Ingredients To Include in an Acne-Fighting Routine
-
Ceramides
"Acne, like other skin conditions, is a deficiency in the skin barrier,” says Dr. Marchbein, who also advises that “products that contain ceramides can actually help to restore the skin barrier.” -
Benzoyl Peroxyde
Benzoyl Peroxyde is effective, generally well-tolerated, and may help kill acne-causing bacteria. According to Dr. Marchbein, “it’s one of the most powerful acne ingredients that we have.” CeraVe's Acne Foaming Cleanser is a gentle and non-irritating cleanser with benzoyl peroxide, This foaming cleanser helps clear up whiteheads, blackheads, and acne pimples, and helps prevent new acne blemishes from forming. -
Salicylic Acid
By effectively penetrating deep into pores, salicylic acid can help to eliminate pore-clogging materials, like dead skin cells. Keeping pores free from debris, oils, and bacteria is an essential part of minimizing acne, especially blackheads and whiteheads. “Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid, which means that it goes deep down into the pores to help unclog them, and can gently exfoliate the skin,” says Dr. Marchbein.
