Breakouts this summer? Shrug it all off with Acnes

 

Summer may be the best season for epic adventures with the crew, but not really for acne-prone skin. All this Philippine heat and humidity are giving oily and irritated skin aka a foolproof recipe for a full-on breakout – yikes! 

 

With our skin needing extra care as the sun sizzles out, it’s a must to pick products that are specifically designed to fight breakouts. Let’s begin with our facial cleanser. Washing our face with ordinary soaps makes matters worse. Many contain strong chemicals that strip away the skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry and irritated. Ironically, this makes our skin think it’s deprived of oil and causes it to produce more, meaning greasy T-zone, clogged pores, and acne, of course.

 

It’s best to choose a cleanser formulated for oily and acne-prone skin like Acnes Creamy Wash from Japan’s no. 1 acne care brand Acnes. It’s so mild and gentle for sensitive skin by using an amino acid-based, soap-free formula. By staying close to the skin’s natural pH level, this facial wash ensures a thorough cleanse without stripping away moisture. It’s infused with Salicylic Acid (BHA) to unclog pores and fight acne as well as Butyl Avocadate for long-lasting oil control. With Centella Asiatica (Cica) extract as well as Vitamin C and E, this wash also soothes and repairs irritated skin.

 

Take it further and complete the range with other Cica-powered Acnes products that are equally backed by years of extensive research and formulated with Asian skin in mind. Follow through with the Powder Lotion that refines pores, brightens dull skin, and lightens acne marks. Pat on the Oil-Control Moisturizer for a finishing touch that leaves skin soft and plump.

 

Need to get rid of an annoying zit just before an upcoming barkada summer trip? Acnes gets it with the Anti-Acne Spot Gel that fights the root source of acne with 2% Sulphur and Salicylic Acid (BHA). Speed up healing by applying it 2-3 times daily to any inflamed pimple without pus and watch it shrink in just 3 days. For days that require quick fixes, tame a breakout with Anti-Acne Pimple Patch. It’s an ultra-thin hydrocolloid patch that treats pimples discreetly. Ready to wear even under makeup, the sweat-proof and breathable patch effectively absorbs pus and oil, while also serving as a protective barrier against bacteria and dirt.
