Kendall Jenner trolled as fans uncover her ‘REAL’ acne treatment: 'As if she actually uses Proactiv!'

Kendall Jenner has been blasted on social media after fans were left unconvinced she uses the acne products she has been promoting.

The supermodel came under fire earlier this week after her “raw and personal” announcement turned out to be an advert for Proactiv acne cream, naming her the face of the skin care brand.

However, things took an even worse turn for the reailty star when fans dug up old interviews in which members of the Kardashian-Jenner family speak about how their go-to dermatologist has helped the model with her skin.

Fans uncovered a 2015 interview in which Jenner’s younger sister Kylie told how the family dermatologist Christie Kidd had “cured” her sister’s acne.

Speaking to The New York Times, she said: "We have a family dermatologist, Christie Kidd in Beverly Hills. My sister Kendall had really bad acne when she was younger, and she really cleared it up. I thought, ‘Well if she cured Kendall, I should start to visit her.’”

Other users claimed Jenner’s sister Khloe Kardashian spoke about her on season one of the show, claiming she told a contestant that she would be getting the “same treatment as Kendall Jenner”, with a dermatologist.

Outraged social media users blasted the star online, with one hitting out: “100% Kendall Jenner, with the Kar-Jenner family dermatologist, never used Proactiv.”

Another commented: “Kendall: spends thousands on fancy dermatologist, frequently has bougie a** facials, lasers, light treatments, has extensive skin care routine with luxury products, drinks 8 gallons of water a day. Also Kendall: Proactiv literally saved my life like omg.”

A third added: “Did you read about the interviews with Kylie from a few years back where she talks about how she went to the family dermatologist after she cleared Kendall’s skin As if Kendall Jenner actually uses Proactiv ha.”

Some social media users also claimed Jenner has already addressed her skin issues prior to the “vulnerable” announcement, as part of the family’s website and app, which has since closed.

On the site, Jenner reportedly said: “I had such bad acne when I was younger, I remember it SO well! I started having skin issues around the 8th or 9th grade.

“I wouldn't even look at people when I talked to them. I felt like such an outcast, when I spoke, it was with my hand covering my face.”

As part of a minute-long advert released earlier this week, Jenner touched on the ridicule she faced following last year’s Golden Globes, where she was trolled over her spots.

Standard Online has reached out to Jenner for comment.
