Acne is a lot more than a few embarrassing pimples. It's a complicated skin condition that occurs below the surface of your skin, in cycles that start weeks before a breakout actually appears.

Even though 85% of people 12-24 experience at least some form of acne, you can feel like the loneliest (and most unattractive) person in the world if it's happening to you. So how do you even get acne in the first place? Four steps come into play. It starts with clogged pores and ends with a red bump, whitehead, or blackhead that erupts on your skin.

Acne shouldn't be a reason to avoid that selfie opp. Just play “Name That Zit”
to find out what’s going on, so you can pinpoint the problem and take action to banish breakouts.


Cheat Sheet:
There are two main
types of acne

Non-inflammatory, mild to moderate:
whiteheads and blackheads
Inflammatory, moderate to severe:
papules, pustules, nodules and cysts
The main difference between the two is that non-inflammatory acne is not red or painful because
your body hasn't battled the infection yet. Inflammatory acne is red and swollen and may stay put,
which means you might need to consult a professional.
