The best acne solution is one that treats all the four causes of acne. This solution is usually obtained by using a combination of skincare products that contain different acne treatment ingredients.
These causes of acne which must be addressed for effective acne treatment are excessive oil production by the skin, clogged skin pores, the acne-causing bacteria known as Cutibacterium acnes (formerly Propionibacterium acnes) and inflammation.
A perfect combination of skincare products that provides one of the best acne solution for oily skin and the best acne treatment 2023 that can be obtained without a prescription includes the following three products:
The Best Acne Solution: Cerave Acne Foaming Cleanser
Cerave Acne Foaming Cleanser should be used for cleansing the skin in the morning and evening because it contains benzoyl peroxide. Benzoyl peroxide is very effective for clearing the acne causing bacteria C. acnes. Benzoyl peroxide also helps the pores shed dead skin cells which reduces their clogging.
The Best Acne Solution: Cerave Acne Control Gel
Cerave Acne Control Gel should be applied to the skin after cleansing in the morning since it contains salicylic acid. Salicylic acid effectively penetrates deep into the pores to clean and unclog them. Salicylic acid also has anti-inflammatory properties which reduce the inflammation that causes redness and swelling of acne lesions.
The Best Acne Solution: Cerave Resurfacing Retinol
Cerave Resurfacing Retinol should be applied to the skin after cleansing at night since it contains retinol. Retinol exfoliates the skin which prevents clogging of the pores and reduces the hyperpigmentation of acne marks. Retinol also reduce the oil in the skin and helps with the treatment of acne scars.
Dermatologist Recommended Acne Products
This combination of Cerave products is the best acne solution that is dermatologist recommended since it tackles all the four causes of acne each day. This results in faster treatment of acne without using prescription medications.
This combination of Cerave products for acne is also the best acne treatment for adults that can be obtained over-the-counter since retinoids should not be used by children. The best acne treatment for teens would therefore involve using the Cerave Acne Foaming Cleanser and Cerave Acne Control Gel without the retinol.
This combination of dermatologist recommended acne products that includes Cerave Acne Foaming Cleanser, Cerave Acne Control Gel and Cerave Resurfacing Retinol also doubles up as the best acne treatment for oily skin since it contains retinol and benzoyl peroxide which reduce oil in the skin. It is also non-comedogenic.
