Whiteheads Best Acne Treatment: Salicylic Acid
Product Pick: Murad Rapid Relief Acne Spot Treatment, $22
Salicylic acid helps to unclog pores and, when used continuously (which is recommended by most dermatologists), it can help prevent new lesions from popping up. Most salicylic acid products on the market contain a maximum strength of two percent. This acne-fighter will help to reduce the blemish size and the redness around it, plus it will suck up any excess oil in the area while helping to reduce future breakouts. Salicylic acid can be drying, so follow it up with a good moisturizer or face oil, or look for the ingredient in a face wash instead of a leave-on treatment.
