Comedones or black dots are formed on the face as a result of a violation of the function of the sebaceous glands. Sebaceous glands regularly produce fat, which is evenly distributed over the surface of the skin and creates a protective film. Hormonal disorders, improper skin care, exposure to external factors can cause disturbances in the function of the sebaceous glands. As a result, the pores are clogged with fat and dead cells, which oxidize and darken, forming comedones.
