A product site, but with simple quick acne information.

A good site for teenagers with information and links.

Good information on this site but it is relatively difficult to navigate.

This site provides easy to access “how to” information as well as links to research, medical advice and message boards.

Another page within a site, but still complete.  There is no navigating, links or other click-access areas, everything you need is on one page.  Because of this, it is somewhat long, but the content is excellent.  The language is again simple, as the site is directed at kids, and while it may take awhile to read everything, it is worth it.  The titles of different topics are also easy to spot, so skipping to any area you want is simple.  While this site doesn’t have any interactive tools, the quality of the information can’t be beat! 

This site offers a complete guide, includes social impact, myths, definitions and treatments related to acne.

Another product site with celebrity influence and stories.

A general website providing answers to all sorts of questions.

A site directed at teenagers, and the problem of acne.  The language is very easy to understand, and making your way around the site is quick and easy.  It is a section of a larger site, so the overall content isn’;t overwhelming.  There is information, advice, guidance and even discussion boards about acne, making the site an interactive one. 

A wonderful and complete website.  AcneNet is directed at teens, and has a number of resources, links and information.  The site is complete, and well-laid out, and easy to navigate.  The language is also very simple.  AcneNet has a few interactive features and discussion boards, but it’s real strength is all the links, resources, and depth of information.  No question about acne goes unanswered at AcneNet!
