About This Course
Welcome to "Understanding Acne: A Guide for Parents and Kids", a course designed to empower families with the knowledge and tools to manage acne effectively.

That’s where this course comes in – to provide clear, practical, and expert-backed guidance for both parents and kids.
This course is built from both professional expertise and personal experience. I created it to simplify the science behind acne, teach actionable skincare and treatment strategies, and help families navigate the emotional challenges that often come with acne. Whether you’re new to acne or looking for better solutions, this course will guide you every step of the way.

My goal for this course
My intention when creating this course, was to help young people and their families better navigate their skin struggles, and hopefully avoid what I went through as much as possible. (You can read about my journey in the next lesson).
I hope to instill enough knowledge, that is easily understood and able to be utilised by you and your family, to give you the ability to know how to care for your skin, what products and ingredients to use, know when to seek help and what treatment options are best for you so you can make an informed decision.
Thank you for enrolling in my short course on Acne, and I really do hope that you benefit from what I have included here.
