1.Acne adverts are particularly skilled at convincing us that flawless models are riddled with acne.
2.They've pretty much always been this way. Exhibit A is Aaron Paul in 1999, battling a particularly bad case of invisible acne.
3.Exhibit B is a young, spot-free Felicity Jones being absolutely disgusted in her beauty.
4.Remember that one time the flawless Vanessa Hudgens was literally attacked by black heads? But don't worry guys she's fine.
5.This advert had to use a "dramatization" to show us Bella Thorne's acne.
6.This advert couldn't even be bothered to give Olivia Holt spots so just gave here this horrifying mask instead.
7.Acne adverts believe that spots are lone rangers, conveniently placed to look like beauty marks.
8.And they often have to point out the spot to us, because honestly otherwise it's not visible to the naked eye.
9.Sometimes they don't even bother pointing to an invisible zit, but instead place the word "pimples" around the model so we're reassured she is familiar with the struggle at a distance.
10.In this one they just surrounded the model with problems you might have, but she doesn't. Just so you're aware that this is only a problem you have.
11.We all know it's impossible to hire anyone with actual acne, but it is possible to hire an actor to play the role of acne.
12.This guy doesn't need spots, because if you shout it loud enough with a megaphone then everyone will believe you have acne.
13.Although they don't actually show acne, the adverts do make sure to highlight a destructive side effect of it: breaking pencils.
14.And also in the art of face washing without looking ugly.
15.Doesn't everybody wash their faces with a full face of makeup?
16.his is not only impractical but also has the potential to cause a slippery surface.
17.This advert replaced the product with a leaf, because leaves are what we've been missing all along!
18.The worst is when they're really having a hard time squeezing away that ghost pimple.
19.Finally, we have this classic where the model exclaims "oh great a pimple!" and we all worry for her health because there is literally nothing there.
