Best Skincare Products For Acne

Acne is one of the most common skin conditions, affecting millions of people each year - a huge number! However, just because it’s common, doesn’t mean we should *just deal* with it.

A variety of factors, including hormones, genetics, environment, stress, diet, and skincare habits can cause acne. There’s no one-size-fits-all fix to immediately solve your acne problem {or any skin concern for that matter}, but you *can* improve your skincare habits to minimize breakouts in the future. Today, I’m sharing some of my favorite products to combat acne. 

Best Cleanser For Acne

First order of business when breaking out? Double-cleansing! Washing your face twice helps assure that any pore-clogging makeup or toxins are removed from the skin. 

However, there’s a twist! Double cleansing can be harsh ONLY if you’re using an abrasive product. This is why I like to go for something gentle that won’t break the barrier of the skin or strip your skin of its good natural oils. I will always reach for Rhonda Allison Beta Green Tea Cleanser in this situation. 

 
 

Rhonda Allison Beta Green Tea Cleanser

This cleanser freshens the skin thoroughly, reducing excessive oils on the skin without stripping the skin of all the natural goodness that you actually need.

By using just the right amount of salicylic acid, this cleanser provides antifungal and antibacterial properties to help combat acne and rosacea-prone skin conditions. The green tea works to help brighten the face while providing a deep pore cleanse that will leave you looking fresh and glowy after every wash. 

Best Serum For Acne

Serums are one step of the skincare routine I never skip out on {Ok - I never skip any portion of my skincare routine}. Serums are formulated to help improve overall tone and texture while reducing breakouts and minimizing excess sebum production {which can clog pores}. After a double cleanse, I like to reach for a serum that works perfectly alongside it, Rhonda Allison’s Blemish Serum. 


Rhonda Allison Blemish Serum 

The Rhonda Allison Blemish Serum includes a blend of natural ingredients that will support problematic skin concerns gently AND effectively. It works to enhance the appearance of purity and clear the skin of blemishes.

This serum is also a multi-use product: 

  • It can be used after cleansing to cover your entire face

  • It can be used as a spot treatment to treat breakouts {the most common use}

  • OR, it can be blended with brightening products, moisturizers, or under masks as an enhancement.

The blend of salicylic acid, totarol, and green tea will work hard to rid your skin of blemishes, scarring, or discoloration from breakouts, without drying you out or getting rid of your natural glow.

Rhonda Allison Balancing Cocktail Serum

Saving the best for last, Rhonda Allison’s Balancing Cocktail Serum is formulated to combat hormonal acne directly. This product is made with high-quality grape seed oil, wild yam extract, and clary oil, which offer skin hydration and antioxidant support. The results? Reduced inflammation {goodbye, irritated skin} and overall, happier skin!

While this product works for all skin types, it can be a Godsend for those who tend to suffer from hormonal breakouts OR those in menopause. I recommend using this serum in the evening following your cleanse, toner, and lighter products. 

 
 

Best Acne Face Wipes

Whether you’ve just finished up a workout or you are *over* wearing makeup for the day, Rhonda Allison’s all-purpose cleansing pads are my GO-TO product. In addition to keeping them on hand for on-the-go situations, these also stay on my bathroom countertop as a last-step cleanse before putting on skincare products.

All Purpose Cleansing Pads

These cleansing pads are the perfect, quick solution to remove bacteria, dirt, or makeup from your face if you don’t have time to do a full cleanse. Throw these in your purse, gym bag or work bag as a just in case, especially if you’re prone to breakouts.

Similar to the blemish serum, these pads are formulated with a blend of totarol and salicylic acid to help reduce excess oils and other pore-clogging residues. After using these, your skin is left feeling refreshed and clean like you just washed your face. You will be obsessed after the first use - I promise!

**Bonus: These cleansing pads can also help combat butt acne (YEP, I said it)! It happens to the best of us, especially in the hot summer months. Apply in the AM or PM to help clear up any irritation or redness - You’ll thank me later!

 
 

Best Face Mask For Acne

I will always recommend a mask for any type of skincare needs. Not only do masks provide a concentrated treatment for whatever may be ailing you, but it can also provide an at-home spa experience. 

We should all be taking time for ourselves {self-care is my love language}, and what better way than with a mask? When I’m having a breakout, I tend to spend a little more time masking than usual. Rhonda Allison’s Wasabi mask is perfect to use once a week, and the benefits are endless!

Rhonda Allison Wasabi Mask

This wasabi mask is an active treatment for blemish-prone, rosacea skin. It helps boost circulation within the epidermis and reduce bacteria and inflammation - a huge win for Acne prone skin. It will help oxygenate the skin and promote healing for any active irritation. I recommend using this mask alongside your favorite movie on a Sunday night to start your week off right!

Up your mask game, by applying the product with our custom face mask brush! A face mask brush can be super beneficial to those who do suffer from acne-prone skin as it provides a more hygienic way to apply the product and will avoid contamination and germs that can be spread with your hands.
