ACNE-PRONE SKIN

Blemish-prone skin is skin that has a potential to develop pimples. It is often oily and appears shiny. This is because the sebaceous glands produce more sebum than in other skin types.

AHAs (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) may also reduce the size of enlarged pores, which are commonly seen in acne-prone skin. Skin cell turnover from exfoliating glycolic and lactic acids can even reduce acne scars. Some acne products also contain other AHAs, such as citric and malic acids, to help soothe inflamed skin.
