Acne Awareness Month: Rethinking Long-Term Acne Care

June marks Acne Awareness Month, an important opportunity to look beyond the surface of one of the most common, and most commonly underestimated, skin conditions in the world.

More Than a Teenage Problem

Acne affects around 85% of Australians aged 15 to 24 at some point, and for many it persists well into adulthood.¹ Globally, acne is estimated to affect 9.4% of the population, ranking it among the most prevalent diseases worldwide.² Beyond the physical symptoms, acne carries a significant psychological burden, with well-documented associations with reduced self-esteem, social withdrawal, anxiety, and depression.

For patients, acne is rarely just about skin. It affects confidence, relationships, and quality of life. For clinicians, it demands a treatment approach that looks beyond short-term symptom control toward genuinely long-lasting outcomes.

Actual patient.

Model. Not actual patient.
