What Should You Use for Your Acne? 👀 Not all acne is the same. The ingredient you need depends on the type of breakout or acne mark you’re dealing with. Here’s a quick acne cheat sheet to save for later 👇 ✨ Blackheads → Salicylic Acid (BHA) Helps unclog pores and remove excess oil. ✨ Whiteheads → Glycolic Acid (AHA) Helps exfoliate dead skin cells and smooth clogged skin. ✨ Papules → Azelaic Acid Helps calm inflamed breakouts and redness. ✨ Pustules → Benzoyl Peroxide Helps reduce acne-causing bacteria and inflammation. ✨ PIE (Red Spots) → Azelaic Acid + Niacinamide Helps with post-acne redness. ✨ PIH (Dark Spots) → Tranexamic Acid + Hydroquinone Helps target post-acne dark spots and hyperpigmentation. The key is to treat what you actually see on your skin instead of using every acne ingredient at once. Save this for later 🤍 Which type of acne or acne marks do you struggle with the most? 👇 #acne #skincare #acneskincare #acnetreatment #kbeauty
