How to tackle adult acne
The oil on skin is made up of sebum (natural oil), and sweat, dead skin cells and more.

Step 1: Cleanse
Wet your face with warm water and lather your cleanser all over. Rinse well. The important acne-cleanser ingredients will stay behind to work their magic, but the cleanser’s foaming agents, as well as built-up oil, dead cells and bacteria will be rinsed away.
Step 2: Exfoliate
Exfoliating at least once a week is crucial. Whether physical or chemical, exfoliating sloughs away dead skin cells, removes impurities and helps firm, tighten and give you that radiant glow. Just don’t overdo it because too much exfoliation, or doing it too often, can make acne worse.

Step 3: Tone
Toners help replenish hydration lost during cleansing while also prepping skin to better absorb active ingredients found in serums, oils and moisturizers. Toners also help remove excess oil and balance your skin's pH, a vital aspect of preventing breakouts. Added benefit? They shrink pores, too.
Step 4: Serums
The best serums for acne combine moisturizing ingredients (like hyaluronic acid), redness-calming antioxidants (niacinamide) and acne-fighting powerhouses (retinol or glycolic acid). They’re formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients, reaching the skin’s deepest layers and making them invaluable in fighting breakouts.

Step 5: Moisturize
It might seem counterintuitive to moisturize oily skin, but acne-fighting products can leave skin feeling dry. Moisturizing counteracts that. Stick with creams and moisturizers with non-comedogenic ingredients—aka won’t clog pores. Fortunately, there are plenty of products that work wonders for hydrating without causing breakouts.
