The authors conducted a review of medical literature to disprove
the layman’s perceptions that diet, hygiene and sunlight
exposure cause acne. They found that there is surprisingly little
evidence to prove or disprove such “myths or misconceptions”!
And what evidence there is actually were from studies with technical
limitations.
