Acne
Clear active breakouts, calm painful inflammation, and prevent long-term marks with doctor-led care.
Concerns are simply starting points for conversation. This page is designed to inform, not to diagnose. Every individual presentation is unique.
Understanding Acne & Why Breakouts Happen.
Acne happens when oil (sebum) produced by your skin mixes with shed dead skin cells and blocks your pores. When a pore is blocked, normal skin bacteria get trapped inside, multiply, and cause redness, swelling, and pimples.
At 22 Luna, we look beyond the surface. Breakouts are often linked to hormonal changes, stress, skincare product buildup, or a damaged skin barrier from harsh scrubbing. Rather than drying out your skin with aggressive products, our medical team focuses on clearing congestion, soothing active redness, and preventing scarring while keeping your skin balanced and healthy.
Acne affects more than 80% of teenagers and up to 40% of adults, especially women dealing with hormonal shifts.
Signs you may notice.
What people often experience when navigating this concern.
Possible causes.
Concerns typically stem from a combination of internal and external factors.
Clogged Pores
Dead skin cells do not shed properly and stick together inside pore openings, trapping oil.
Excess Oil Production
Hormonal fluctuations signal oil glands to produce more oil than your skin naturally needs.
Acne Bacteria & Swelling
Trapped bacteria grow quickly inside blocked pores, triggering redness, tenderness, and inflammation.
Over-Exfoliating & Harsh Skincare
Using too many scrubs or stripping cleansers damages the skin barrier, making breakouts worse.
