THE TRUTH ABOUT ACNE

Breakouts: A fact you don't have to live with

No one's big into breakouts. We have yet to see breakout cheerleaders or a breakout fan club. What we are fans of: understanding the facts so you can start clearing up your skin with the solution that's right for you.

It's important to understand that breakouts—even mild ones—are a medical condition. They're brought on by biological factors like genetics and hormones, which can put oil-producing glands in overdrive and cause dead cells and bacteria to build up beneath the skin's surface. In other words, acne breakouts have nothing to do with bad karma or how sweaty you got in gym class.

Once you understand that biology is to blame, you can talk to the people who know biology best: doctors. Call yours and ask about how Epiduo® (adapalene and benzoyl peroxide) Gel 0.1%/2.5% can help you take back control.
