Control Acne
Learn practical, up-to-date steps to recognize, manage, and seek care for acne - from gentle home routines and effective OTC options to when to see a clinician for prescription treatments.
Get Rid Of Acne
Acne arises from clogged pores, sebum, inflammation, hormones, bacteria, and sometimes diet or stress. Start with gentle skin care and OTC benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid. See a clinician for persistent, severe, or scarring acne; treatments include topical retinoids, oral antibiotics, hormonal therapy, and isotretinoin.
Acne Cleanser
Choose a gentle, non-comedogenic cleanser with acne-fighting ingredients (like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide). Cleanse twice daily, avoid harsh scrubs, patch-test new products, and see a dermatologist for persistent or severe acne.

Natural Acne Cures
Acne is multifactorial - hormones, sebum, bacteria, and inflammation interact. Lifestyle changes, some supplements (zinc), and topical botanicals (tea tree oil) can help mildly, but evidence varies. See a dermatologist for moderate to severe acne.
Best Acne Treatment
Adapt your cosmetics and skincare when treating acne: use oil-free, non-comedogenic products, expect early irritation with retinoids, limit antibiotics to reduce resistance, consider newer topical options, and consult dermatology for scar treatments and safety monitoring.
Laser Treatment Acne
Laser and light therapies can reduce inflammatory acne and sebum, offering a non-drug option for many patients. They require multiple sessions, have short recovery time, and are not a guaranteed cure for severe acne.
Acne Scarring
Acne scars form when inflammation from clogged hair follicles damages skin structure. Types include atrophic (ice-pick, boxcar, rolling) and raised scars (hypertrophic, keloid). Early treatment and avoiding picking reduce risk; dermatologic procedures can improve existing scars.
Salicylic Acid Acne
Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid that exfoliates oily pores to treat blackheads and mild acne. Use 0.5-2% products, start slowly, moisturize, and see a dermatologist for inflammatory or scarring acne.

Avoid picking cysts and consult a dermatologist early to prevent scarring.
