The school year is starting, so I thought it's an ideal time to focus on teenage skin problem - acne. No matter if you're 15 or 45, acne problems don't know the age, but acne might have different forms and background. How to balance your skincare and diet during the teenage years to make your skin free from acne?
How to treat acne?
I've got sad information for you. There is no one simple solution to every skin. Each skin is different, and for some people using Differin can be enough. My acne story was more complicated and lately, I had to change my diet. Your choices can mean a lot for the skin because skincare is not only about routine, but daily routines like your eating habits, emotions, activity, sleep and other tiny things in your life. In this post, I won't show you a solution to the acne, but I'll recommend products that helped me, and maybe they'll help you as well.
What esthetician can do for your skin?
People usually go to the dermatologist with skin problems, and that's correct. Before you start using products on your own, please, go to a specialist.
Some of the test that might help you:
- complete blood count
- thyroid function tests
- iron test skin allergy tests (I would recommend RAST test as well, in my case skin allergy tests were always negative while my IgE was way too high)
Diet vs acne
What kind of meals do you like to eat? My biggest problem with food is processed food. Unfortunately, the market right now is full of processed food, fast food and products that cause us only health problems. I've heard before many theories like spicy food is bad for acne, dairy is bad for acne, low IG diet is the best for acne-prone skin. I plan to make a full post on acne diet but my tip on this topic is - eat more veggies and fruits, try to bake a cake instead of eating processed food and switch soda to natural juice or water.
Stress vs acne
Story of my life, before my A-level exams my face looked like pizza. I went to a dermatologist, spent money to hear that only Accutane therapy will work on my skin. Somehow, my skin is almost full clean now and I didn't need Accutane. Cutting the stress from life can change your skin but also health and your mood. I do not recommend dropping out of school because belive me A-levels can be helpful in your life, but exercise, learn breathing method, do some yoga, find your way to relax. I like to drink green tea when I'm stressed. It's not worth it to stress but in current ages, living without any stress seems impossible.
Ingredients for teenage skin
Acne products for teenagers are usually based on ingredients such as Salicylic Acid, Benzoyl Peroxide, Calamine, Tea Tree Leaf Oil. And they are totally fine. I would recommend starting with milder treatments first since you might end up with burned skin - just like I did after my dermatologist decided to use Epiduo on my skin. Try to go for formulas with smaller amounts or even lack of Alcohol Denat and use foams with pH = 5.5. We do not want to dry your skin since your skin will end up producing more sebum to protect your skin. Remember about sunscreen - it will protect your skin from the damage since acne treatments & acids + sunscreen is the best combination ever.
Dictionary of ingredients used in products:
- Asiatic Acid: antioxidant, speeds up the healing process
- Asiaticoside: antioxidant, boosts the healing process
- Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour: anti-inflammatory ingredient
- Betaine Salicylate: a moisturizer and mild exfoliant
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract: Green Tea Extract, antioxidant, helpful for acne-prone skin
- Centella Asiatica Extract: anti-inflammatory, speeds up the healing process
- Glycolic Acid: α-Hydroxy Acid (AHA) - actually the best one if it comes to exfoliation
- Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract: brighten the skin and helps with inflammation
- Guaiazulene: blue pigment derived from Chamomile, has antimicrobial properties
- Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Leaf Extract: antibacterial and soothing
- Kaolin: type of clay, helps with maintaining your pores
- Lactic Acid: α-Hydroxy Acid (AHA), an exfoliant and moisturizer (in a low concentration)
- Madecassic Acid: antioxidant, regenerates the skin
- Mandelic Acid: α-Hydroxy Acid (AHA), an exfoliant and moisturizer (in a low concentration), can be helpful with keeping your pores clean
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil: Tea Tree Oil, antiseptic & antibacterial substance
- Niacinamide: Vitamin B3, helps with acne and post-acne scars/pigmentation, brightens the skin
- Papain: enzyme scrub (can cause allergic reactions)
- Propolis Extract: helpful with acne-prone skincare (can cause allergic reactions)
- Salicylic Acid: β-Hydroxy Acid (BHA), an exfoliant, it cleans the pores (can cause allergic reactions)
- Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract: antibacterial properties
- Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate: SAP, Vitamin C, brightens the skin and helps with acne
- Totarol: antibacterial properties
Accutane vs skincare
If you use Accutane, please, contact your dermatologist first. Accutane needs different skincare, instead of focusing on treatments with AHA, BHA, etc I would recommend choosing enzyme scrubs (because they are gentle to the skin), clay masks or moisturizing masks and moisturizers with ceramides, NMF, HA and Glycerin - we don't want to overdry the skin but make it stronger.
Products recommendation
I wanted to focus on products which I've tried, I won't recommend you products from a dermatologist because the majority of treatments I used were prescribed. These are the product which you can find online. I posted some affiliate links, I mark them with (*) - such links help me pay for the domain.
Be Plain BHA Peeling Ampoule
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, Methylpropanediol, Anthemis Nobilis Flower Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, C12-14 Pareth-12, Tromethamine, Carbomer, Salicylic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Disodium EDTA, 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin
Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Salicylic Acid
I barely talk about this ampoule since I plan to make a review of it once I try another Be Plain ampoule - Cica. It's a K-beauty brand with a very unique design. Why I've decided to choose this BHA treatment? Be Plain has the entire 4-week program and gives amazing tips on how to care for your skin.

