Teens willing to pay $275 to never have had acne

Categories: Teens & tweens, Medical conditions

moneyPimples are no fun, whether you're 13 or 30. Though anyone can be surprised by a blemish (usually just before an important event), teens are much more prone to acne due to their raging hormones, and some teens develop especially severe cases that can even leave scars. Having to navigate the minefield that is the high school social scene is hard enough without the additional challenge of acne, but teens aren't willing to break the bank to avoid it.

A recent survey found teens would pay a median of $275 to have never developed acne, $100 to have their acne disappear, $10 for half their acne to go away, and nothing for clear skin, but with scarring. Parents would pay $250 for their children to have never had acne, $100 for acne to completely to clear up or for 50% clearance, and nothing for acne with scarring.

While $275 is no small amount, for forever perfectly clear skin it just doesn't seem like that much. I'm long past the stage of worrying about pimples, but if someone asked my how much I'd pay to have my 20-year-old body back, I'd pull out my wallet and give them everything I had.
