Use a facial cleanser that contains benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid to reduce and prevent acne. Leave the facial cleanser on for one minute before rinsing.

2. Use Skincare with Azelaic Acid

Use a serum or cream that contains azelaic acid to reduce redness and conceal hyperpigmentation caused by acne.

3. Use Moisturizer

Use a moisturizer even if your face is oily to control the production of natural skin oil, so the potential for acne to appear is reduced.

4. Use Sunscreen

Don't forget to use sunscreen to prevent various skin problems such as acne inflammation. Reapply every 2-4 hours to maximize protection.

Night Treatment

1. Use Facial Cleanser

Clean your face first with a special cleanser for acne-prone skin to remove dirt and excess oil.

2. Use Retinoid

Use a small amount of retinoid 2-3 nights per week to facilitate the healing process of acne. Adjust the amount of product and frequency of use according to your skin condition to avoid stinging or irritation.

3. Use Moisturizer

Use a moisturizer to maintain skin moisture after applying retinoid. Use a lightweight moisturizer for more comfort.

4. Use Pimple Patch

Cover acne with a pimple patch to prevent contact or exposure to dirt or anything that can worsen the skin condition. Pimple patches can also accelerate acne healing and prevent inflammation. Do this treatment for 6-8 weeks to see the results.
