Unclog Pores and Reduce Inflammation: Salicylic Acid Chemical Peel
Clogged pores with dirt, dust and sebum can increase bacterial activity leading to the worsening of acne, Incorporating a salicylic acid chemical peel into your evening routine can effectively unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and curb the growth of acne-causing Cutibacterium acnes. For daily use, try the Light Routine Easy Chemical Peel; for weekly exfoliation, the Light Routine Gentle Exfoliator is an excellent choice. People with sensitive skin can try the preservative-free salicylic acid home peel, Light Routine Gentle Waterless. Using these salicylic acid chemical peels regularly can help improve your skin tone and texture.
Overnight Acne Control: Targeted Face Serums
Use an acne-controlling face serum for your bedtime routine. Consider the White Pine Pycnogenol Mousse for comedonal acne and the Redcovery tranexamic acid serum for inflammatory acne. These serums not only tackle acne but also prevent redness and acne-induced hyperpigmentation. Growth factor serums like Peptide Therapy Gel can also be helpful in reducing inflammation and promoting faster healing of acne.
