The best way to get breakouts under control is a consistent, non-irritating routine. It’s unlikely that one step of a regimen would have the same impact as an integrated system of products that's designed to work together.

It’s clinically proven on men and women to fight active blemishes. You’ll see a 37% improvement in 3 days—and it just keeps getting better.

Using products that aren’t formulated for your skin type can clog pores, which can lead to breakouts. That goes for anything you put on your skin, including makeup. Our Acne Solutions line includes a liquid makeup with salicylic acid that helps control oil.

If there’s one blemish-buster that every acne-prone skin needs, it’s Acne Solutions Clinical Clearing Gel. This medicated daily treatment gel with salicylic acid starts clearing blemishes instantly—and helps prevent new ones from making an unwelcome appearance.

Pure myth. In fact, sun may actually trigger breakouts. Plus, some acne treatments make you more sensitive to sunlight. The other common myth that sunscreen makes you break out? Also untrue. UVA/UVB protection is essential. Just be sure to choose a lightweight, oil-free formula.
 

The kind of irritation we see with acne can cause skin to darken or leave post-acne marks. (This is one of the biggest reasons not to pop your pimples!) With Even Better Clinical Dark Spot Corrector, you’ll see a visible reduction in dark spots, including acne scars, in just 4 weeks.
 

Keep hands, hair and other potential irritants away from your face. The strap on a bike helmet, the phone against your cheek, even cupping your chin in your hand can transmit bacteria and oil, irritating skin and leading to breakouts.
 

Be mindful when applying hair styling products since they can migrate to your face, potentially clogging pores around your hairline. And be sure to include the hairline in your skin care routine.
