“I’m a dermatologist with lifelong acne. You can’t completely get rid of acne. Either you have the right mix of increased sebum excretion, sebum lipid alteration, androgen activity, follicular hyperkeratinization, dysregulation of cutaneous steroidogenesis, and growth of Propionibacterium acnes…or you don’t.”
