Struggling with pesky breakouts? Here’s how to zero in on the right products combat acne once and for all.

Do you dread the thought of waking up to a breakout? Acne is often caused by a combination of factors, including excess sebum production, clogged pores, inflammation and bacterial growth. The journey toward achieving a flawless complexion can be difficult. But, fortunately with the right knowledge, dedication and consistency, you can craft the ultimate skincare routine that will help banish acne and pave the way to a radiant, blemish-free complexion.

Cleanse thoroughly

Since excess oil and clogged pores are the main culprits behind breakouts, thorough cleansing is the foundation of any effective acne skincare routine. Opt for a mild, moisturizing cleanser or a face wash that contains an active ingredient like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to wash your face twice a day. 

Although routine cleansing is essential because acne is an inflammatory condition, over-cleansing can actually irritate the skin. In order to avoid future breakouts, irritation, redness and uneven skin texture and tone, it is crucial not to over-strip the skin; this affects the skin's protective barrier. If you want to get rid of acne for good, you can try By Biolite’s Deep Pore Cleanser. This gentle, sulfate-free cleanser balances pore ecology and dissolves oil on contact without drying out your skin.

Exfoliate regularly

Exfoliation is the key to removing dead skin cells, clearing clogged pores and revealing the youthful complexion underneath. Since physical exfoliation can damage your skin and exacerbate the issue, it is a good idea to invest in a quality chemical exfoliant. Blackheads and whiteheads, non-inflammatory types of acne, respond best to BHAs like salicylic acid. AHAs often have a milder effect, and in addition to treating acne, fine lines and wrinkles, they also aid with hyperpigmentation. If you are searching for an effective exfoliant to treat acne, try By Biolite’s AHA Foaming Mousse. The formulation is a unique blend of glycolic acid, lactic acids and other potent ingredients that work synergistically to gently exfoliate your skin without causing any irritation.  

Unleash the power of acne spot treatment

On days when nothing seems to work on red, angry zits, acne spot treatments are a godsend. Spot treatment is applied directly onto the breakouts, concentrating its potent ingredients precisely where they are most effective. By using the targeted approach, the active components are more likely to deeply penetrate the affected area and reduce inflammation, redness and the size of the acne. By Biolite features Spot Gel, a quick-drying, invisible gel that helps clear breakouts quickly and noticeably while creating an invisible film to protect the skin from impurities and makeup.

Hydrate and nourish

It is time to debunk the myth that people with acne-prone skin need to avoid moisturizers. Moisturizers help keep the skin's oil production in balance, thus minimizing acne. The trick is to only use non-comedogenic, oil-free moisturizers. One that fits the bill: By Biolite’s Aqua Fluid. It is an excellent lightweight moisturizing solution that reprograms your skin and targets moisture at a cellular level.

Shield your skin with a sunscreen

Acne's retreat does not mark the end of the path to clear skin. It is equally important to retain your hard-earned results and prevent future breakouts. You should never skip sunscreen, but it is extra important to keep your skin protected from harmful UV rays if you are using active ingredients for acne because they can sensitize your skin. It is crucial to pick a lightweight, broad-spectrum sunscreen that will not clog pores or make your breakouts worse.
