In adolescence, oily skin can easily become acne-prone with blackheads and spots. The biological cause of this change is an increase in the quantity of sebum (hyperseborrhoea), combined with a change in sebum quality (dysseborrhoea).
Thickened skin, clogged pores, blocked sebum, bacterial growth... a vicious circle sets in and comedones turn into inflamed red spots.
Environment and diet also play a role in acne. Adult women can also suffer from acne.
Remember that acne treatments take time and you need to be patient. Don’t give up too soon. Any acne treatment should be followed for at least 6 weeks before deciding whether or not it works.
