If you scroll through the skincare section of most beauty websites, you’ll find dozens of products and articles advertising ways to “get rid of”
your “horrible” and “unwanted” acne.

The cause can be rooted in hormones, medications, or even genetics.

Even though acne can be painful and unrelenting for some, it isn’t something to be ashamed of, and doesn’t make anyone less beautiful.
