About AcnErase
Created by Martin Hamer — retired registered nurse and independent researcher — AcnErase is built on over 23 years of personal research into the role of Neu5Gc (a molecule found in red meat and dairy) in inflammatory skin conditions. It gives you a scanner and ingredient database to make better-informed choices for your skin.
The app is free, with no ads and no data collection — just a practical tool to help you take control of your skin.
How It Works
Simply scan a food or beverage label. AcnErase highlights known acne-related triggers, including hidden dairy and gluten-based ingredients, and flags Neu5Gc-containing compounds by name. No account required. No internet connection needed while scanning.
Privacy First
AcnErase collects no personal data and shares nothing with third parties. The app operates entirely offline once installed.
The Purging Diet & Transition Period
For maximum effect, you must stop consuming all known acne-triggering ingredients — not just reduce them. Neu5Gc persists in the bloodstream for some time after you stop eating red meat and dairy, so lesions may continue for a week or two during the transition.
Many users also report changes in their sense of smell during this period — foods that once seemed appealing can become unattractive. This may reflect the body recalibrating its response to antigenic dietary compounds.
Trust the process. Stick with it.
Download AcnErase
AcnErase is currently available as a direct Android download (APK). Google Play listing coming soon. An iOS version is in development.
Note: You may need to enable "Install from unknown sources" in your Android settings to install the APK. This is standard for apps distributed outside the Play Store.
The Science Behind AcnErase
The full research framework — the Sialic-Glycan Inflammatory Cascade (SGIC) hypothesis — is documented in the Hamer Glycan Systems white paper series.
About the Developer
Martin Hamer spent 45 years as a registered nurse across Canada and the United States, including postings at the Texas Heart Institute and Vancouver General Hospital. He developed the Neu5Gc/xenosialitis hypothesis through 23 years of self-observation and built AcnErase himself in Flutter — at age 70, with no prior coding background.
