Acne & Spot Treatment

This section groups products formulated for acne-prone skin, organised by format. Format matters here because a rinse-off cleanser and a leave-on gel behave differently even when they share an ingredient such as salicylic acid or tea tree.

Browse acne products by format

• Acne Cream & Gel — leave-on creams and gels applied to the whole area or to single spots.
• Acne Face Wash & Cleanser — rinse-off cleansers formulated for acne-prone skin.
• Acne Serum, Toner & Mask — leave-on serums, toners and masks for breakout-prone skin.
• Acne Patches — hydrocolloid patches applied over individual spots.

Comparing formats

Leave-on products stay on the skin and carry the higher concentrations; cleansers are rinsed off within a minute; patches cover a single spot. Many routines combine more than one format. Check the concentration on each product page, and speak to a registered doctor about persistent, painful or scarring acne.
