If you feel bummed every time you have an acne breakout because nothing seems to keep the pimples at bay, you’re not alone. In fact, 15% of women are estimated to have experienced the condition.

This can also be accompanied by inflammation, caused by C.acnes bacteria, resulting in pimples and cysts.”
