The Facts

Fun fact: acne is the #1 most common skin condition.

What Do Skin Care Products Do for Acne?

The tricky thing about acne is that there are several different factors that can contribute to your symptoms – oil production, skin cell turnover, bacteria, and more. That’s why there are so many different skin care products for acne, because there are numerous different approaches they can take to clearing your skin.

Some products clear out your pores to avoid clogs, since clogged pores can turn into pimples. Other products are antibacterial to control bacteria on your skin. Others help your skin clear away surface skin cells so the cells don’t get stuck in your pores. Different products and approaches work for different people, so it’s a matter of finding the combo your skin needs.

How Do You Treat Acne?

The good thing about acne is that for most people it can be well-controlled with just skin care. Here are a few tips to keep in mind:

• Wash your face twice a day with an acne-treating cleanser. Cleansing twice a day is a good practice for anyone but if you have acne, it’s especially important to do this to keep your pores clear.
• Swap out your routine skin care products with products that are specifically made for skin with acne, like an acne-friendly moisturizer because some traditional moisturizers can clog pores.
• Look for skin care products with ingredients that are known acne-fighting heroes like benzoyl peroxide and salicylic acid.
• Consider using a retinol product – these products help with skin cell turnover in a way that could prevent acne breakouts. Plus they’re great for anti-aging, so that’s a bonus!

How Do You Choose Skin Care Products for Acne?

Everyone’s skin is one of a kind so what works for a friend might not work for you. It ultimately comes down to trial and error, finding the products that work best for your skin. Common types of skin care products for acne might include:

• Cleansers for acne management
• Acne treatment serums and lotions
• Acne-friendly moisturizers
• Deep cleansing masks for acne
• Exfoliators for people with acne
• Acne spot treatments

Bringing products like these into your skin care routine can help you manage your acne and prevent breakouts on an ongoing basis so you’re not doing damage control, you’re out there enjoying life with clearer skin.
