Acne-Prone Skin

Acne is a common skin condition that typically occurs on the face, back and chest. It is caused by an excess of sebum, a natural oil produced by the skin to keep it moisturised and prevent dehydration. An overproduction of sebum can lead to acne-prone skin, with blackheads, whiteheads, spots and blemishes. Acne-prone skin doesn’t just affect teenagers, it can affect anyone, ranging from infants to older adults. Acne-prone skin can be the result of genetics, environmental factors, medication, and hormonal fluctuations. The impact of acne-prone skin can sometimes go beyond physical symptoms as it may affect an individual's appearance, confidence and self-esteem.

Many people with acne-prone skin struggle to find suitable products that do not cause further outbreaks of acne. Sebamed has focused on a dermatologically tested and clinically proven multi-step programme to address this specific issue by offering a variety of products. This programme offers effective control of blackheads and spots by gently cleansing the skin deep into the pores, preventing the formation of skin impurities and soothing irritation. At the same time, the pH of 5.5 strengthens the skin barrier and biologically inhibits the growth of bacteria that causes spots.

*Please note that all sebamed products can safely be used if you suffer with acne, however, it is dermatologically recommended to use the products listed below as a supportive therapy for acne to help manage symptoms.
