Acne is a skin condition that may cause pimples, whiteheads and blackheads on the skin or acne cysts and nodules under the skin. Acne occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged and can be triggered by many factors including diet, stress, hormonal changes and medications.

There are many treatments available for acne. Some over-the-counter options include mild cleansers, lotions and spot treatments.
Some prescribed medications include tretinoin (for acne & anti-wrinkle), benzoyl peroxide (for acne), topical clindamycin (for acne), birth control (for hormonal acne) and hydroquinone (for dark spots).

What are wrinkles?
Wrinkles are lines and creases in the skin caused by a variety of factors including aging, sun exposure, pollutants and smoking.
Wrinkles are likely to form on skin that’s often exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, hands and forearms. They can become deep and may be especially noticeable around the eyes, mouth and neck.
What causes wrinkles?
Wrinkles are a natural progression of aging. They occur when the skin loses its elastic fibers and collagen production begins to slow. However, they can appear sooner or deeper due to UV radiation from the sun or tanning beds, smoking exposure, air pollutants and genetic factors.
How can I help prevent wrinkles?
You may be able to slow the appearance of wrinkles by wearing sunscreen every day, washing and moisturizing your face daily, not smoking and eating a healthy diet.
