Hi ,
Your skin deserves more than random products and advice from social media. Here are two skincare updates worth knowing, plus a helpful guide for parents.
1. Acne remains a growing global concern
Research published in JAMA Dermatology on October 14 examined global acne trends from 1990 to 2023. Researchers reported increases in acne incidence and prevalence, with further increases projected by 2050.
Acne can affect confidence, emotional wellbeing and quality of life. If breakouts persist, become painful or leave dark marks and scars, professional assessment can help you find suitable treatment.
2. What's really inside your skincare products?
A recent report highlighted a study that found undeclared medicinal ingredients in six of 18 selected over-the-counter skin products sold online. Some contained clobetasol, a potent prescription corticosteroid.
Although this was a small, targeted study, it reminds us to be careful.
Buy from reputable sources, check product labels and avoid products promising dramatic results within days without clear ingredient information.
3. New on our blog: Teenage acne treatment
Teenage acne is common, but persistent breakouts, painful spots, dark marks and scarring may require professional attention.
Our new article explains when parents should consider seeking help for their teenagers.
