Acne is the most common of all dermatological diseases and affects approximately 80% of the population at some point in our lives. It is characterised by the presence of pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, and, in some cases, deeper cysts or nodules.
While many of those affected are able to control their acne with over-the-counter (non-prescription) treatments, for some (around 40%) whose acne is more advanced, help from a professional is required.
