Acne is a chronic (!) inflammatory disease of the sebaceous gland that occurs as a result of polyetiological changes in skin structures. It is accompanied by papules, pustules and inflammatory elements located on the face, back, chest (seborrheic zones).

According to statistics, about 9.4% of the entire population of the planet is faced with acne. Often this problem is called a teenage problem, but, unfortunately, teenagers are not the only group at risk. Acne affects about 40% of adults, and this rate continues to rise among both men and women.
