Skin
Active acne
Breakouts, blackheads and painful spots on the face, chest or back.
Understanding it
What causes active acne?
Acne starts when pores clog with oil and dead skin and bacteria trigger inflammation. It can appear at any age, not just in the teens.
Treating it early also prevents the marks and scars that are harder to fix later.
Common causes
- Hormonal changes
- Excess oil production
- Clogged pores
- Stress and poor sleep
- Some products and medicines
