everybody has seen the late night and early morning acne infomercials with Jessica Simpson and Sean "Diddy" Combs. I guess they figure, if a celebrity trusts something, then so should you. The promises made for the product sound surreal, and yet for many people it may be just the cure they're looking for. Even so, it may not be for everybody.

celebrities impact the choices children make. By their nature, celebrities enjoy a rare visibility not achieved by many. Many have used that asset to promote awareness and garner support for international diplomacy, raise money for charities and encourage people to adopt healthier habits.
