Growth Drivers
Acne is one of the most common dermatological disorders affecting both men and women globally. Anti-acne cosmetics are used to clear the pimples, and lesions form due to acne. The use of anti-acne cosmetics has increased in recent years due to the increasing number of people with acne globally and increased beauty awareness and urbanization in many parts of the world.
Globally, acne is the eighth most prevalent disease, and acne vulgaris affects nearly 700 million people worldwide and is approximately 10% of the world population. Even though acne will not have any life-threatening effects on the health of a person, but it will lead to various psychological problems such as depression and anxiety among people.
In recent years, men's use of anti-acne cosmetics has increased due to increased awareness of cosmetic products among men. Many companies are also producing anti-acne cosmetics specifically for men. The increasing popularity of anti-acne products has led to the introduction of many new innovative products in the anti-acne cosmetics market.
In December 2019, CeraVe Acne introduced Resurfacing Retinol Serum and Foaming Cream Cleanser with Benzoyl Peroxide therapeutic skincare products. Both the products are produced by combining the three essential ceramides that include 1, 3, and 6-II to manage acne-prone skin.
Perricone MD introduced a new Acne Relief Prebiotic Acne Therapy line based on prebiotics in October 2019. The new product will treat acne by targeting acne-causing bacteria, inflammation, and excess oil. In August 2020, Moia Elixirs launched an advanced skincare Cannabidiol-infused nanofiber face mask for acne prevention.
The COVID-19 pandemic is expected to have a negligible effect on the growth of the global market for anti-acne cosmetics during the forecast period, as most treatments do not require hospitalization or visiting hospitals frequently. The products are used at home for the proper management of skin.
