we've all dealt with breakouts

If you’ve ever asked yourself “why am I breaking out?” you’re not alone. Breakouts can be one of the most stubborn and challenging skin conditions to treat, with over half of people affected saying it considerably affects their confidence. Some of the most common acne triggers are chronic stress, hormonal fluctuations, puberty, environmental factors, uv exposure, lifestyle habits and diet.

While it’s really important we learn to love the skin we’re in at all stages, our skin is our largest organ and works hard to protect our body so we in turn should do our best to care for it. The first step to treating acne is understanding which type of acne we're experiencing.

inflammatory vs. non-inflammatory acne

  • inflammatory acne

    Inflammatory acne has three main types: papules, pustules, and nodules/cysts. Papules are small, reddish bumps that can feel rough and may appear alone or in clusters. Pustules are papules filled with yellow or white pus. Nodules are large, firm, painful bumps under the skin, while cysts are deeper and pus-filled.

    For Inflammatory acne, avoid exfoliation and extractions and instead spot treat affected areas and focus on soothing and calming the skin. Salicylic acid & niacinamide are great ingredients for treating this type of acne.

  • non-inflammatory acne

    Primarily includes two well-known types: whiteheads and blackheads. Both begin with a clogged pore but differ in appearance and composition.

    For blackheads, the pore remains slightly open, allowing the trapped sebum to oxidize and turn black. In contrast, whiteheads occur when the pore is closed off, trapping the sebum inside and keeping its natural yellowish or whitish color. When it comes to skincare, the best treatments for non-inflammatory acne are exfoliation, professional extractions, salicylic acid and masques.
