To get the best results from your acne treatment, board-certified dermatologists recommend these tips.
Keep your skin clean. Gently wash your face up to twice daily and after sweating. Choose a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser.
Apply it with your fingertips, as scrubbing with washcloths, sponges, and other tools can irritate your skin.
Choose the right skin care. Use gentle skin care products and ones that say “alcohol-free” on the label. Avoid products that can irritate your skin, including astringents, toners, and exfoliants.
These products can dry your skin and make acne appear worse.
