Acne | Blemished skin

Acne is caused by excessive sebum production, clogged pores and the accumulation of bacteria on the skin. Hormonal changes and genetic factors also play a role.

A successful acne treatment starts with a well thought-out treatment plan. Preparatory steps such as thorough washing, peeling and degreasing of the skin are important. Salicylic acid, a fat-soluble fruit acid that penetrates deep into the pores and cleanses them effectively, helps here. Retinol can also have a supportive effect, but a coordinated routine that balances the skin in the long term is crucial.

Daily sun protection not only protects against UV damage, but also helps to prevent pigmentation spots that can be caused by inflammation. Light, non-greasy formulations are particularly suitable.

Restoring the damaged skin barrier is more important than moisturizing. A healthy skin barrier reduces symptoms of dryness and protects against further inflammation. Oily products are generally not recommended as they can have a pro-inflammatory effect. Grease has nothing to do with moisture and should be specifically avoided in the case of acne.

Retinol can support the skin in cell renewal and reduce impurities, but is not a must. Regular use can improve acne scars, large pores and pigmentation spots, but should always be part of a coordinated skincare concept.

Acne scars can be treated with methods such as microneedling, a combination of radiofrequency and microneedling or subcision (removal of adhesions under the scars). A medical consultation is necessary to find the right method.

Yes, regular manual cleansing or hydrafacial treatments can help to clear pores and reduce acne. They should be considered as a supplement to a targeted skincare routine.

A combination of sun protection, salicylic acid and soothing active ingredients can help to prevent pigmentation spots caused by inflammation. Daily UV protection is particularly important to protect the skin.

A disturbed skin barrier can aggravate acne and rosacea. It is therefore important to strengthen the skin and reduce symptoms of dryness without stressing the skin by regreasing it. Products that help to restore the barrier function are crucial here.

A doctor can analyze the skin in detail and create individual treatment plans that go beyond skin care products. This may also include therapeutic measures such as bio-stimulator injections or targeted medical treatments.
