Acne – Everything you need to know & how to treat acne in less than 4 weeks!
Living with acne is not only a battle against the skin, but often also against the reflection in the mirror, the environment and the self-image. For many, it is about much more than a few pimples. It is about feeling seen – but not for what you want. At Van Roth, we meet people every day who just want to regain control of their skin. Here you will learn what acne really is, why it occurs, how it can affect us psychologically, and above all: how to take back the power with a simple but effective routine.
I have acne - What is acne?
Acne, or acne vulgaris , is an inflammatory skin condition that affects hair follicles and sebaceous glands. It starts when dead skin cells mix with sebum, the skin's natural oil, and clog pores. This creates an environment where the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes thrives, leading to inflammation. The result? Blackheads, whiteheads, and in some cases, painful cysts.
Why do people get acne?
There is no single cause. Acne is rather a combination of several factors:
• Genetics often play a big role. If someone in your family has had acne, your risk increases.
• Hormones – during puberty, menstruation, stress or conditions such as PCOS, hormonal balance can change and drive sebum production.
• Overproduction of sebum can acidify the skin environment and clog pores.
• Lack of exfoliation causes dead skin cells to accumulate and create blockages in the pores.
• Bacterial growth leads to inflammation and noticeable breakouts.
But most importantly: acne is not your fault. It's not because you ate chocolate or washed your face wrong. It's a skin condition, and it's treatable.
Adult Acne & Teenage Acne
Acne doesn't just affect teenagers. In fact, many women and men between the ages of 25 and 40 experience new or recurring breakouts. This type of acne often manifests as deeper, painful pimples around the chin and jawline. Stress, hormones, lifestyle, and skin care routines play a big role here.
Teenage acne is often more superficial pimples and blackheads, usually in the T-zone – forehead, nose, chin. Both forms can be treated, but deserve slightly different approaches.
Psychological impact
You may not talk about it, but we know that thoughts often run through your mind:
"Do people think about my pimples more than I think?"
"I don't want to go to school today, everyone will laugh at my acne."
"Will my acne ever go away?"
Acne can be physically painful – but it’s the mental toll that often leaves the deepest mark. We’ve seen clients go from avoiding the mirror to facing the day with renewed energy. It starts with a routine that works.
