Acne reflects reactions occurring in thesebaceous glands, which produce sebum, a lubricating substance. If there is a lack ofsebum, the skin will be dry and prone to chapping. If there is too much, the skin becomesoilierandprone to acne.

This facilitates the proliferation ofbacterianormally present on the skin, particularlyPropionibacterium acnes, which causesinflammation(red pimples). When the blocked follicle expands too much, it causes retention lesions (blackheadsand microcysts). Deeper lesions (cysts) can leavescars.
