Acne can affect your skin and your confidence at any age. Effective treatment starts with a clear diagnosis, an understanding of your skin’s needs, and a plan that’s tailored to your specific type of acne.
What Causes Acne?
Whether you’re getting acne as a teenager or as an adult, and regardless of how it appears, the cause is the same. Acne occurs when hair follicles get blocked, resulting in clogged pores. Bacteria living on the skin can get inside these pores, which creates inflammation resulting in red and swollen pimples.
Acne can be triggered by an excess of oil and dead skin cells resulting from changes in your hormone levels, products used on the skin, and many other factors.
