The truth is this: not all acne is created equal. Nor are the marks it leaves behind: brown speckles of post-inflammatory pigmentation, lingering redness, or the occasional textural reminder of a battle lost. And while the dialogue around skin has grown more nuanced (thankfully ditching the shame of past decades), acne remains, at its core, a medical condition. One that deserves care, not just coverage.

Pores, often misunderstood and mislabeled, are not one-size-fits-all problems. There are three main types: sebaceous filaments, blackheads, and whiteheads. Sebaceous filaments are natural and help oil flow from within the skin. Blackheads form when oil and debris clog a pore and oxidize, turning dark. Whiteheads, on the other hand, trap that buildup under the skin, staying closed off from the air. Understanding these differences is key to treating them properly, and avoiding inflammation and acne that can follow when they’re mishandled.
