What is Acne?
Acne is also known as pimples, breakouts, blemishes and zits. It is a very common skin condition affecting more than 90% of all teenagers, nearly 50% of all adult women and 25% of all adults. Both males and females of all nationalities are affected by acne, making it one of the most widespread conditions in the world.

From the moment we are born, our skin begins a lifelong process of shedding dead cells and producing oil. This shedding process is affected by our hormone balance, which fluctuates throughout our life. Clogged pores andpimples (i.e. acne) arise when these natural processes are disrupted by a range of factors.

All acne begins with one basic lesion: the Comedo, an enlarged hair follicle plugged with oil, dead skin cells and bacteria.The Comedo is invisible to the naked eye as it lies beneath the surface of your skin waiting for the right conditions to grow into an inflamed blister.

As the skin produces more oil, bacteria flourish within the Comedo. The surrounding skin becomes increasingly inflamed as white blood cells fight against the intruding bacteria. The result is a pimple.
 
How Pimples Happen
 
The life of a pimple begins around 2-3 weeks before it appears on the surface of the skin. It starts in your sebaceous hair follicles, or pores.
• Deep within each pore, your sebaceous glands work to produce sebum, the oil that keeps your skin moist and supple.
• As your skin renews itself, old skin cells die and shed. Normally, these cells shed gradually, making room for fresh new skin cells. But if cells are shed unevenly, they clump together with the skin's natural oil to form a plug within the pore - like a cork in a bottle.
• This plug, or comedo, traps oil and bacteria inside the follicle and begins to swell as your skin continues its normal oil production process.
• That's when your body's immune system kicks in, producing white blood cells to attack the bacteria - the end result is a pimple.
