teenagers at some point in their lives. Clogged pores comprise more than 25% of all visits to the dermatologist.

What is Acne?

Acne is an inherited disorder of the pore. It starts at puberty when the oil glands start maturing. A normal pore sheds about 1 layer of dead skin cells a day. But someone with this disorder can shed up to 5 layers a day. All those dead skin cells combined with oil form a plug in the pore. This is how all acne starts. This is called “retention hyperkeratosis”. It forms congestion under the skin which are noninflamed acne lesions, such as blackheads and/or whiteheads. If bacteria is present, inflamed pimples, pustules and/or cysts will form.
