Despite polls showing that Americans still think acne is caused by not washing your face, or by stress or what you eat, the fact is that acne is caused by 3 major factors: the overproduction of oil by enlarged oil glands in the skin; blockage of the hair follicles that release the oil; and a growth of a certain bacteria within the hair follicles.
Acne can be treated with retinoids, hydroxyl acids, benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics to unblock the pores and reduce bacteria. Some medications are taken as pills, and others are treatments usually applied to the face at night. More aggressive treatment for stubborn acne might include chemical peels or microdermabrasion to unblock pores and stimulate new skin growth, which allows topical medications to penetrate the skin. Laser and light treatments use heat to damage the oil glands and light to target the bacteria.
The American Academy of Dermatology recommends that you work with a medical skin specialist to find a treatment or combination of methods that works for you.
