Acne is one of the most common skin diseases which mainly affects teenagers, with often a negative impact on quality of life and self image. Over the past decade, adult acne and acne relapses have both increased in frequency, for yet unknown reasons.
Acne is among the most common skin diseases, as confirmed by the “Objectifs Peau” study, recently published by the French Society of Dermatology.

Acne has long been considered a disease that mainly affects adolescents, though it may persist into adulthood, with a 60% prevalence of acne reported in women aged 20 to 29 years versus 26% in those aged 40 to 49 years.
