A new iPhone application has been developed which its creator says can cure acne.

Skin doctor Dr Greg Pearson claims that the revolutionary app can improve people’s skin by shining a special light on to the owner’s face while they chat on the phone, reports The Sun .

The light kills off bacteria and promotes collagen growth, claims the medic.

Dr Pearson said: “This would have to go through a lot more clinical study before I could quantify its efficiency.

“I am fascinated by the concept that users would potentially be able to treat their acne while talking on the phone.”
