Acne Free

Updated, safer home tips for acne: gentle cleansing, proven topical actives (benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, adapalene), avoid harsh kitchen remedies, use hydrocolloid patches, and see a clinician for persistent or severe acne.

Acne Scars

Acne can leave temporary discoloration or permanent scars; early acne control and sun protection reduce risk, while modern topical and procedural treatments (retinoids, chemical peels, microneedling, lasers, subcision) can improve established scars.

Treat Blackheads

Blackheads (open comedones) form when sebum and shed cells clog a follicle and darken by oxidation. Current first-line treatments are topical retinoids and keratolytic agents; antibiotics are not primary therapy for noninflammatory blackheads.

Best Acne Treatments

Match acne treatment to lesion type and severity. OTC options like benzoyl peroxide and adapalene help mild cases; prescription topicals, oral antibiotics, hormonal therapies, and isotretinoin address more severe disease. Procedures and lifestyle changes are adjuncts.

Glymed

GlyMed-style skincare uses clinical strengths of AHAs/BHAs, antioxidants and botanicals to improve texture and tone. These professional formulations can be effective but require proper use and sun protection.

Clear Skin

Clear-skin solutions work differently for each person. Match treatments to your skin type, consult a dermatologist, read reviews carefully, and be patient - most products take 8-12 weeks to show results.
