The four main causes of acne are overproduction of sebum, clogged hair follicles, bacterial growth and hormonal changes. Topical solutions are the following:
- Benzoylperoxide: reduces bacteria and dries excess oil
- Salicylic acid: helps exfoliate the skin and unclog pores
- Alpha hydroxy acids such as glycolic acid and lactic acid, which help remove dead skin cells and promote cell turnover
- Topical medications: retinoids or antibiotics
