Praise for You Don't Have to Have Acne
"Dr. Colsky's breakthrough insight into healing acne is truly an eye-opening opportunity to reevaluate how we approach acne treatment in general dermatology practice. His "seven rules" for surviving acne go right to the heart of the common roadblocks that usually prevent patients from achieving clear skin. I will recommend this book as required reading for all of my patients suffering with acne. ”
