Acne and breakouts
Teenage and adult acne, chest and back breakouts, and preventing marks.
Acne is inflammation of the oil glands and hair follicles. It is very common in teenagers but can also start in adulthood. Early treatment reduces not only the spots but also the scars that may remain later. Acne marks on the chest and back can be thicker and deeper than those on the face.
What treatment includes
- A cleanser, moisturiser and sunscreen that suit your skin
- Retinoids and topical products that reduce inflammation
- Tablets for moderate and severe acne, under medical supervision
- Procedures for marks and scars once active acne has calmed down
What not to do at home
- Squeezing and picking: inflammation goes deeper and leaves marks and scars
- Home remedies such as toothpaste, alcohol, baking soda, lemon or garlic
- Scrubbing several times a day with harsh scrubs
- Stopping treatment on your own as soon as you see results
