Active acne can appear at any stage of life and often reflects more than what’s happening on the surface of the skin. With a balanced, personalized approach, breakouts can be managed while supporting overall skin health.
Active acne refers to inflamed or congested blemishes such as pimples, pustules, or cysts that are currently present on the skin. These breakouts can vary in severity and may appear intermittently or persist over time.
Acne doesn’t look the same for everyone, and its pattern, location, and frequency often provide insight into underlying triggers.
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal fluctuations, stress, genetics, and certain lifestyle factors can all influence oil production and inflammation.
Because acne is often multifactorial, effective management usually requires addressing both visible breakouts and the conditions that contribute to them.
