Understanding Acne


Acne is caused by increased cell turnover, bacteria and overproduction of sebum.

But what’s the difference between young and adult breakouts?

Speak to your therapist today and see how we can help you.

Young Acne


  • Is caused by growth hormones sending oil production into overdrive.
  • Is not caused by greasy food and chocolate.
  • Can be made worse by harsh stripping products.
  • Often runs in families.

Skin care priority
Treat breakouts while creating an environmental shield against make- up, pollution and UV.

Dermalogica and Environ have a full range of acne-fighting products.

Adult Acne


  • Is often caused by stress and hormonal changes.
  • Affects up to 50% of the population.
  • Is exacerbated by the additional challenges of premature ageing, pigmentation, sow healing and sensitivity
  • Can affect even very dry skins.

Skin care priority
Use a product specifically designed to treat breakouts while also treating signs of ageing.
