How to get rid of acne?

To answer the question how to get rid of acne, we need first to better understand it and its nature.

Acne is a chronic infection of the sebaceous glands and hair follicles. The first cause for the infection is the excessive activity of the sebaceous glands and their blockage. In the teen years, as a result of the increased hormonal activities, the oil glands expand and produce surplus sebum. The sebum, combined with dead skin cells, plug up hair follicles and create a comedone. When part is exposed to the air outside they oxidate and "blackheads" are formed and if the follicle is blocked completely, the sebum is beneath the skin without contact with air outside it results in pimples that are not exposed and look like small fat subcutaneous bumps.

In addition, in the formation of acne are involved a type of bacteria, that cause an inflammatory response seen as redness, swelling and pain. As a result pustules are formed; these are lesions that contain pus. In a severe situation the infections might spread and cause wide areas of infection, obvious and reddened with abscesses. When acne goes untreated there is a scarring of the skin around the wound and this will persist even after acne has passed. 

Using Professional skin care products may improve dramatically one's skin state and provide a solution in acne treatment.

To treat oily and mild acne use products that assist in balancing the complexion, diminish sebum production, prevent the formation of oily sheen and pimples on the skin, and to improve the skin`s texture. For severe acne, acne vulgaris, and therapy of the skin without irritations or complications use retinol - based products. The retinol constricts the sebaceous glands, and thus decreases the sebum production and its rate of secretion. The products act to achieve a complete and total control over the acne, to calm the skin, to disinfect inflammated pores and prevent redness and further inflammations and bestow the complexion with a smooth, uniform texture.
