Not all acne looks the same
Acne is a spectrum, from whiteheads and blackheads to nodules and cysts. Not sure what type of acne you have? We’re here to help!
Whiteheads
Clogged pores that look like a small white bump because of trapped oil and dead skin cells beneath a thin layer of skin.
Blackheads
Small clogged pores that turn black because the trapped oil and dead skin cells are exposed to the air.
Papules
Tender inflamed bumps with redness and swelling caused by inflammation, usually less than 5mm in size.
Fungal
Small, uniform bumps that tend to spread across a central area—especially on the forehead, jaw, chest, or back.
Cysts
Large, soft, under-the-skin pimples that are filled with pus, go deep under the skins surface, and may feel swollen and tender.
Pustules
“Squeezable” inflamed pimples with a visible central core of pus, usually raised and surrounded by red skin.
Nodules
Large, firm, reddish lumps without pus that extend deeper than a papule and are often painful.

Acne treatment FAQs
Breakouts tend to have multiple causes, including environmental factors, hormones, and pore-clogging ingredients.
