Care tips for acne-prone skin

Contrary to popular belief, acne can occur at any age. The fundamental mechanism here is the excessive synthesis of sebum in the skin and the presence of porous skin structure. Our goal should be to reduce sebum, or oil synthesis, and tighten the pores.

To reduce sebum synthesis, we can use carbon peeling, TMC peeling, and retinoic acid serums. Fractional lasers are among the most successful treatments for pore tightening. Of course, carbon peeling and retinoic acid serums can also be beneficial.

Among the serums we should include in our acne-prone skincare routine are niacinamide, salicylic acid, and vitamin C. In your nighttime routine, retinoic acid can be used every other day, while vitamin C and niacinamide can be used alternately in the mornings. Salicylic acid is particularly effective for acne in this condition due to its antibacterial properties and can be added to the daily routine.

Treatment options determined according to the individual's needs should be monitored by your dermatologist. Because your needs a few months from now may not be the same as at the beginning. Especially oil-based serums can cause pore blockages and subsequently lead to acne instead of healing. It is important to be cautious.

In conclusion, each skin type and its needs are different. Thanks to advancing technologies and medications, acne has become a non-issue in modern times. Your dermatologist will choose the most suitable treatment and care recommendations for you.
