Let’s Learn About Acne!

“Pimples” or “zits” are the common names for acne — a very common inflammatory condition of the hair follicles and sebaceous (oil) glands. While teenagers are most likely to develop acne, people of all ages, including adults, can experience breakouts. Acne actually comes in different types depending on severity, and understanding the different kinds can help us choose the right skincare products and treatment strategies.

Whiteheads: These are closed comedones that feel slightly hard and appear white or skin-colored. The surface is sealed, with no visible opening.
👉 Use gentle cleansers to remove excess oil, dead skin, and other impurities. Apply skincare products that balance oil and hydration. Regular use of gentle exfoliators can also help.

Blackheads: These are open comedones that feel rough to the touch, with visible black-tipped oil plugs at the surface.
👉 Cleanse with warm water and a gentle cleanser to help open pores and dissolve blockages. Choose lightweight, oil-controlling and hydrating skincare products. Exfoliate regularly with products like VG Apricot Kernel Facial Scrub. Do not forcefully squeeze them out.

Papules: These are small red swollen bumps that feel firm and don’t have visible white tips.
👉 After cleansing gently, use calming, soothing, and antibacterial skincare to help reduce inflammation and speed up healing, minimizing post-acne marks.

Pustules: These are larger red swollen bumps with yellow or white centers filled with pus.
👉 Do not squeeze or pick at them — especially in the facial “danger triangle” area. Use products with strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, such as VG Honey & Beeswax Soothing Beauty Cream.

VG’s dedicated skincare range for oily, acne-prone, and blemish-prone skin contains no harsh ingredients. Safe, gentle, and effective — with consistent use, your skin can return to a healthy, balanced state.
