About Acne

Acne is a skin disorder that occurs when excess oil (sebum) production combined with dead skin cells clog pores. Bacteria forms in the pores resulting in red inflamed pimples, pus filled whiteheads, or blackheads. Acne vulgaris is the most common form. It’s estimated that 80% of teens have some form of acne at one point or another. While other people have unaffected skin during their teen years, but eventually develop acne later in their adulthood.
