Acne Foaming Cream Cleanser ($16)
Skin Type: Acne-Prone
Texture: Cream-to-Foam
Benefits: “The key ingredient in this one is benzoyl peroxide, which is an awesome over-the-counter ingredient for acne, but it can be a little harsh on the skin, so mixing it into a hydrating cream—with hyaluronic acid, ceramides and niacinamide—makes it more tolerable for many users,” says Dr. Turegano. “The cream-to-foam texture potentially offsets some irritation, and the 4-percent benzoyl peroxide concentration is great for most skin types to clear existing acne breakouts, including blackheads, and help prevent new ones from forming. Do note, however, that benzoyl peroxide can have a bleaching effect on linens, so make sure to rinse it off thoroughly before bed so you don’t stain your pillowcase, and use white towels. And if you wash your back with it for bacne, make sure you don’t ruin your pajamas.”
