4 Amazing Ingredients That Can Zap Zits

Posted By Rose

Acne, pimples, zits, blemishes whatever you call them, there is one thing we can all agree on: We want to get rid of these pesky bumps for good. However, it can be a daunting task to find the right product with a massive number of options in stores and online.
Before you make a purchase, it is a good idea to know the best acne-fighting ingredients. Check them out below:



Salicylic Acid
This is the most important ingredient for acne on oily skin. It dissolves oil and dead skin cells both on the surface of your skin and deep within your pores.
 
We recommend:
Peter Thomas Roth Acne Clearing Wash
This formula contains 2% salicylic acid for maximum cleaning power. It protects your skin from pimples and acne, and gives you amazing results with regular use.


Sulfur
This element aids in cellular turnover, which results in faster healing from acne and blemishes. It is best for mild to moderate acne rather than for cystic breakouts

We recommend:
Dr Dennis Gross Clarifying Colloidal Sulfur Mask
Featuring sulfur for fast-acting results, this product treats acne, blackheads and large pores. Plus, it calms redness and irritation.


Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA)
With regular use, AHA can treat and prevent recurring acne. It can also reduce the size of enlarged pores and hyperpigmentation, which are common problems of acne-prone skin.

We recommend:
ProDerm AHA BHA 8-2 Lotion
This exfoliating formulation brightens the complexion and reduces acne breakouts and comedones without causing irritation. It can give your skin a nice and healthy glow.


Lactic Acid
Its molecules help reach even the deepest layers of the skin and clean the pores, thereby unclogging them so that the trapped sebum gets an outlet. Additionally, it serves as a good exfoliating agent.

We recommend:
Sunday Riley Good Genes All-in-One Lactic Acid Treatment
Harnessing the exfoliating power of lactic acid, this intensive treatment helps to brighten skin instantly while working to restore damaged skin. Apply daily to reap long-term benefits and get skin truly glowing.
