Almost all acne sufferers admitted to being depressed because of their skin, with 17 per cent saying they ‘always’ felt depressed.
The survey was conducted by Works with Water Nutraceuticals, a natural food supplement company, to gain a better understanding of how acne affects its suffers. The survey revealed some shocking results into the emotional damage acne can do.
Just over three quarters (77 per cent) of participants suffered from acne for more than three years, causing them long-term grief. While, one in four believed that that they would never be acne free in their lifetime.
The most shocking result, however, revealed that 14 per cent of participants said that their acne, or the drugs they were taking to treat it, had made them feel suicidal.
Jules Birch, founder and CEO of Works with Water Nutraceutical, said: “these survey results prove that acne is more than just a skin condition, and it can cause emotional and psychological side effects.”
Participants also said that their confidence has been severely knocked because of their acne, with 68 per cent saying they thought their acne would affect their chances of having a boyfriend or girlfriend in the future.
