Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a skin condition characterized by the clogging of hair follicles with oil or dead skin cells. The skin condition can be persistent even after treatments. Acne is estimated to affect the areas of the skin, which have a relatively high number of oil glands, i.e., the face, the upper part of the chest, and back. Pustules, nodules, cystic lesions, and papules are some of the common symptoms of the disease. Acne is common among teenagers. The increasing prevalence of acne and the growing teenage population are expected to fuel the growth of the acne treatment market.

The growth of the global acne treatment market is attributed to the high global acne prevalence, increasing sedentary lifestyle, and unhealthy food habits, the high influence of social media and brand endorsements, and rise in disposable incomes of middle-class people.
