The HDTV had done wonders for the viewing public. With its crisp high-resolution images, there's nothing in the actors or actresses' face or body that can be hidden away from the camera's prying lenses. Sooner or later, make-ups can no longer hide what a star's got to hide. He or she might have to rely to the powers of digital effects instead.



Take for example the acne case of Cameron Diaz. Cameron is a cute and bubbly actress. From a far, she seemed like a goddess in distress. But despite her acting prowess and her allure on TV, she has this one major problem she's suffering from since she was a teenager – acnes. And her problems aren't just pimples. She had a lot of acne scars in her face too. But you wouldn't have known about that - not with your analog TV at least. Cameron is still the goddess that you think she is – until you finally switched to HDTV. Now, you can see Cameron's not-so-perfect face up close. And it doesn't get better when Hollywood gossip columnists put the spotlight on her unaware and with absolutely no makeup on.

Even so, people don't think less of Cameron Diaz. She is still one of the prettiest women in Hollywood, perhaps the whole world over. Not even if she encounters acne breakouts every now and then. You see, even the rich and famous is not invincible to the powers of acnes. Acnes or no acnes, Cameron Diaz will be remembered as an Elite model and a successful Hollywood superstar. She starred in films like The Mask, My Best Friend's Wedding, There's Something About Mary, Charlie's Angels and just recently, What Happens in Vegas with Ashton Kutcher. Cameron also voiced for Princess Fiona in the animated film series Shrek. Of all of Cameron's movie accomplishments, she was noted to love her role as Fiona's voice. She said that she's most comfortable doing this project because she doesn't have to be at the limelight at all. Therefore, she doesn't have to worry about her skin when she's having breakouts – especially not now that there's HDTV's around.

Cameron's struggles with acne are a little comforting to all people who are suffering from the same case. Misery does love company. And if the subject of misery is somebody as famous as Cameron Diaz, things get a little brighter for some. But then again, the facts remain. Adult acne can be very frustrating. When you were a teen, you hope that your acne will go away at 20. But if you're 20 and you still have it, high are the chances that acnes are going to stick with you for the rest of your life.

Statistics show that 25% of adult men are suffering from acne problems while 50% of the entire adult women's population has it. To cure acne at the later stages of your life, there's no way to go about it but to go to a dermatologist for help. It's a good thing that there are lots of medicines that can help heal acne and lessen scarring. Such drugs are as follows:
