Acne: One of the Most Common Skin Conditions Worldwide

Acne is one of the most widespread skin concerns, affecting millions of people across the globe regardless of age or gender. It is a chronic inflammatory condition characterized by breakouts, blackheads, cysts, and other imperfections that typically appear on the face, back, and chest.

While acne is more common during adolescence due to hormonal fluctuations, many adults also struggle with persistent breakouts caused by stress, diet, hormonal imbalances, environmental factors, or improper skincare habits.

In this article, we’ll explore:

• The causes and mechanisms behind acne
• The different types of acne and how to recognize them
• How diet influences skin health
• The ideal skincare routine to help you achieve clear, healthy, and balanced skin

What Is Acne and Why Does It Occur?

Acne develops when the skin’s sebaceous glands overproduce sebum, which mixes with dead skin cells and clogs the pores. This creates the perfect environment for the bacterium Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes), leading to inflammation, irritation, and breakouts.

Main Causes of Acne

• Hormonal changes (puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, PCOS)
• Genetic predisposition – if your parents had acne, you’re more likely to develop it
• Excess sebum production and clogged pores
• Bacterial infections causing inflammation and pimples
• High-glycemic and dairy-heavy diets
• Stress – increases cortisol levels, overstimulating sebaceous glands
• Inappropriate skincare products that worsen oiliness and irritation

Types of Acne

Not all acne is the same. The most common types include:

• Blackheads & Whiteheads (Comedones) – clogged pores without inflammation
• Pustular Acne – red pimples filled with pus
• Cystic Acne – deep, painful cysts beneath the skin, often leaving scars
• Hormonal Acne – typically appears around the jawline and chin
• “Maskne” – acne caused by trapped moisture and bacteria under protective face masks

Diet & Acne: Is There a Connection?

Yes—diet can significantly influence acne.

Foods That May Worsen Acne

• Dairy products (milk, cheese, yogurt) – may increase insulin and androgen levels
• High-glycemic foods (white bread, sweets, sodas) – spike inflammation and sebum production
• Fast food & saturated fats – negatively affect gut microbiome and skin health

Foods That Help Reduce Acne

• Omega-3 rich foods (fatty fish, walnuts, flaxseed) – powerful anti-inflammatory action
• Vitamin A & E sources (sweet potatoes, carrots, almonds) – regulate oil production
• Polyphenols & antioxidants (green tea, berries) – reduce inflammation
