With a consistent skin care routine whether that's with simple soap and water, or with suggested treatments below, the turnover of skin cells thereby unclogging of pores. Maintaining acne under control involves a consistent skincare routine and, in some cases, hormonal treatments to manage underlying causes such as hormone imbalances, which can exacerbate acne. Our practitioners emphasise the importance of not picking or popping acne spots to avoid scarring and worsening the condition.

At our clinic, we only treat adult acne. So we know the condition and available treatments very well. When looking at how to get rid of adult acne, there isn’t always one single solution. But either AviClear, Obagi or skincare could be the right acne treatment for you. We understand that with a whole host of acne treatments out there, it can be overwhelming. But during your consultation, our London skin specialists will find the perfect fit for you.

Types of Acne and Their Characteristics

- Back Acne: Often a result of high oil production and sweat, back acne can be challenging due to its location, making it harder to treat than facial acne.

- Forehead Acne: This type is commonly linked to excess oil production and the clogging of pores by dead skin cells and hair products.

- Cystic Acne: A severe form of acne that occurs deep within the skin, often resulting in painful, pus-filled cysts. It is commonly caused by hormonal fluctuations and can lead to permanent scarring if not treated properly.

- Acne Rosacea: A chronic skin condition characterised by redness, visible blood vessels, and sometimes acne-like pimples, predominantly affecting the facial area.
