Acne Champs: A New Perspective.

Real skin. Raw emotions. True stories. 

Our Acne Champs docuseries continues. We challenged Gen Z photographer and designer, Charles Cerrone, to capture our community through a new lens––a fresh take on what it means to be a ‘champ’.  

Here, he interviewed ten friends to discover what it means to be confident in your own skin, overcome skin insecurities, and become more than your acne. Go deeper than skin deep with the stories below.
