Achieve Clear Skin With Paula's Choice Skincare Products For Acne-Prone Skin

What Causes Acne?

Acne occurs when the pores of your skin become blocked with oil, dead skin, or bacteria. Each pore is an opening to a follicle which contains hair and an oil gland. The oil gland helps keep skin soft and supple. When these glands produce too much oil, pores can become blocked, leading to the growth of bacteria, resulting in inflammation and acne breakouts.

What Are the Negative Effects of Acne?

Acne can have profound emotional and psychological effects, often leading to low self-esteem and anxiety, particularly in teenagers and young adults. The physical impact of acne includes persistent redness, scarring, and painful lesions that can be cosmetically distressing and difficult to manage. Managing acne through skincare can minimise these long-term impacts and improve quality of life.

Moisturizers

Moisturizers for acne-prone skin help hydrate and soothe the skin while balancing oil production to prevent new breakouts without clogging pores. Paula's Choice moisturizers are tailored solutions that address the needs of different skin types while combating acne. For instance, our CLEAR Oil-Free Moisturizer has niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and liquorice extract, ingredients known for their ability to regulate oil production, provide hydration, and reduce inflammation.

Serums

Serums for acne-prone skin deliver concentrated active ingredients to target and reduce inflammation, clear pores, and promote faster healing of blemishes. One such potent solution is our CALM Repairing Serum that helps soothe and rejuvenate acne-prone skin. This skincare product contains hyaluronic acid, which provides deep hydration to help heal and prevent the formation of acne scars. Ceramides strengthen the skin's barrier, protecting against environmental triggers of acne, while a blend of plant extracts calms inflammation and redness.

Exfoliants

Exfoliants help to unclog pores, remove dead skin cells, and reduce inflammation, promoting clearer and smoother skin. Our comprehensive range of exfoliants includes BHA exfoliants in liquid, gel, and lotion form, ideal for daily use to clear and minimise pores. For instance, our SKIN PERFECTING 25% AHA + 2% BHA Exfoliant Peel targets deeper skin layers for a more intense treatment. For those with sensitive skin, our CALM 1% BHA Sensitive Skin Exfoliant provides gentle yet effective exfoliation, ensuring that even the most delicate skin can enjoy the benefits of a clearer, smoother complexion without irritation.

Creams

Creams work to hydrate and soothe, while delivering active ingredients that combat acne bacteria and reduce inflammation without blocking pores. Our CLEAR Ultra-Light Daily Hydrating Fluid SPF 30+ is one such expertly formulated cream that helps protect and nourish acne-prone skin while addressing sun exposure, which can exacerbate skin issues. This hydrating skincare product features green tea and chamomile, which soothe inflammation and calm irritated skin. Antioxidant-rich pomegranate and goji extracts provide added protection against environmental damage and help to maintain the skin's overall health and resilience.
