Adult acne affects 5.6 million Canadians (and 75% of them are women!). September is Acne Awareness Month, so in episode 187 of Eat Move Think, we’ve teamed up with Refine, Medcan’s dermatology clinic, for the ultimate guide to adult acne.
Double board-certified dermatologist Dr. Jennifer Tran (pictured above) breaks down the who, what, where, when and whys of acne, and how you can know what’s best for your skin.
