THE ACNE PROBLEM

Acne is a disorder of the skin's sebaceous glands that results in plugged pores and outbreaks of lesions. It is one of the most common skin diseases. Over 80% of the population aged 14-30 will suffer from acne regardless of gender, geography or skin type, and 25% of these will have permanent scars.

Though commonly considered as a teenager problem and usually beginning in adolescence, 20% of all adults suffer from varying degrees of active acne. For some it is annoying, but for many others acne is a significant problem that has a high impact on their lifestyle and quality of life.
