The acne battle is real. It is what’s leaving you frustrated because many products promise to fix the problem, but none of them are working. According to the American Academy of Dermatology (AAD), acne is the eighth most prevalent condition worldwide and the most common skin condition in the US. Moreover, according to the Philippine Dermatological Society which is the only subspecialty society for dermatology in the Philippines, acne is the most common skin condition requiring consultation in the 11 accredited training institutions for the dermatologic specialty in the country. But what causes acne? Acne develops when the pores become clogged. You have battled breakouts, and your acne scars are the proof. Some people are more likely to see scars when their acne clears.
