Root Causes of Acne

What is important to understand with acne treatment is that acne is a symptom or overall hormones in the skin. Acne is actually created as a byproduct of excess oils created in response to over-stimulation of the follicle. This over-stimulation by DHT causes the follicle to produce excess oil, which becomes trapped in the pore and then attracts foreign debris and bacteria. This pore then becomes infected and the results acne prevails.

The most effective acne treatments attack the root cause of acne instead of simply working with the end symptoms. These types of treatments are anti-DHT acne treatments.
