Acne Treatment No. 2: Salicylic Acid
Acne Treatment No. 2: Salicylic Acid Salicylic acid, also known as beta hydroxy acid (BHA), is one of those multitasking skin care ingredients that can seem like magic. It opens clogged pores, neutralizes bacteria within and helps constrict pore diameter, which keeps pores from clogging up again. For an over-the-counter blemish buster, look for a concentration of 2 percent salicylic acid. "For many patients, if your breakouts are not causing scarring, this may be all the treatment that's needed," says Day.

Try: Philosophy Clear Days Ahead Fast-Acting Salicylic Acid Spot Treatment, $18. Or try Olay Fresh Effects Clear Skin Spot Zinger, $7.99.
