Day 2: Know Your Breakout Type

2 min

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

Look in the mirror. Identify what kind of breakouts you have. Write it down. This course's treatments will target your specific type.

Key Takeaway

Wrong treatment for the wrong breakout = no results. Match the active to the lesion type.
