Why Your Acne Skincare Is Not Working

Root causes beyond surface products — and how to plan properly.

Acne spans ages. Buying more products without a diagnosis often fails — or worsens oil imbalance.

Core drivers

  • Excess sebum (hormones)
  • Clogged follicles
  • C. acnes bacteria
  • Inflammation
  • Genetics
