Acne treatments work through various mechanisms to target different aspects of the condition. Here are the primary ways they work:
Speeding Up Skin Cell Turnover
- Chemical peels and exfoliants containing salicylic acid or glycolic acid help remove dead skin cells from the surface.
Fighting Bacterial Infection
- Benzoyl peroxide, a common topical treatment, kills bacteria and has anti-inflammatory properties.
Reducing Inflammation
- Certain treatments like azelaic acid have both antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects.
Unclogging Pores
- Topical treatments containing salicylic acid penetrate the pores and help dissolve the substances that clog them.
- Mechanical treatments like microdermabrasion and professional extractions physically remove clogs from pores.
Common Acne Treatments
Topical Treatments:
- Benzoyl Peroxide
- Salicylic Acid
- Retinoids (Tretinoin, Adapalene)
- Antibiotics (Clindamycin, Erythromycin)
Procedural Treatments:
- Chemical Peels
- Laser and Light Therapy (e.g., Blue Light Therapy, Fraxel)
- Extraction of Blackheads and Whiteheads
- Microdermabrasion
Combination Therapy
Often, a combination of these treatments is used to achieve the best results, tailored to the individual’s specific type and severity of acne. Proper skincare routines, including gentle cleansing and moisturising, also play a crucial role in managing acne.
Acne can generally be divided into four degrees of severity that assess its complexity:
- White or blackheads: This constitutes the mildest form of acne and involves superficial blemishes without inflammation.
- Papulo-pustular acne: This represents a moderate form of acne where there is inflammation and the presence of pustules and bumps.
- Cystic or deep acne: This is a more severe form of acne where deeper cysts and inflammation are more prevalent and can cause pain and scarring.
- Acne congolbata: This is a particularly severe form of acne that involves deep inflammation and can lead to the formation of large and painful abscesses and fistulas.
Regardless of the type or severity of acne you experience, it’s important to know that there are treatment options that can clear up your acne and improve your skin condition. At Derma Solution, we specialise in finding the most suitable solution for your particular situation. We are here to provide you with the necessary treatment and guidance to fight acne and achieve healthier and more harmonious skin.
Acne can develop in various areas of the body, each with its unique characteristics and challenges for treatment. Here are the primary treatment areas for acne:
- Forehead, Cheeks, Nose, Chin: The most common areas for acne. Treatments may include topical creams, gels, or washes containing benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or retinoids.
- Upper and Lower Back: The skin on the back is thicker, and acne here often requires stronger treatments. Options include topical treatments, oral antibiotics, and in severe cases, isotretinoin.
- Upper Chest: Similar to back acne, chest acne may require a combination of topical treatments and oral medications.
- Upper Shoulders: Often treated with topical treatments and good hygiene practices to prevent sweat and oil buildup.
- Front and Back of Neck: Topical treatments are commonly used, and it’s important to avoid irritating the skin with tight collars.
- Jawline and Under Chin: This area is often associated with hormonal acne and may respond well to hormonal treatments in addition to topical therapies.
- Scalp and along Hairline: Treatment may include medicated shampoos and topical treatments. Ensuring hair products do not clog pores is also crucial.
- Buttocks: This type of acne can be managed with good hygiene, topical treatments, and in some cases, oral antibiotics.
- Upper Arms: Often treated similarly to back and chest acne, using topical treatments and ensuring the skin is kept clean and dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Common non-medical treatments for acne include proper skincare routines, dietary changes, and natural remedies. Some popular options are:
- Skincare routines: Using gentle cleansers, exfoliants, and non-comedogenic moisturizers.
- Dietary changes: Reducing sugar and dairy intake, eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
- Natural remedies: Applying tea tree oil, aloe vera, or honey masks.
Yes, stress can exacerbate acne. When stressed, the body produces more cortisol, which can increase oil production and inflammation in the skin, leading to breakouts. Managing stress through techniques like yoga, meditation, and regular exercise can help reduce acne.
It’s generally recommended to wash your face twice a day (morning and night) and after sweating. Over-washing can strip the skin of its natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation, which can worsen acne.
Yes, some effective ingredients include:
- Salicylic acid: A beta-hydroxy acid that helps exfoliate the skin and unclog pores.
- Benzoyl peroxide: Helps kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce inflammation (though it is somewhat medical, it is often available over-the-counter).
- Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs): Such as glycolic acid, which exfoliate the skin and promote cell turnover.
- Tea tree oil: A natural antiseptic that can reduce bacteria and inflammation.
Some natural remedies can be effective for mild acne. For example:
- Tea tree oil: Has antibacterial properties.
- Aloe vera: Soothes inflammation and promotes healing.
- Honey: Has antimicrobial and soothing properties. However, their effectiveness can vary from person to person.
Exfoliation can help remove dead skin cells and prevent clogged pores. However, it’s important to use gentle exfoliants and avoid over-exfoliating, which can irritate the skin and worsen acne. Chemical exfoliants (like AHAs and BHAs) are often gentler than physical exfoliants.
Staying hydrated is important for overall skin health. Drinking plenty of water helps maintain the skin’s moisture balance, preventing excessive oil production that can lead to acne.
Yes, several lifestyle changes can help:
- Maintaining a consistent skincare routine: Cleansing, moisturizing, and protecting your skin.
- Eating a balanced diet: Reducing sugar, refined carbs, and dairy.
- Managing stress: Through exercise, meditation, and adequate sleep.
- Avoiding touching your face: To reduce the transfer of bacteria and oils.
