I have acne, which products should I use?

Acne is most often linked to hormonal fluctuation or imbalance. It can also be the result of digestive issues or environmental factors. Spots and blackheads occur when a pore becomes blocked with a combination of excess oil and dead skin cells. Blackheads are pores open to the air, which is why they turn black, and spots form underneath the skin. Spots can become infected. Propionibacterium acnes is a bacteria that exists naturally in the sebaceous glands, but when the pores are plugged, its presence may become problematic and inflammation results. If these spots are squeezed or scratched, it can spread infection and also lead to scarring.

Please read our Skin Concerns section for more information about skin care products for acne.
