Acne Products Review

Versed released a few acne-fighting products last month and they sent me a couple to test out, and spoiler alert, they're pretty dang good!

They released a cleanser, a body mist, and a spot treatment; I will be talking about the cleanser and the body mist today. Disclaimer, I don’t really get severe acne anymore because thanks to the skincare gods, I was able to help clear my skin by doing the 10-step Korean skincare routine years ago. BUT I do suffer from hormonal acne so I was still able to test out these products fairly! Also, I have “bac-ne”, aka, back acne, which is soooo not cute, so I love that I still got to experiment with their new mist!

You know when a product is named very appropriately because the name does exactly what it says; this is one of those times. The first time I tried this product, I had a breakout that was just starting to come alive, but because I used this cleanser, it was gone the next day. The pimple didn’t even get to live! Because of that, I knew this product was going to do wonders for me when I do experience bad skin days!

Cystic Hormonal Acne Treatment With Kiehl's

Most acne cleansers feel drying after every wash but not this one! I find my whole cleansing experience very pleasant from start to finish. This Keep The Peace cleanser contains 1.5% Salicylic acid, an ingredient known for killing breakouts without stripping your skin of its natural oils, apple fruit extract that acts as an exfoliant to help remove any buildup that can contribute to breakouts, and blue tansy, a natural antioxidant that helps soothe irritated skin. And did I mention the super cute blue shade of this product? 😍 As always, this product contains no harmful chemicals, like all the other Versed products.

If you whispered “finally” or “hallelujah” when you read or heard about this product, SAME! Maybe I just live under a rock and have not heard of acne products for my body, but when I received this in the mail, it felt like my unheard prayers have been answered!

If you combine 2% Salicylic Acid, tea tree oil, and witch hazel, what do you get? A powerful acne-fighting product that’s still gentle on the skin! The trio fights bacteria, controls excess oil, calms inflammation, and soothes redness. I have been using this after every shower since I got it and I did notice that my body acne has calmed down a lot! I also get random itches around my butt area and since using this, those went away as well! This bottle releases the most satisfying FINE mist that you’ll find yourself spraying more than you should! 😂 It has a cooling effect (great for summer), dries very fast and it’s not sticky or oily at all. It feels just like water! The website mentions that it’s also great for post-workout sessions.

Though everyone's skin is different, sometimes what works for one person might just work for you, too. When there are hundreds or even thousands of reviews that tout similar success stories, it's a good sign you should try the product.

The following cleansers, masks, spot treatments, and tools have earned their places at the top of bestseller lists because they're just plain effective. Some are admittedly pricey investments, while others only cost less than $10, so whatever your budget, you'll be able to find a top-rated acne product for you.

Exposed Skincare Acne Treatment System: First Impression Review

Differin Gel is a prescription-strength acne treatment that, until recently, you needed a prescription to get. Reviews senior reporter Mara Leighton swears by this over-the-counter treatment. The gel contains a powerful retinoid that fights blackheads and whiteheads and prevents future blemishes. It's anti-inflammatory, so it reduces redness and swelling. Plus, it helps skin cell turnover, meaning pores are less likely to get clogged in the first place.

The Ordinary Niacinamide 10% + Zinc 1% is an effective serum with a surprisingly high concentration of active ingredients for such an affordable price, earning our pick as the best budget niacinamide serum. The 10% niacinamide combined with zinc makes this a great choice if you tend to have breakouts all over. It helps cut down on excess oil production while minimizing the appearance of pores.

This award-winning pimple patch is also a winner in our book. Smaller than a penny, the hydrocolloid sticker shrinks zits in just six hours. Stick it on before bedtime, and you're on the fast track to flattening and healing your pimple.

La Roche Posay's Powerful Dual Action Acne Treatment Tamed My Breakouts

This glowing review by senior reporter Mara Leighton confirms that this affordable clay mask is no ordinary mask. Keep it on for five to 10 minutes and it draws out impurities to make your skin clearer and smoother.

Acne sufferers have noticed a marked reduction in the number of breakouts after consistent use of this gentle serum. The great part is that it's not only for acne — it also helps with fine lines, wrinkles, dark spots, and sun spots. If you are just looking to delve into the world of vitamin C serums for glowy skin, former Reviews reporter Remi Rosmarin thinks TruSkin Naturals will do the trick.

If you have to deal with deep, painful cystic acne, you'll appreciate this tea tree oil treatment designed for sensitive skin. The tea tree oil dries out the gunk in your pimples without drying out your actual skin.

The powerful drying lotion has been described as magicfor zapping whiteheads overnight. Dab a bit on your whitehead and it should be gone in the morning. A little goes a long way and the bottle can last you half a year.

Based on the before-and-after photos, this treatment proves benzoyl peroxide will almost always be a good solution for moderate and severe acne. However, it contains a high concentration of the medication, so if you have sensitive skin, you might want to steer clear.

Like the Aztec Healing Mask, TreeActiv's treatment containsbentonite clay to reduce inflammation and detoxify your skin. It also contains pink grapefruit essential oil and witch hazel to reduce swelling and balance oil production. Though the container is small, it's very effective.
