Could inflammation be fuelling your acne?
When acne flares, it is easy to focus on the breakout you can see. But beneath the surface, inflammation may also keep that acne active.
Excess oil, blocked pores, bacteria and irritation can all contribute to inflammatory activity in the skin. As inflammation increases, breakouts may become redder, more swollen and more persistent, while the risk of post-acne marks and scarring may also increase.
That is why managing acne isn't simply about drying out a pimple. At Skin Renewal, we look at the broader picture and build a doctor-led plan that may include reducing congestion, calming inflammation, supporting the skin barrier and treating the marks acne can leave behind.
