Dealing with breakouts can be frustrating and often requires a multi-faceted approach to
achieve clear, healthy skin. From diligent at-home routines to in-office treatments, combating
acne involves a blend of beneficial therapies.

A cornerstone of any anti-acne regimen, diligent cleansing is crucial. I always recommend
double cleansing. Double cleansing is the process of cleansing twice, first to remove makeup,
sunscreen, dirt, and oil. The second cleanse deeply cleanses your skin. My favorite acne
cleanser, perfect for a second cleanse, is our Brooke Nix 5% BPO Cleanser. With its benzoyl
peroxide formulation, it penetrates deep into pores, combating acne-causing bacteria and
reducing inflammation. Regular use helps to keep breakouts at bay and promotes clearer skin
over time.

For a targeted spot treatment, Brooke Nix Acne Cream offers a potent blend of benzoyl peroxide
designed to swiftly tackle stubborn blemishes. Its formulation helps to dry up existing acne and
reduce inflammation making it an essential addition to your anti-acne routine.
To tone the skin, our Brooke Nix Acne Pads are a convenient option. Infused with salicylic acid,
they gently exfoliate the skin, remove excess oil, and unclog pores. These pads help brighten
hyperpigmentation from previous breakouts and help to prevent breakouts before they start,
keeping your skin fresh and clear.

While at-home care is essential, in-office treatments can offer a deeper level of care and
expertise. Acne Facials are tailored to cleanse, extract, and soothe the skin, providing a deep
cleaning and addressing your specific acne concerns.

For those seeking more intensive solutions, treatments like Diamond Glow and Chemical Peels
offer transformative results. Diamond Glow gently exfoliates and extracts impurities while
infusing the skin with nourishing serums, promoting a radiant complexion. This is a great option
for sensitive skin or non-inflamed acne. Chemical peels, on the other hand, work to renew the
skin’s surface, reducing acne scars and minimizing active breakouts over time. While this option
is more invasive, we have peels of all strengths and your provider can assist in choosing the
best one for you!

Achieving clear, acne-free skin requires consistency and a comprehensive approach. In
conclusion, battling breakouts is a journey that demands dedication and the right tools. With a
blend of a proactive skincare routine and in-office treatments, achieving clear, radiant skin is
within reach.
