Acne

Acne is common in teenagers because of the normal hormonal changes occuring at that age. Contrary to popular belief it is not made worse by greasy hair, facial hair or eating chocolate. It is not infectious and cannot be cured by keeping the skin excessively clean. Some people even get acne well into their 20s and 30s.

Try not to pick or squeeze pimples as it can make the inflammation worse and cause scarring. Instead, use a proven acne treatment such as Benzac AC 5% that absorbs excess oil, kills bacteria and does not excessively dry skin. It offers the convenience and flexibility of multiple strengths.

It is fragrance-free and non-comedogenic, making it an excellent choice for daily facial cleansing especially with acne treatments that can be drying to the skin.
