What is Acne?

Acne vulgaris is a skin condition that affects just about everybody at one time or another. Although it is most common in teenagers, it can also affect adults.

It is caused when your skin produces an excess of sebum (skin oil) and together with dead skin cells, clog up your pores and become infected by bacteria.

The resulting red "bumps", black heads or whiteheads appear on the face, back and chest. At best they are unsightly and at worst they can become painful.
