WHY ACNE HAPPENS

Understanding the Causes of Acne

Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, often influenced by bacteria, hormones, genetics, and lifestyle factors.

Topical Acne Treatment

The right acne treatment or combination of treatments is chosen based on a variety of factors, including the type and severity of the acne, as well as the face or body area and characteristics of the skin affected by acne.  Teenagers with acne are treated with different prescriptions that adults with acne.
