How to Soothe Sensitive Acne-Prone Skin

If your skin reacts easily and breaks out frequently, a gentle skincare approach is crucial. This guide helps you calm redness and inflammation while fighting acne.

Step 1: Use Mild, Fragrance-Free Cleansers

Harsh ingredients worsen sensitivity. Choose sulfate-free, fragrance-free cleansers designed for sensitive skin.

Step 2: Avoid Physical Exfoliants

Scrubs can aggravate your skin. Instead, opt for gentle chemical exfoliants like low concentration AHAs or BHAs, patch testing first.

Step 3: Apply Soothing Ingredients

Look for skincare containing aloe vera, chamomile, or centella asiatica (cica) to calm irritation.

Step 4: Hydrate and Repair

Use moisturizers with ceramides and hyaluronic acid to restore your skin barrier and lock in moisture.

Step 5: Shield Your Skin

Sunscreen is a must to protect sensitive skin from UV damage and prevent pigmentation from acne scars.
