Skincare for blemish-prone skin

Skincare for blemish-prone skin: cleanse thoroughly but gently

Skin prone to blemishes needs two things at once: a cleanser that keeps pores free of excess sebum, and hydration that doesn’t feel heavy. If you dry out your skin too much, it can become tight and irritated. A good routine therefore cleanses thoroughly but gently, then provides light hydration to bring the skin into balance.

Blemishes can occur at any age, including adulthood, when hormonal changes can cause new spots. Avoid squeezing and scrubbing hard, as this can make skin more irritated. Instead, give your skin a consistent routine and stick to it for a few weeks before assessing the results.

Cleanser and toner for blemish-prone skin

Start morning and evening with a cleanser. Cleansing gel turns into a soft foam that deeply cleanses the skin of dirt, excess oil and impurities. If your skin is also sensitive, Skin Balance cleansing mousse is a mild cleansing mousse with organic aloe vera and provitamin B5 that soothes and softens the skin. Afterwards, Skin Balance facial toner with extracts of algae and liquorice root can soothe the skin and make pores look smaller. Cleansing gel and Skin Balance facial toner are both AllergyCertified and dermatologically tested. See more products under facial cleansers.

Serum for blemish-prone skin

Serum is the step where you give your skin targeted active ingredients. Acne Serum contains salicylic acid, a so-called BHA acid that penetrates the pores and loosens dead skin cells and excess sebum, making the skin look clearer. The serum is lightweight, oil-free and fragrance-free and also helps with redness. Skin Balance facial serum is oil-free and provides hydration with hyaluronic acid, which binds moisture in the skin. It is particularly suitable for young or sensitive skin with blemishes and redness. In the evening, Retinol Serum with pure retinol, a form of vitamin A, can help with both blemishes and large pores. See all products with salicylic acid or the full range of serums.

Face cream for blemish-prone skin that doesn’t feel greasy

Blemish-prone skin needs moisture too. Skin Balance face cream provides hydration with hyaluronic acid, and liquorice root extract, a soothing plant extract, helps bring the skin into balance and reduce blemishes. The cream is fragrance-free and AllergyCertified. Anti redness cream is suitable for skin with both redness and blemishes: an ingredient derived from lactic acid bacteria strengthens the skin’s good bacteria and keeps the skin in balance, while organic oats soothe.

As an extra step in the evening, Clay mask can give pores a deep cleanse, with natural clay drawing out excess oil and impurities. If you want to reduce oily shine, see also skincare for oily skin, or find your routine to get your products in the right order.
