Acne is one of the most common skin conditions. It is one of the main reasons for looking for a dermatologist. Therefore, there are several product ranges for acne-prone oily skin in various brands, because although this condition mainly affects adolescents, it can also be extended into adulthood or even only appear after the age of 30.

To choose the right product, it should be understood the various types of acne.

Hypersborreia, or excessive production of sebum, is when the skin looks shiny and it’s present in various types of acne, becoming oily mainly in the designated T zone (forehead, nose and chin).

Retention acne (blackheads and microchistosomes) occurs when there is a thickening of the skin that makes it difficult to eliminate sebum, forming open (black spots) or closed (white or microchistosome) comedones.

Inflammatory acne is an aggravation of comedones by the presence of the various microorganisms of the skin. The best known is a bacterium called P. acnes. This bacterium is usually associated with an inflammatory process. Therefore, inflammatory pimples appear, called papules (with a reddish appearance) or pustules (with a yellowish appearance).

Mixed acne, or polymorphic, is when the skin simultaneously exhibits comedones and inflammatory lesions (pimples).
