Care for acne-prone skin

Acne-prone skin is a skin condition that reacts particularly sensitively to external and internal influences and tends to develop impurities such as blackheads, pimples, pustules, papules, and inflammation. It can be influenced by a combination of genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors, as well as diet and stress. Targeted skincare and the use of suitable active ingredients are crucial for improving the complexion and minimizing acne breakouts.

Frequently asked questions

It can be frustrating when your skin appears to worsen despite using suitable skincare products. Often, over-cleansing, incorrect product application, or hidden triggers like parabens or alcohol can exacerbate acne symptoms. Additionally, hormonal or dietary factors, as well as stress, environmental influences, or medications, can also play a role.

There are various treatment options to reduce acne scars. Chemical peels with AHA or BHA acids, microneedling, laser therapy, and skincare products containing retinol or vitamin C are among the most effective methods. Additionally, regular sun protection is essential, as UV radiation can worsen scarring.

Early consultation with a dermatologist can help you find suitable treatment options and sustainably improve your skin condition. Don’t hesitate to seek professional help to receive the best possible care for your skin and enhance your quality of life.

Hyperkeratinization refers to excessive keratinization of the skin. It's one of the main causes of blackheads and acne, as excessive keratin production clogs pores. A thickened stratum corneum can make the skin appear rough, uneven, and dull, making it difficult for skincare products to be absorbed.

5 care steps for acne-prone skin

1. Cleansing: A thorough yet gentle cleanse is crucial for removing excess sebum, dirt, and dead skin cells.
2. Chemical Peels: Products containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid help remove dead skin cells and unclog pores, significantly improving skin texture.
3. Moisturizing: Acne-prone skin also needs hydration. Choose non-comedogenic, lightweight formulations that won’t clog pores.
4. Retinoids: These promote cell turnover, regulate sebum production, and reduce inflammation, leading to clearer skin that is more resilient against new impurities.
5. Sunscreen: This step protects against external influences, reduces scarring, and minimizes inflammation and skin damage caused by increased sensitivity to light from peeling agents.

Popular ingredients for acne-prone skin

Choosing the right ingredients can help reduce inflammation, clear pores, and improve skin texture in the long term. The following ingredients have proven particularly effective for acne-prone skin: salicylic acid (BHA), retinoids, niacinamide, and azelaic acid. Besides selecting the right ingredients, it is equally important to know which substances can exacerbate your skin condition. Comedogenic ingredients, alcohol-based toners, aggressive peels, and oily creams should be avoided to reduce the risk of breakouts.

Temporary impurities or acne

Your skin type plays a crucial role in susceptibility to acne and other impurities. Oily skin has increased sebum production, which can lead to clogged pores and, consequently, acne. Dry skin is less prone to acne but can be susceptible to other impurities. Combination skin can be prone to both, as it may have oily, dry, and balanced areas. While temporary impurities occur sporadically and are less intense, acne is recurrent and persistent. The symptoms are often painful, long-lasting, and leave marks in the form of scars and post-acne spots.
