Hi Dermalovers!
We all are familiar with acne. Acne is a skin condition that occurs when your hair follicles become plugged with oil and dead skin cells and appears in the form of small bumps on the surface of the skin such as whiteheads and blackheads filled with pus that occur due to bacteria and clogging of the pores in the skin. These pore blockages are caused by excessive oil production, dirt, dust and buildup of dead skin cells. Clogged pores will also cause discomfort because it may cause pain and inflammation. Acne can appear anywhere, but generally acne grows on the face, chest and back.
If acne grows for a long time, you should immediately consult to an aesthetic doctor to find out the appropriate treatment and suitable product to solve the problem. Here are some active product ingredients that are effective in dealing with acne problems:
1. Salicylic Acid
An exfoliator that can help you to get rid the dead skin cells, reduces the inflammation, kills the bacteria and diminishes excessive oil production.
2. Sulfur
Natural ingredients that have anti-inflammatory properties, but if used excessively may cause the skin to become very dry.
3. Niacinamide
A form of vitamin B3 which can reduce excess oil production, reduce redness and acne scars and may help strengthen and repair the skin barrier.
4. Benzoyl Peroxide
