There are many types of acne, from mild to severe and from babies to adults, acne does not discriminate

With the many types of acne, where does one begin? Well, right here. Did you know that acne is the most common of skin diseases? Yep. People of all ages and races are effected by acne. But it is most common in teenagers and young adults.

An estimated 80 percent of all people between pre-teen and 30 have acne outbreaks at some point. Some people well into their forties and fifties still continue to breakout!

Mild Acne

• whiteheads
• blackheads

Moderate Acne

• papules
• pustules

Severe Acne

• The two severe types of acne include nodules and cystic acne.

Still not sure which acne you have? It's important to know what type of acne you are dealing with. Knowledge is power. Take a look at the video below to see what type of acne you have.

Severe acne requires a visit to your dermatologist for prescription oral acne medication and prescription treatment medication.
