It is a common myth that acne only affects teenagers. Acne can affect anyone at any time. A well-documented cause of acne is the formation of a “micro comedo” or a tiny blocked pore. Using clinically effective products such as Differin Gel is the first step in treating acne. In addition, it is important to maintain your skin barrier with gentle and hydrating ingredients like ceramides and allantoin- both found in Differin’s Restorative Night Moisturizer.

Breakouts
Acne is caused by the overproduction of skin cells leading to an increase of oil causing redness and inflammation that can appear as blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, cysts, and nodules.
Dark spots
Dark spots are caused by an increase in your skin's pigmentation, called melanin. Popping or picking at acne causes inflammation that can result in hyperpigmentation. This can appear as flat oval-shaped areas of darkened skin.
Post-Acne Scarring
Acne scarring is caused by the collagen produced to heal acne and may look like shallow indentations or lesions.
