In honor of Acne Awareness Month, we asked dermatologist Dr. Chris Tomassian (who has more than a million followers on TikTok) to answer your acne questions. In this special episode, powered by The INKEY List*, we discuss acne types and causes, reveal which foods can make your skin worse, teach you how to tell if your acne is hormonal, and more. Plus, Dr. Tomassian explains the ingredients you can use to help treat pimples, blackheads, and even cystic acne at home.
