Acne is a common skin problem which is usually noticeable around the face and neck area of the body, where blemishes occur. These blemishes are caused by a comedo in the skin, which is a large hair follicle overloaded with oil, dead skin cells and bacteria. This comedo nestles under the skin waiting for the ideal conditions to become inflamed. This is where more oil gathers and causes the area to swell, and as the white blood cells come to fight the swelling the comedo becomes inflamed.

Most sufferers of acne can relate it to their hormone levels or genetics, as both these factors could be a reason why the person produces a large amount of oil. Hormone levels can be regulated by different medical solutions prescribed by a doctor or dermatologist, however genetics is a much more difficult task to control. Sometimes a regular two-step daily maintenance system would suffice rather than three, removing the toning aspect. This two step daily system would refer to the need to cleanse and moisturise the skin. Thus preventing the build up of the comedo by reducing excess oil and dirt from the surface.
