What is Acne?

Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria. It often appears as whiteheads, blackheads, pimples, or deeper cysts. Acne can affect people of all ages but is most common during adolescence and young adulthood.

Acne develops due to a combination of the following factors:

  • Excess oil (sebum) production
  • Blocked pores from dead skin cells
  • Growth of acne-causing bacteria on the skin
  • Inflammation around the clogged pores
  • Hormonal changes can result in breakout increasing oil production

Differin/Adapalene gel
