Acne is one of the most common skin concerns affecting people of all ages—yet it’s often misunderstood and stigmatized. That’s why June, Acne Awareness Month, is the perfect time to shed light on the causes, treatments, and solutions that truly work.
Whether you’re dealing with occasional breakouts or more persistent acne, the right skincare routine—and professional treatments—can make all the difference. We’ve rounded up some of the most effective products from Aveda, Ultraceuticals, and Colorescience, plus skin services that can help you reclaim clear, healthy skin.
What Causes Acne?
Acne forms when pores get clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormones, stress, diet, and genetics can all play a role. But acne isn’t just a teenage issue—adult acne is increasingly common, especially in women.
