Match the Treatment to the Breakout
Different types of acne need different treatments. Today, identify yours.
- Blackheads & whiteheads — small clogged pores, no inflammation. Treat with salicylic acid or adapalene.
- Papules — small red bumps, no pus. Treat with benzoyl peroxide and niacinamide.
- Pustules — red bumps with a white tip. Treat with benzoyl peroxide spot treatment.
- Cystic acne — deep, painful nodules under the skin. See a dermatologist — these need prescription help.
Today's Action

Key Takeaway
