Common Skin Concern
Acne
Acne is a common skin condition that develops when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. It most often appears on areas rich in oil glands — such as the face, chest, back, and shoulders — and can range from mild breakouts to more persistent inflammation.
We offer a range of targeted treatments and customised packages designed to clear active acne, reduce inflammation, and prevent future breakouts — helping you regain confidence and achieve the healthy, glowing skin you deserve.

Acne
Acne occurs when hair follicles become blocked with oil, dead skin, and bacteria. It often appears on the face, chest, back, and shoulders, ranging from mild breakouts to stubborn inflammation.
Our targeted treatments help clear active acne, reduce redness, and prevent future breakouts — restoring smoother, clearer, more confident skin.
What Causes Acne?
Acne is primarily caused by a combination of factors that lead to blocked hair follicles and inflammation. These include excess oil production, abnormal skin cell shedding, poor diet, bacterial growth, hormonal changes such as stress, pregnancy, or menstrual cycles, genetic predisposition, and environmental factors like humidity or sweating. Certain medications can also trigger acne flare-ups.
The causes and severity of acne vary from person to person, so identifying the specific factors behind each case is essential for effective treatment.
What Causes Acne?

Because everyone’s skin is different, identifying what’s triggering your acne is key to finding the most effective treatment.
The Signs of Acne
The Signs of Acne
Blackheads
Small dark spots that form when pores become clogged with oil and dead skin. The contents oxidise on contact with air, creating their black appearance.
Whiteheads

Pulstules & Cysts
Large, painful lumps beneath the skin caused by severe acne. They form when deeper blockages or ruptures lead to inflammation and infection under the surface.
