Treat Acne & Oily Skin

Acne is a condition that affects the skin’s oil glands. The small holes in the skin’s pores connect to oil glands under the dermis layer of the skin, which produce an oily substance called sebum. The pores are connected to the glands by a canal called a follicle. When the follicle clogs up, it results in the growth of a pimple.
