TY - CHAP M1 - Book, Section TI - Overview of Acne A1 - Baumann, Leslie PY - 2015 T2 - Cosmeceuticals and Cosmetic Ingredients AB - Four main etiologic factors have been implicated in the pathophysiology of acne: sebaceous gland hyperactivity, inflammation, abundance of Propionibacterium acnes, and dysfunction of the desquamation of the hair follicle (see Chapter 64, Anti-inflammatory Agents). These causal elements work interdependently and are mediated by such important influences as diet, stress, heredity, and hormonal activity.
