Teen Acne Statistics

A recent survey of teenagers found that:

• 39% of teenagers with acne claimed they avoided going to school because of embarrassment
• 55% of 11- to 18-year-olds said acne prevented them from having a boyfriend or girlfriend
• 32% indicated acne stopped them from making friends

Acne can be agonizing for teens. That’s why it’s so important to understand the causes of acne and what you can do about it.
