Acne & Breakouts

Breakouts happen when oil and dead skin block a follicle and bacteria multiply inside it. It is not a hygiene problem — scrubbing harder reliably makes it worse by damaging the barrier and driving more oil.

What actually helps
  • A gentle cleanser twice daily. Harsh washing worsens the cycle.
  • Niacinamide or salicylic acid to regulate oil and keep follicles clear.
  • Daily sunscreen — otherwise the marks left behind darken and linger for months.
  • Consistency for eight to twelve weeks. Skin turns over roughly monthly.
