The Science behind Acne Treatments
Acne breakouts, blemishes and oily skin are the most common skin conditions found in the world, affecting over 50% of adults. Acne can take many different forms such as whiteheads, blackheads, clogged pores, pustules, and cystic acne. No matter how common it is or what condition your skin is in, acne remains difficult to live with as it leads to skin damage, irritation, pain, infections, and can greatly affect our quality of life.
There are many causes to acne such as:
- Family history
- Hormonal fluctuations and changes (puberty, menstrual cycle, pregnancy, etc.)
- Nutrition
- Mental Stress
- Certain medication
When looking for an acne treatment, it is important to understand the four elements at play:
- Abnormal shedding of dead skin cells which clogs up the pores and hair follicle openings
- Increased oily sebum production
- Presence and increase activity of the Propionibacterium acnes (acne bacteria); which feeds of the excess sebum
- Immune chemical reactions causing inflammation, pustules, and skin irritation
