What our customer say
More about acne
Acne is a common skin condition. It most often affects teenagers, but adults can have acne too. Take a look at our resources below for more information.
Types of acne
Acne is one of the most prevalent skin conditions. It can cause different kinds of spots, as well as oily skin.
Acne in young people
About 95% of young people experience acne at some point. For some people it’s mild. If you have more severe acne, there are treatments available that can help.
Acne in adults
People of any age can get acne. There are a range of different treatments for adults, and lifestyle changes that can help too.
Acne happens when the hair follicles on your skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells.
There are many reasons why this happens. Hormonal changes, stress, makeup and skincare and even our genetics can trigger flare-ups.
Depending on how severe your acne is, the scars it leaves behind can be permanent.
Some scars may be raised. This happens when too much collagen is produced in an affected area.
Other scars are depressed. They look sunken because you have lost tissue in the areas where acne has affected your skin.
This doesn’t happen to everyone. But if you do have permanent acne scars, private, in-clinic procedures like microneedling and chemical peels might help to reduce their appearance.
