It's not just "age"... this is how to properly treat acne in teenagers

Acne in adolescence does not appear due to "not washing your face properly".

It is a real skin condition caused by:

• Hormonal changes
• Excess sebum
• Clogged pores
• Bacteria

👉 And most importantly:
it can be controlled if treated correctly

 

1. Correct cleansing (but not aggressive)

What the evidence says

• Washing twice a day is enough
• Over-cleansing worsens acne
  (American Academy of Dermatology)

What to use

✔ Gentle cleansers (pH balanced)
✔ Avoid physical scrubs

👉 Too much cleansing = more compensatory oil

3. Hydration (the most common mistake)

What the evidence says

Dehydrated skin produces MORE oil

What to use

✔ Lightweight moisturizers (gel or lotion)
✔ Ingredients such as:

• Glycerin
• Hyaluronic acid
• Panthenol

👉 Saltarse la hidratación empeora el acné

4. Lo que NO funciona (pero todos hacen)

Evitar

❌ Exfoliar todos los días
❌ Reventar granos
❌ Usar demasiados productos

👉 Esto empeora la inflamación y deja marcas
