Introduction

Acne is a common problem that a lot of people share. Statistics have shown that round 85% of people have experienced acne during the ages of 12 to 25, therefore you should not feel alone in your struggle for blemish-free skin. It is not only teenagers who have the problem of acne, but also adults.

There are many different types of acne, but the one that the articles will be focusing on has a medical term called acne vulgaris, which also means common acne. True to its name, it is the most common type of acne that people suffer from.

If you have found yourself in awe of the perfect skin which you see on silver screens or in various publications, you will be shocked to find out that some celebrities actually suffer from acne as well. For example, Keira Knightley has admitted that she has “awful” skin.

While her complexion may have looked flawless on the screen, it was created with a combination of makeup, airbrushing and the efforts of her dermatologist. While covering up your acne with makeup is not a long-term solution, you can follow what Keira Knightley did and book an appointment with a dermatologist to have your acne treated.

Along with that, comes the dread of every young person growing into adolescence acne. It’s not just something that budding young people experience though – even grownups still struggle with this, often resorting to popping them on the fly or resorting to wearing loads of makeup to cover up those unsightly bumps on the face.

What causes acne? 

First of all, acne is a disorder that occurs in the pilosebaceous unit, comprising of the sebaceous 

gland, hair follicle and a hair. The most number of units can be found on the human face, producing a gland called sebum which is responsible for keeping your skin and hair properly moisturized. However, a bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, found residing under your skin uses sebum as nutrient.

Those who have an abundance of these bacteria are people who suffer from this skin disorder the most, with the white blood cells producing an enzyme which breaks down the wall of the hair follicle, allowing its contents to enter the outer layer of your skin, called the dermis.
