ACNE & BREAKOUTS

Breakouts can be influenced by excess oil, clogged pores, inflammation, hormones, and other factors. Effective acne care should address breakouts without unnecessarily stripping or irritating the skin.

Target breakouts without over-treating the skin

Acne + Breakouts

Acne-prone skin is often sensitive, dehydrated, or reactive, making an overly aggressive routine counterproductive. A consistent and smart routine should help keep pores clear, address active breakouts, and support the skin barrier. Not sure where to start? Read our guide to the best products for acne-prone skin.

FAQ

Choose non-comedogenic products first - start by checking products for potentially pore-clogging ingredients using our Pore Clogger Checker. The majority of Biba Los Angeles products are formulated without known pore-clogging ingredients. Look for targeted acne ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide and mandelic acid, and choose products based on both your skin type and type of acne.

Not necessarily. Acne is a complex condition, and more exfoliation does not mean faster results. Over-exfoliation can increase inflammation, compromise the skin barrier, and worsen breakouts. Exfoliation should be adjusted to your skin type, acne type, tolerance, and the rest of your routine.Read more about treating acne without damaging your skin

Once pore-clogging ingredients and other acne triggers are removed from your routine, it typically takes60–90 daysto see significant clearing. Consistency is essential, and introducing new pore-clogging products can interfere with your progress. If you need help identifying triggers or choosing the right products, contact us.
