What Causes Acne?
Acne is a long-term skin condition generally associated with breakouts of whiteheads, pimples & greasy skin and in some severe cases can lead to scarring. Sometimes follicles overproduce skin cells, which then leads to pores becoming blocked. Sebum (oil) which normally drains off the surface of the skin becomes trapped. This creates an environment for bacteria to thrive in. This process causes acne to form.
Whilst acne is a treatable skin condition, not all treatments are as successful as others.
