South Africa, Johannesburg: Dealing with acne can be a challenging task, especially when it comes to sensitive skin. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells. It causes whiteheads, blackheads or pimples and is most common among teenagers, though it affects people of all ages1. Cetaphil, a skincare brand dermatologically tested for sensitive skin2, understands the unique needs of those with sensitive skin who are seeking effective solutions for acne.
