Acne Causes
There are two main reasons for acne.
1. Combination of whiteheads and acne bacteria
Our skin produces sebum. If the generated sebum clogs the pores and does not come out, it becomes a whitehead. And if you eat sebum from which P. Acne bacteria has not been released, it will develop into acne.
2. Decreased immunity
If the body’s immunity or skin immunity is lowered, the conditions for P. Acne bacteria to be active are established.
How to treat whiteheads
Whiteheads are caused by clogged pores that prevent sebum from getting out. There are mainly 4 causes of clogged pores:
- Sweat
- Corneous
- Too much sunscreen
- Immature moisturizing
Now that you know why you can manage it easily. Please follow the following routine.
- Use oil control paper twice a day (not film type)
- Skin moisturizing care
- Exfoliation
How to treat acne
If your whiteheads have worsened and you have formed red pimples, try the following care routine:
- Never touch your face with your hands
- Moisturize skin thoroughly with moisture and oil management
- Use sunscreen
- Using oil control blotting paper (not film type)
- Take vitamin C
- Exfoliate with an enzyme type
How to exfoliate acne skin
Mix exfoliation with water. Then, apply it all over the face, leave the acne-prone areas alone, and rub in areas with whiteheads or areas that look clean to the naked eye.
If you have red pimples all over your face, do not rub in the above step, leave it for 30 seconds to 1 minute before washing your face.
The main thing is not to directly irritate the red pimples.

Managing acne scars
Acne needs to be well taken care of even after it has healed. We recommend using a regenerative serum. And use an acne scar treatment such as Noscana Gel.
It is important to note that acne scar treatment should not be used immediately after acne extrusion but should be used after it has healed to some extent.
Acne Management Q&A
1. Can I squeeze acne?
It depends on the type of acne. Manage whiteheads with exfoliation and extrude yellow pus with an extrusion needle and two cotton swabs.
Red pimples should not be extruded directly. We recommend that you let it sink on its own, following the maintenance routine outlined above.
2. Are the causes of acne different for each area?
Yes, it is. The forehead is a place where a lot of whiteheads are produced from sweat and waste products, usually due to bangs. Please use oil control paper regularly.
Thick acne on the nose is caused by stress and lack of sleep. Stress management and adequate sleep are recommended.
Acne on the cheeks is caused by using cosmetics that do not match your skin type or moisturizing care that does not match your skin type.

For women, problems around the mouth may occur. Please take iron due to hormonal influence. Men, on the other hand, may develop folliculitis on the chin. The reason is shaving and weakening immunity, so please disinfect or replace the used razor and take care of your immunity.
3. How about going to the dermatologist?
That’s a good way. However, even if you get antibiotics from your dermatologist, you can always get red pimples again if you don’t take care of them properly.
