If you have acne, choosing the right skincare products can help manage breakouts and prevent new ones
What skincare should I use if I have acne? Start with a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser that won’t strip your skin of its natural oils but will help remove excess oil and impurities. Look for cleansers with salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide, which help unclog pores and reduce bacteria. After cleansing, apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated without causing more breakouts. Consider using products with niacinamide to reduce redness and inflammation, and retinoids to promote cell turnover and prevent clogged pores. Spot treatments containing benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid can target individual blemishes. Always use sunscreen during the day to protect your skin and prevent dark spots from forming. Avoid harsh scrubs or abrasive exfoliants, as they can irritate acne-prone skin and worsen breakouts. Stick to a consistent routine, and allow time for products to work.
