Acne is a hormonal condition. Your pores connect to oil glands underneath the skin, causing theses glands to make an oily substance called sebum. Most people with acne are aged between 12 and 26 but some older and younger people are affected. Acne can affect the face, back, neck and chest. The severity can range from mild to severe. Fluctuating hormone levels may contribute to acne at different stages of life.

Management
Medication is usually the most recommended treatment prescribed by a doctor or pharmacist. However a good skin care routine, prescribed specifically for your individual needs, can significantly improve your skin and reduce the symptoms without the need for medication.
Skin Peels together with Light Therapy is a highly effective way of helping to control the sebum in your skin and reduce redness. The combination is a great way of controlling future breakouts. We have a proven track record of treating acne at CHEEK by complementing a glycolic, lactic or salicylic peel with blue light therapy.