Water, Lactic Acid, Vaccinium Myrtillus Fruit Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugar Cane) Extract, Citrus Aurantium Dulcis (Orange) Fruit Extract, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Fruit Extract, Acer Saccharum (Sugar Maple) Extract, Panthenol, PPG-26-Buteth-26, PEG-40 Hydrogenated castor oil, 1,2-Hexanediol, Sodium Lactate, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract, Dextrin, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Salicylic Acid.
Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Lactic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Salicylic Acid
This mask was recommended to me by @virulentiss on Instagram. I'm planning to test this version since according to Marta, this product helped her clean her skin but she uses it straight from the bottle. I recommend to test it first - if you can use it on your skin without mixing with water.
By Bi Beauty Detox Dust
Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Kaolin, Charcoal Powder, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Shell Powder, Acanthopanax Senticosus (Eleuthero) Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Seed Powder, Papain, Cymbopogon Martini Oil, Ribes Nigrum (Black Currant) Fruit Extract
Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Flour, Kaolin, Papain
I like clay masks because they can help you with your pores and they help you relax. Oat Flour helps with inflammation so it's a win-win situation. I know that some companies write stuff like "wait until the mask gets dry" but that's the biggest mistake you can do with clay mask - I recommend spraying the mask with mist. What I like about By Bi is the fact that you can mix the mask on your own my favourite mixture is Detox Dust mixed with couple drops of tea tree oil and rose water but you can mix it with a toner like iUnik Rose Toner.

 "Cosrx Balancium Comfort Ceramide Cream")

Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Niacinamide, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid
It's not an acne treatment, but usually, acne-prone skin = dehydrated skin. Even 10 years ago people treated acne with alcohol. Why? Because they wanted to remove the entire oil from the skin, it's not a good idea since when skin gets dehydrated it'll produce more sebum to protect the skin. That's why good moisturizer is a must! Go for Cica ingredients, Ceramides and Cholesterol - they help maintain healthy lipid barrier.

I feel like I don't have to introduce you to this cleanser. COSRX Low pH Cleansing Gel is so popular because it helps you maintain the ideal skin pH. Some researches link acne with pH. Ideal pH for the skin is somewhere between 4,2 to 5,7 (depends on source) but acne loves pH around 6-7, it grows the best in such pH that's why we need to maintain the ideal skin pH by using cleansers with pH around 5,5 (remember! don't use soap, soaps usually have pH around 9).

Previously named Leegeehaam, now it's Dr.Ceuracle, unfortunately, the name isn't the only change in this ampoule. The new version has less propolis but it's still a product which I like. Propolis might be used more like a herbal medicine/traditional medicine but I can't deny - it helped me with my acne.

I kinda feel stupid since I thought it's a clay cleanser but it's not. I have to admit - I go for Heimish Cleanser more often than I choose COSRX. The scent of this cleanser is delicate and it seems to be more suitable for sensitive skin + it usually costs less than COSRX.

Hydration is very important for every skin type. I do not like scented skincare products that's why Klairs toner was a good choice for me. It lasts more than 6 months - you can even use it for sheet masking (you need thin cleansing pads to soak them in the toner and use it as a toner mask). I wouldn't recommend it for a toner layering but for every day use it's perfect.

Spot Cleaner and Spot Ampoule are sold together. It's my favourite Neogen product for acne-prone skin. It's a painless method and it won't leave any calamine on your skin that's why in some situation I choose this set over Calamine solutions on a single pimple.

Another pore mask, this time it's a mix of bubble mask and clay mask. It's the mildest bubble mask I've ever tried but at the same time on of my favourites. The formula is heavy but during the acne attack is my 2nd favourite option besides DIY clay masks.

Olivarrier Fluid Oil Squalane
Squalane (100% plant squalane)
Squalane is the safest oil you can use on your skin - it shouldn't give any bad reactions to your skin. It's an olive derived vegan squalane, the treatment is lightweight and it's a good moisturizer.

Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Kaolin, Honey
This Origins mask has such a heavy scent and bit glowy texture. Still, I believe it's a mask which I can recommend since it contains Bentonite and Montmorillonite + honey. Even if the home is more like a home treatment I like that brands are choosing honey in acne-prone skin care. It's not a mask for sensitive skin and remember that not every skin likes essential oils.

Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Snail Secretion Filtrate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract
Snails might sound weird and freak you out but Snail Filtrate can improve your skin. The texture kinda reminds the snail mucin but the scent is like smelling some flowers. It's not a product which I would recommend for fungal acne since fungal acne loves ferments.

Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Centella Asiatica Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Salicylic Acid
Acne patches are usually thick, if you need a protective layer between your pimple and makeup - shield gel is an answer. It needs some time to make a nice layer and peeling it off is a great feeling.

Ingredients good for acne-prone skin: Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil
Why would I recommend a product with Alcohol in 1st place? Because this is the tea tree oil which I believe you can find all around the world. Tea Tree Oil shouldn't be used straight on your skin but you can add it to your moisturizer or mask.

Couple words
I hope these products will work for you just like they did on my skin. I tried to highlight only products that can be affordable so you won't see here a recommendation of Troiareuke treatment and many other products but if you're interested - you can search them through hashtag "skincare" or "acne". There's also no Effaclar from La Roche Posay - it's a cult series just like Bioderma Sebium, but honestly, they didn't work for me that's why I didn't focus on them. I'm aware that teenage acne skincare can be expensive that's why I've got something for you - there's a special PROMOCODE part on Kherblog, I'm trying to update it almost every day so feel free to use :)
