Not exactly: Most people do not understand that acne comes from inflamed oil glands as well as hormonal flares, lack of sleep, and stress. It is also genetic. Since it is a life long battle you have to battle it with prescriptions, laser care, cleansers, and if your skin gets dried out ; oil free moisturizers can help you look your best. Also hydrate by drinking lots of water.
