Understanding and treating acne
Acne, a very common skin problem
Acne is a very common skin condition, especially among adolescents. It is estimated that approximately 90% of young people have acne, in a more or less marked form, at the time of puberty.
In some people, acne gradually goes away with age. In others, it may persist into adulthood, especially in women due to hormonal factors.
Beyond its visible manifestations on the skin, acne can have a significant impact on the quality of life. Imperfections can alter self-image and sometimes impact mood, confidence, or social relationships.
The duration and intensity of acne varies greatly from person to person. They depend in particular on genetic, hormonal and skin type factors.
