Acne Medicine Market Overview:
The market is expected to exhibit moderate growth during the forecast period, which can be attributed to factors such as the emergence of lifestyle trends, unhealthy lifestyles, and increased morbidity.
Acne is a common dermatological condition, affecting more than 9.4 million people worldwide. Improper hormone production is the main reason. An increase in androgen (estrogen, in women) during puberty causes the onset of this condition by increasing the oil glands under the skin.

Although some studies show that the risk of developing acne can be increased due to genetics, some factors such as emotional stress, menstruation, hot weather and humidity, and bright jewelry can trigger mood.
