Acne is formed by a collection of sebum (oil), bacteria and dead cells trapped in the lining of the hair follicle (skin pore). Acne is not purely a teenage predicament, 20 to 40% of the adults in all skin colors do encounter problems with acne. It is not a life threatening disease, however, it causes skin scars and devastates long term psychic trauma such as poor self-image, social inhibition, anxiety and even depression. Acne is difficult to be recovered as it may not be a one factor problem, it could also be caused by many mixed factors.
