Brands lying about products

Anyone wanna tell me why most brand say “Clinical proven to help acne”. *Uses it for a week*…..BREAKS OUT SO MUCH, There’s gunna be somone saying “It might not be for your skin type…..you think I would use it then”?. OMG sorry I sound kinda mad right now, but does anyone know why most brands will lye about how they help acne?

@Bxterfly  It’s probably not brands lying. Some ingredients can cause “purging” while they attack acne-causing bacteria and/or speed up your skin cell turnover rate (and, as a result, your acne cycle). Example: adapalene, a retinoid, is kinda infamous for bringing lots of acne you didn’t even know you had to the surface of your skin. Salicylic acid can also cause some purging. 

Also, skin type isn’t the only reason a product might not be right for you. My facial skin’s sensitive to some ingredients (lavender is my face’s nemesis), so I avoid products that contain ‘em. Witch hazel strips the heck outta my skin so I avoid it. Which product did you try? It’s always possible your skin doesn’t like something in it.
