Acne prone skin refers to skin that is more likely to experience a frequent acne breakout due to its tendency to react to internal and external triggers. 

People with acne prone skin often have oily skin, which produces excess sebum (oil) that clogs pores. If your skin often looks shiny, feels greasy throughout the day, or is prone to clogged pores, you may have oily skin — a common characteristic of acne prone skin. 

However, not all acne prone skin is oily. Other triggers, such as hormonal changes, stress, and the presence of P. acnes bacteria, can also lead to breakouts. Treating acne prone skin requires a combination of targeted skin treatments that control oil, reduce bacterial growth, and prevent clogged pores 

If you’re unsure of your skin type, our clinical team can assess your skin and recommend tailored treatments to target both oil production and the root causes of acne.

Yes, but it depends. The right skin care products can work to unclog pores and reduce oil production.

However, whilst store-bought products can sometimes helpful for mild acne, more persistent conditions like moderate acne or severe cystic acne often require prescription-strength topical treatments or oral medications like Isotretinoin. 

Our team can help you determine which skincare products are right for your unique skin type.

Hormonal acne is a common skin condition caused by fluctuations in hormone levels, particularly androgens like testosterone. 

These hormonal changes increase oil (sebum) production, which can clog pores and trigger breakouts. This skin condition often appears during puberty, but it can also affect adults due to hormonal shifts related to menstruation, pregnancy, menopause, or stress. 

Hormonal acne typically shows up as deep, painful pimple / pimples, cysts, and nodules, often concentrated around the chin, jawline, and lower face. Managing hormonal acne often requires a combination of lifestyle changes and targeted treatments to balance hormone levels and reduce excess oil production.

While pimples are a type of acne, they are not exactly the same thing.

Acne is a broader skin condition that includes various types of blemishes, such as whiteheads, blackheads, papules, pustules, nodules, and cysts.

A pimple is a specific type of acne lesion that occurs when skin pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.

This clog triggers an immune response, causing redness, swelling, and the formation of a raised bump.

Pimples are one of the most common forms of acne and can appear as part of mild, moderate, or severe acne breakouts.
