Brilio.net - Acne is a skin problem that is often faced by many people, especially during adolescence. Acne generally appears when skin pores are blocked by a mixture of sebum and dirt that sticks to the skin, such as pollution, dust, and dead skin cells. These compounds then react with dirty bacteria on the skin, resulting in inflammation and the appearance of skin lumps known as acne.
Acne itself can vary from mild to severe. Blackheads are a form of mild acne that often appears on the face. Apart from that, there are also many people who are susceptible to severe types of acne in the form of cystic acne (cystic acne). Different from blackheads, this type of severe acne usually appears in the form of large red bumps and often causes pain and inflammation. Moreover, acne like this can also leave scars that are difficult to remove.
To overcome skin problems, of course the main key is using the right skincare. Well, one of the skincare variants that is currently popular is skincare released by a brand from South Korea.
