YC Acne (Vitamin C Plus) Cream

Description

When your skin pores get clogged with dead skin cells and excess oil, it allows buildup of bacteria that leads to skin inflammation. First, you develop what’s known as comedonal acne (blackheads and whiteheads), which later turns into severe inflammatory forms such as pimples, nodules, and cysts.

A carefully crafted acne cream should be able to tackle most of these issues, if not all.

Pore Openers

First step towards success acne treatment is to unclog your skin pores. Cleansing is mostly the best option for opening your clogged skin pores. However, some creams for acne are good at doing this job themselves.

Salicylic acid is a time-tested pore opening ingredient. It’s been proven by several studiesas one of the most effective ingredients against comedonal acne.

Anti-Bacterial Agents

In order to remove inflammation from your skin, it’s important that you clear it off all acne causing bacteria.

Benzoyl peroxide is a proven ingredient in this regard because of its excellent anti-bacterial properties. Sulfur is another good anti-microbial agent that can help reducing skin inflammation. A good natural ingredient that many products (like this one) utilize for anti-bacteria properties is Tea Tree Oil. It’s effectiveness is well tested and it’s a good option for nature lovers.
