How to treat acne skin with glycolic acid products
What is Acne?
A skin condition which involves the hair follicles and sebaceous glands. Acne is characterized by comedones (clogged pores), papules (pimples), pustules (infected pimples) or cysts (large, inflamed pimples) appearing on the face, neck, chest and back.
Although acne is a skin disorder that usually begins during puberty, many adults have a low grade, persistent form of acne. According to a recent poll by the maker of an acne treatment product, over 75% of working women with acne believed the skin disorder influences the types of jobs women get. Nearly as many women believed acne deters job promotions.
Acne is now highly treatable, sometimes preventable and even curable. Although this skin disorder is very common and many individuals outgrow it as they enter adulthood, treatment is necessary to prevent the development of scars. Also the emotional anguish of acne sufferers can be eliminated by improving their skin condition and appearance through treatment. Acne affects 17 million people and is the most common dermatological condition treated by physicians in the United States.
