understanding acne: causes, types & how to treat it effectively

understanding acne: causes, types & how to treat it effectively

acne affects millions and comes with more than just surface-level symptoms. it can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, nodules, papules, pustules, or cysts & often forms when hair follicles become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells & bacteria. this blockage causes inflammation & leads to breakouts that can range from mild to severe. while acne can happen at any age, it is often linked to hormones, genetics & lifestyle factors like stress & diet, which can all influence its severity & persistence.

 

for effective acne management, it’s essential to understand which ingredients can help at each stage. benzoyl peroxide is known for its antibacterial properties that help to reduce inflammation, while salicylic acid deeply exfoliates within pores, helping to keep them clear. glycolic acid is another potent ingredient, working on the skin’s surface to smooth texture & minimize post-acne scars. retinoids, renowned for their cell turnover benefits, are key in reducing the risk of new acne formation & fading blemishes over time. these ingredients, included in Dermal Essentials acne products, address multiple acne triggers & help you achieve clearer, healthier-looking skin.
