For Teenage Girls
Girls naturally go through puberty before boys, and with the many changes you experience during this time, spots and breakouts are often one of them.

For Teenage Boys
Being a guy and having spots or acne-prone skin is not easy. You may feel self-conscious when you first breakout but don’t worry — there are some things you can do to help.

For Students
You’ve made it through school and into the safe zone, ready for breakouts to become a thing of the past...and then university happens. Surely this doesn't happen to twenty-somethings, right?

For Adults
If you’re wondering why your skin is behaving as if you’re a sixteen-year-old, you’re not alone. Spots are more common than you think, with adult acne affecting nearly 55% of the adult population.
