Acne, also known as acne vulgaris, is a long-term skin disease that occurs when hair follicles are clogged with dead skin cells and oil from the skin.

It is characterized by blackheads or whiteheads, pimples, greasy skin, and possible scarring.

It primarily affects areas of the skin with a relatively high number of oil glands, including the face, upper part of the chest, and back.

The resulting appearance can lead to anxiety, reduced self-esteem and, in extreme cases, depression or thoughts of suicide.

The Made in USA mark is a country of origin label indicating the product is "all or virtually all" made in the United States.

The label is regulated by the Federal Trade Commission (FTC).

Cosmetics, also known as make-up, are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance or fragrance of the body.

Many cosmetics are designed for use of applying to the face and hair.

They are generally mixtures of chemical compounds; some being derived from natural sources (such as coconut oil), and some being synthetics.

Common cosmetics include lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation, rouge, skin cleansers and skin lotions, shampoo, hairstyling products (gel, hair spray, etc), perfume and cologne.

Moisturizers or emollients are complex mixtures of chemical agents specially designed to make the external layers of the skin (epidermis) softer and more pliable.

They increase the skin's hydration (water content) by reducing evaporation.

Naturally occurring skin lipids and sterols, as well as artificial or natural oils, humectants, emollients, lubricants, etc., may be part of the composition of commercial skin moisturizers.

They usually are available as commercial products for cosmetic and therapeutic uses, but can also be made at home using common pharmacy ingredients.

Animal testing, also known as animal experimentation, animal research and in vivo testing, is the use of non-human animals in experiments that seek to control the variables that affect the behavior or biological system under study.

This approach can be contrasted with field studies in which animals are observed in their natural environments.

Experimental research with animals is usually conducted in universities, medical schools, pharmaceutical companies, defense establishments and commercial facilities that provide animal-testing services to industry.

The focus of animal testing varies on a continuum from pure research, done with little regard to the uses to which understanding may be put, to applied research, which may focus on answering some question of great practical importance, such as finding a cure for a disease.

Examples of applied research include testing, breeding, defense research and toxicology, including cosmetics testing.

In education, animal testing is sometimes a component of biology or psychology courses.

The practice is regulated to varying degrees in different countries.
