It's Acne Awareness Month.
According to the American Academy of Dermatology, this common and complicated condition affects up to 50 million Americans annually, 85% between the ages of 12-24, contributing to anxiety and other mental health issues.
Despite these staggering stats, social media bans images of acne in its advertising.
Skincare brand Clear Start by Dermalogica is on a mission to raise awareness of this acne censorship, promoting real uncensored skin and reminding people that there's no shame in breakouts.
They've launched a campaign to further amplify the message through the brand's first-ever marketing campaign, 'Clear Start on the Street.'
