Acne-Prone Skin

Winter makes this worse, not better: dry indoor air pulls moisture from skin, skin overproduces oil to compensate, and harsh acne products dry it out even more — so it breaks out again. The way out is gentle cleansing plus lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration, not stronger acids.
