Acne is a skin disorder most common in teens, but also in adults. It is actually caused by a combination of several factors: over-activity of oil gland in the skin, diet, habits, environment, stress etc. On the basis of TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine), it holds that internal imbalance induced external disease.
