What Causes My Acne?
Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria—leading to breakouts such as blackheads, pimples, or cysts. Left untreated, it can also result in redness, scarring, or long-term texture concerns.
Common Triggers: Hormonal changes, stress, diet, pore congestion, and inflammation.
