Acne can be frustrating, embarrassing, and even painful. Dr. Julie Jackson shares some tips to help treat your acne at home.

If inflammatory acne is present (red acne bumps and pustules), using a benzyl peroxide cleanser (such as the Caliderma Pumice Cleanser) can help reduce P. acnes, the bacteria linked to acne. However if white heads and black heads are more of an issue, a salicylic/glycolic acid wash (such as Skinceuticals LHA cleanser) may be helpful. And lastly to help the old acne marks resolve faster, be sure to wear a non-comedogenic sunscreen (like Elta UV Clear). Prescription treatments are also effective.

If you find yourself struggling with acne, Dr. Jackson is available for an online medical appointment to help you get your complexion clear once again!
