Acne-prone skin needs a formulation that treats inflammation, controls oil, and heals without causing more breakouts. Here’s what to use—and avoid.
Key Ingredients:
- Salicylic Acid (0.5–2%)
- Niacinamide (4-5%)
- Tea Tree Hydrosol or Extract
- Zinc PCA
- Lightweight humectants like Sodium PCA or Glycerin
Formulation Tips:
- Keep emulsions light
- Use non-comedogenic oils (e.g., Squalane, Hemp Seed Oil)
- Avoid heavy butters and excessive fragrance
