Acne happens when pores clog with oil and dead skin, bacteria grow, and inflammation follows — driven by hormones, humidity, sweat, and clogging products. There is no overnight cure, but a consistent routine clears most acne in 6–12 weeks.
What actually works
1. Gentle low-pH cleanser, twice a day — not harsh scrubbing. See which face wash.
2. Salicylic acid (BHA) — unclogs pores; a cleanser or 2% serum.
3. Niacinamide — controls oil, calms redness. See the serum guide.
4. Benzoyl peroxide or adapalene for stubborn/inflamed acne. See acne actives.
5. Light, oil-free moisturiser + daily sunscreen — drying skin out makes acne worse and leaves darker marks.

What to avoid
- Popping/squeezing — it spreads bacteria and causes dark marks and scars.
- Harsh scrubs and over-washing — strips skin, triggers more oil.
- "Fairness" or miracle acne creams — many contain steroids that flare acne long-term.
- Heavy oils and rich creams (can cause fungal acne in humidity — see fungal acne).
See a dermatologist if…
Acne is cystic, painful, or scarring — prescription treatment works and prevents permanent scars.
