Acne-prone skin is a chronic inflammatory condition that affects the pilosebaceous follicles, commonly showing up on the face, chest, and back. This skin type is complex and results from dysseborrhea1, which means the composition of sebum (the skin’s natural oil) becomes imbalanced.


Common issues associated with acne-prone skin include:
a. Acne lesions
b. Inflammation and acne, which can occue in two ways:
- Inflammation leading to the formation of spots and pimples
- Inflammation due to skin irritation 
c. Dehydration


1Dysseborrhea is an imbalance of sebum composition and the starting point for acne. It disrupts the skin’s barrier function.

Contrary to common belief, acne-prone skin can actually be dehydrated due to changes in the skin barrier. This type of skin may be sensitive and easily weakened, often becoming dehydrated as a result of potent acne treatments, whether they’re cosmetics or medications.

The more acne products someone uses, the more likely they are to describe their skin as sensitive, fragile, or intolerant. This can lead to symptoms such as dryness, irritation, shine, and the presence of spots or blemishes.
