Acne affects millions of people worldwide. It shows up as pimples, blackheads and whiteheads on the face, neck, chest and back, and can be caused by many factors — including genetics, hormones, diet and stress. It isn’t life-threatening, but it can have a real impact on self-esteem and quality of life. We understand the emotional toll acne can take, and we’re here to help.
Acne forms when hair follicles become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, leading to pimples, blackheads and whiteheads. While it’s most often linked to teenagers, it can affect people of all ages — adult acne is increasingly common, with many women experiencing breakouts well into their 30s and 40s.
