How to Formulate for Acne-Prone Skin

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

Acne skincare must be gentle, non-comedogenic, and consistent in targeting inflammation and oil.
