Acne

Personalized acne care can reduce active breakouts, improve texture, and help protect skin from future scarring.

What is Acne?

Acne develops when oil and dead skin cells clog follicles, allowing inflammation and bacteria to create blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, pustules, or deeper cysts. Breakouts may affect the face, chest, back, shoulders, and other oil-producing areas.

Common Signs and Concerns

  • Blackheads and whiteheads

  • Inflamed pimples or pustules

  • Tender nodules or cysts

  • Post-acne marks or scarring
