What is Acne?
Acne is a common skin condition that occurs when hair follicles become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria, leading to the formation of pimples, blackheads, and whiteheads. Acne will often appear on the face, back, shoulders, and chest, and can vary in severity from mild breakouts to painful, deep cysts. Factors such as hormonal changes, genetics, stress, and possibly using the wrong skincare products can trigger or worsen acne. While it is most common during adolescence, acne can affect individuals at any age. With the right treatment and skincare routine, acne can be effectively managed and controlled.

Our Acne Treatment Options
Acne is a complex condition that varies for each individual. At Revitalise London, we offer a range of treatments designed to target different types of acne and skin concerns. Our dermatologists will work closely with you to find the most suitable solution for your skin.
1. Topical Treatments
Topical treatments are often the first step in managing mild to moderate acne. These medications help to reduce oil production, promote skin cell turnover, and fight bacteria to prevent breakouts.
Types of Topical Treatments Include:
- Retinoids: Help unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and promote skin renewal.
- Benzoyl: Reduces acne-causing bacteria and helps clear blocked pores.
- Salicylic Acid: Exfoliates the skin and clears away dead skin cells, reducing the occurrence of breakouts.
2. Oral Medications
For more severe or persistent acne, oral medications can be an effective option. These treatments work internally to reduce inflammation, regulate hormones, and target acne-causing bacteria.
Available Oral Treatments Include:
- Antibiotics: Reduce inflammation and bacterial growth in moderate to severe acne.
- Oral Contraceptives: For women, certain birth control pills can regulate hormones and reduce breakouts.
- Isotretinoin: A powerful medication used for severe, cystic acne, often providing long-lasting results.
3. Chemical Peels
Chemical peels involve applying a chemical solution to skin with no active acne to exfoliate the top layers, promoting the regeneration of healthier skin. This treatment can reduce acne breakouts, minimise scarring, and improve overall skin texture.
Our Chemical Peel Options Include:
- Salicylic Acid Peels: Penetrates deep into the pores to remove excess oil and dead skin cells.
- Glycolic Acid Peels: Exfoliates the surface of the skin, reducing the appearance of acne scars and promoting a smoother complexion.
4. Laser and Light Therapy
Laser and light therapies are advanced treatments that target acne-causing bacteria, reduce inflammation, and promote skin healing. They can be effective for both active acne and acne scars.
Our Laser and Light Therapy Options:
- Blue Light Therapy: Targets and destroys acne-causing bacteria.
- Laser Resurfacing: Reduces the appearance of acne scars and promotes new collagen formation for smoother skin.
5. Lifestyle and Skincare Advice
Achieving clearer skin often involves a holistic approach that includes lifestyle changes and an appropriate skincare routine. Our dermatologists provide personalised advice to help you manage your acne more effectively.
Lifestyle Support Includes:
- Guidance on choosing non-comedogenic skincare products.
- Dietary advice to avoid potential acne triggers.
- Stress management techniques to reduce the likelihood of breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions
Acne is caused by a combination of factors, including excess oil production, clogged pores, bacteria, and inflammation. Hormonal changes, stress, and certain skincare products can also trigger or worsen breakouts.
The time frame for seeing results varies depending on the treatment and the severity of your acne. Topical treatments may show improvement within a few weeks, while oral medications or laser therapies might take longer to produce noticeable changes.
While acne cannot always be entirely prevented, maintaining a proper skincare routine, managing stress, and avoiding known triggers can significantly reduce breakouts. Our dermatologists can provide personalised advice to help minimise future acne.
