Acne is multifactorial and is triggered by many factors including hormonal changes, skin hygiene, environmental pollutants, diet , use of cosmetics etc ..it even has a connection to your mental health.
Oil secretion can be controlled by the use of exfoliating and anti-comedogenic face wash and serums.

Acne is a common problem of young age, as age progresses the recurrences also come down, till such time it has to be treated whenever there's a recurrence in order to prevent scarring and pigmentation. Avoid using over the counter creams and cosmetic products.
Next Steps
