Treatment for Acne

Acne is a skin condition that plagues women, men, and teens of all ages. A staggering 17 million people in the U.S. have acne, with almost 85% of all people experiencing some form of acne in their lifetime. Three main factors contribute to acne: increased oil production, clogged pores, and a bacteria called P.acnes (Propionibacterium acnes)  Acne Vulgaris is an inflammatory skin disease, which occurs when the oily secretions from the skin’s sebaceous glands plug tiny hair follicles which cause clogged pores.  The clogged skin pores cause bacterial growth which cause pimples, whiteheads, blackheads or the dreaded cystic acne many women have come to dread. Acne is caused by many different factors, ranging from the rapid raise of hormones from puberty, hormonal fluctuations, emotional stress and genetics.
