Practical, updated guidance for acne-prone skin: gentle cleansing, proven OTC actives (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, adapalene), sunscreen, and when to see a dermatologist to prevent scarring.
Topical anti-aging ingredients - retinoids, vitamin C, and AHAs - can improve skin texture and tone when used correctly, but sun protection, proper formulation, and gradual introduction are essential to reduce irritation and get results.
Begin anti-aging care early with daily sunscreen, targeted topicals (retinoids, antioxidants, AHAs), and healthy lifestyle habits to slow visible aging.
