like trying to paint over rust on a car. You can cover the surface level damage, but underneath, the rust is still eating away at the metal, never addressing the real problem.
Breakouts, redness, and acne are signs your skin is struggling to breathe…
…and if you keep ignoring them, you can never see an improvement in your skin.
