What Is Acne?

Acne is a common inflammatory skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, often leading to blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, and deeper inflammatory lesions.

Targets: blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, pustules, and cystic acne
Common causes: excess sebum, clogged pores, inflammation, hormones, and genetic factors
Key approach: identify acne type + control inflammation + prevent new breakouts
