Acne-prone skin treatments

Whether it's a standard pimple cream or moisturising salves and oils, choosing the correct acne product is essential to take care of blemish- and acne-prone skin. Eucerin combines carefully selected and scientifically tested ingredients to create remedies that target the root causes of acne and blemishes, most notably the build-up of sebum, preventing and minimising the unsightly appearance of whiteheads and blackheads, and fading acne marks and spots. 

A large number of people have suffered from acne at some time in their lives, yet a number of acne treatments and products for blemished skin can help to alleviate the most common side effects. These can be used on their own, or as an adjunctive treatment to prescription acne medications. 

Androgen hormones lead to the overproduction of sebum, which impedes the body's ability to shed dead skin cells. Removing excess sebum is important to prevent its build up, and can be achieved with a gentle cleansing gel. Daily application reduces the visibility of spots and blemishes, and returns the skin to its healthy state. 

After thorough cleansing of the face with a gentle gel, applying a moisturiser or acne cream like Eucerin DermoPurifyer Oil Control Adjunctive Soothing Cream to spots and pimples is a must instead of touching or squeezing them – doing so should always be avoided, as it will further inflame the issue. 

Once a week, instead of the Cleansing Gel, applying an acne scrub helps soothing relief from marks and scarring. This gesture reduces the build up of impurities and blackheads and provide gentle relief, refining the skin texture.
