Acne occurs when the hair follicles under the skin become clogged with oil and dead skin cells, resulting in various forms of inflammation and non-inflammation such as pimples, pustules, whiteheads, blackheads, and cysts. For those who are prone to acne, it can be a frustrating and confidence-damaging condition that requires proper skincare management.

The first step in managing acne-prone skin is starting with a gentle cleanser without harsh sulfates. NeoGenesis Cleanser is suitable for all skin types and conditions, effectively cleansing the skin without stripping it of its natural oils. It is recommended to use the cleanser twice daily for optimal results.

After cleansing, applying Recovery serum is crucial for restoring balance within the skin. Packed with NeoGenesis’s S²RM® technology, this serum helps to rejuvenate the skin while reducing the chances of scarring. It is recommended to use Recovery twice daily after cleansing.

For those experiencing more severe acne, incorporating Mandelic Acid 8% or Salicylic Acid Gel into their routine can be beneficial. These products can be used as a spot treatment on affected areas and should be alternated to minimize the risk of irritation.

Many people with acneic skin tend to avoid moisturizers, fearing that it will make their condition worse. However, hydration is crucial for healthy skin and does not trigger excess oil production. For those who have aggressively treated skin that appears oily and dehydrated, using a light moisturizer like NeoGenesis Light Moisturizer or Barrier Renewal Cream after Recovery can help to hydrate any dry areas.

To protect the skin from harmful UV rays, it is essential to use a chemical-free sunscreen during the day. And for an extra boost of balance and protection, finishing off your skincare routine with NeoGenesis MB-1 spray can help mitigate breakouts and irritation on the skin’s surface.
