Let's talk acne !
Whether your skin has several white bumps, red pimples, or your nose is dotted with blackheads, you want to get rid of them—fast!
1. Whiteheads
White bumps on skin are another type of clogged pore.
They’re sometimes referred to as closed comedones because, unlike blackheads, the head of the white bump is covered by a thin layer of skin, so the contents aren’t exposed to the air so don’t oxidize.
Treatment : Bha or Aha exfoliant, Retinol.
2. Blackheads
Blackheads are "plugs" of sebum, skin cell buildup, and bacteria. Kind of like whiteheads.
Only, in the case of a blackhead, the comedo is open and the oil has oxidized, making it a darker color.
Treatment: Salicylic acid, Niacinamide + clay mask can help .
3. Papules are the most common type of pimples, and what most people tend to think of as acne or describe as “zits.”
These small to medium-size pimples look pink to slightly red, have a soft surface, and are filled with fluid and excess oil.
They can feel a bit sore when touched.
Treatment: Spot salyclic acid , regular use of Retinol, BHA, Niacinamide
4. Pustules
A pustule is what you're most likely to think of when you picture a pimple.
It's a zit that has come to a head, forming a white top.
Treatment : spot salycilic acid, Retinol,AHAs, Benzoyl Peroxide.
5. Cysts
They lie deep within the skin, are often caused by hormones, and occur when the pores become blocked and lead to infection.
Treatment : Retinol is the best ingredient with great result , other include regular use of AHA BHA acids,anti-inflammatory ingredients,antibiotic cream, gentle cleansing.
6. Nodules
Like cysts, nodular pimples are one of the most severe forms of acne.
They're slightly different in that they are not filled with pus like cystic pimples are. Instead, they form a hard bump deep within the skin and feel painful at the surface.
Treatment:Good skincare routine, regular use of exfoliation and Tretinoin works amazing but usually needs pretty intensive treatments, beeing one of the most stubborn type of acne.
