Frequently Asked Questions
What causes Acne Vulgaris?
Acne Vulgaris, commonly known as Acne is common amongst puberty because sebaceous glands are continually active during this stage which produces more oil and dead skin cells. This results in break outs, leading to pimples, whiteheads, cysts, and blackheads around the face, chest, shoulders and back.
How can Acne be treated?
A good diet, stress free lifestyle and having a good facial cleaning routine can be a start but not enough to completely combat acne. In most cases prescribed medication is required but for those who are concerned about potential side effects, laser therapy treatments can be a viable option.
How can a dermatologist treat Acne?
If your acne is getting to severe then consulting a dermatologist is recommended, which more then likely will have medication and antibiotics prescribed to you to kill the bacteria from inside. Hormonal therapy may also be a suggestion, which again, can come with side effects.
How does salicylic acid work on Acne?
Most acne focused skin care are formulated with salicylic acid as it is a key ingredient to unclogging pores and preventing lesions. It does not affect the production of oil from your sebum, but it can be used continuously to keep your pores clean and reduce your acne from flaring.
Can moisturisers cause acne?
No, applying moisturiser to your skin does not cause acne, in fact, it is an especially important to treating acne as it loses up the sebum built up inside the pores. In most cases we recommend finding a moisturiser that’s made for acne prone skin, so it does not clog up your pores or aggravate your acne.
Why do women get Acne during their period?
The reason behind the menstrual acne is the hormone progesterone. It causes an increase in the production of sebum from the facial oil. This can cause excess oil and clog the facial pores resulting in pimple breakouts.
