[Doctor's Column] Good Cosmetics and Prescription Ointment Ingredients for Acne Care

📌 1. What are the essential ingredients important for acne management?

Acne care The most basic ingredient !!

✔ Benzoyl Peroxide – Bacteria inhibition & inflammation relief
✔ Salicylic Acid – Exfoliation, removal of sebum from pores
✔ Retinoid ingredients – Promotes skin turnover (helps with medium- to long-term improvement)
✔ non-comedogenic

🧴 2. When choosing acne cosmetics?

✔ Key ingredient-centered

• Benzoyl Peroxide Cream/Gel – Target for inflammatory acne

• Salicylic Acid (BHA) Including Cleanser/Serum – Sebum & Exfoliation Management

• Non-comedogenic moisturizer – Moisturize while preventing breakouts

✔ Caution regarding improper product use

• harsh heavy makeup cleanser

• Alcohol-based toner that is too drying
  These products can break down the skin barrier and actually worsen acne.
