Hey guys, Jeroen again here to share a weird update with you about another experience I figured I would share.
My buddy Shawn Heiner, a video game playing guru, has been struggling with acne for quite a long time, and just like me, he was pretty fed up with it.
He was so self-conscious about it at times that he was afraid to let his girlfriend see him in regular light.
- Rather check out my top 5 tips to that work super fast?
- Or read my post about removing existing scars.
With a hopeless attitude, Shawn had been going to the dermatologist for years to do something about the redness, the blemishes, and those ugly annoying whiteheads.
I couldn’t blame him for his attitude, but I admired him for being proactive about it and actually visiting the dermatologist on a regular basis.
It was more effort than I had made about my personal struggle with acne.
I mean, how was I supposed to help him? I’m not going to come out and say, “hey, you’re acne is really ugly, you need to get real help.”
That would be pretty messed up right?
Well one day, he actually mentioned something about it to me.
I guess it had finally broken him so bad that out of desperation, he felt like he just needed to vent to one of his friends about it.
I assured him I understood what he was going through, and he knew I was genuine because he’d seen me struggle with it myself.
When he began to notice I wasn’t struggling with it anymore, he asked me if I had found some miracle cream or cleansing treatment that had cleared up my acne and left no trace of it.
I actually became pretty excited that I finally had some knowledge and experience to share with him.
We played a lot of PS3 together online, but he was always schooling me in every game I had ever played.
I said, “no cream, cleanser, or medication is going to get rid of your acne… it only temporarily minimizes the symptoms before it makes it worse…”
He replied, “trust me, I know all about that… So how did you do it?”
I showed him some cheesy video online about curing acne permanently that had completely changed my life.
He agreed the video was cheesy, and he was kind of turned off by all of the grammatical errors in the text and of the narrator.
I said, “well, Dr. Mike Walden is pretty bad with grammar, but he is a doctor, and I have to admit, he is an expert on holistically curing acne forever.
He’s helped thousands of people that had the same problem as you and me.
He also suffered from severe acne himself, but now, like me, he has permanently smooth, radiant skin.”
Shawn liked the idea of treating his acne naturally, but he became very excited about getting rid of it all together… forever.
At first he said, “I don’t know if this is really for someone like me.
I’m a really extremely disorganized person, and I’m not sure if I could really stick to any treatment regimen.”
I looked at him, raised my eyebrows and responded: “Are you kidding me? Do you know who you are talking to?”.
We just laughed and decided to forget about the whole thing and just go back to what we were good at (or at least him) – playing video games.
“I don’t know if this is really for someone like me. I’m a really extremely disorganized person, and I’m not sure if I could really stick to any treatment regimen.”
Without telling me anything about it, he had gone back to watch the video again and try out the techniques.
To my astonishment, he had cleared up almost all of his acne after only five weeks.
We played video games online together like there was no tomorrow, but we did hang out in person on occasion.
Shawn had just gotten so good about knowing how the light hit his face, which way to turn when he was speaking to someone or when they were looking at him, and how to cover up his acne, that I hadn’t even noticed any improvement.
Then one day, we walked out of the movie theater after seeing a matinee show.
He couldn’t hide his face from the natural sun light, and then I noticed the dramatic improvement in his skin’s texture and smoothness.
I decided to ask him about it, and he said, “…Yeah, I actually have a before-and-after photo on that website now haha!”.
When we laughed together, I could tell how much better he felt inside – not just how much better his skin looked.
“…Yeah, I actually have a before-and-after photo on that website now haha!”
If you found my personal blog about my experience with acne because you are just like us, I just want to say that I admire you for being proactive.
I’m a big fan of people who just go out and do things to change either the world or just their own lives.
Hopefully you are able to solve your acne problem too, but if you are curious about how we did it, I’ll recommend that same cheesy video to you (it’s terrible, I know, but you might learn something too):
Note: If you scroll down on that page, you will actually see my friend Shawn Heiner’s testimonial about his results.
If not here, I hope you can get help with your acne somewhere and learn

Hello Jeroen, there is indeed a need to take acne prevention treatment and how fortunate you were able to share your knowledge and experience with Shawn – my dermatologist advised to experiment with different methods of acne treatment to find what works best, as everyone is different and what works for some may not work for others. A personal recommendation really helps!
