Acne can cost you at more than just money. Consistently buying different products from the chemist that show no lasting results, acne needs a dedicated skin routine that takes time to show true results. Here’s our top 5 products for acne, spot prone or congested skin.

 

Cleanse

 

Every skin routine should start with a well-tailored cleanser.

Blocked pores spread bacteria and acne so it is vital that pores are kept clear. The exfoliating cleanser also contains Jojoba esters to exfoliate dead skin cells without drying out your skin. Vitamin E is an added antioxidant to help protect your skin from free radicals such as pollution.

 

Exfoliate

 

Exfoliating dead skin cells is essential to keep pores from becoming blocked. Adding in a manual exfoliant to physically buff away dead skin cells does wonders for your skin texture. You’ll notice that your serums and antioxidants go further on your skin after exfoliating your makeup goes on nicer. Dual action scrub contains larger exfoliants as well as added treatments such as salicylic and lactic acid. This exfoliant has the added benefits of treating and soothing your skin as you use it.
