How to Know if You Have Acne-Prone Skin

Understanding your skin type is the first step to achieving clear, healthy skin. Here are the key signs of acne-prone skin.

Frequent Breakouts

You experience regular pimples, blackheads, or whiteheads, especially in the T-zone (forehead, nose, and chin).

Oily Skin

Your skin produces excess sebum, leaving it shiny or greasy, particularly by midday.

Enlarged Pores

Visible, enlarged pores that are prone to clogging with oil, dirt, and dead skin cells.

Texture Issues

Rough or uneven skin texture with bumps under the surface, often indicating clogged pores.

Inflammation

Red, inflamed areas or painful cystic acne that takes longer to heal and may leave marks.

Sensitivity to Products

Certain skincare or makeup products trigger breakouts or worsen existing acne.
