Acne Skincare
Updated overview of acne causes, practical skincare, OTC options, and modern prescription treatments including topical retinoids, benzoyl peroxide, hormonal therapies, and isotretinoin. Practical tips for reducing irritation and when to see a dermatologist.
Adult Acne
A balanced, evidence-aligned plan for adult acne: replace harsh cleansers with a mild non-comedogenic cleanser, manage stress and sleep, and favor whole foods while limiting high-glycemic and possibly dairy triggers. See a dermatologist for persistent or severe acne.
