pre-pubescents form the larger group of acne suffers with pre-menopausal women coming in
a close second. The reason behind this is hormones. Hormone changes and imbalance can
cause a higher production from the sebaceous glands, making our skin much more oily.

find that a combined oral contraceptive may help with their breakouts. Speak to your doctor
for further information.
