Spot & Acne Cream

Salicylic acid is a common ingredient in spot and acne creams. It works by opening up clogged pores and neutralizeing the bacteria inside. It also helps reduce the size of the pores, which stops them from clogging up again.

Which spot or acne cream is best for me?

A cream containing salicylic acid is adequate for everyday spots and mild blemishing, especially when combined with a salicylic acid facewash.

Mild to moderate cases of acne vulgaris respond best to a 2.5-5% concentration benzoyl peroxide acne cream. People with severe acne, may wish to consider a 5-10% benzoyl peroxide product, but it is best to seek advice first from a medical professional.
