Breakouts start when excess oil and dead skin cells block pores. Bacteria and inflammation then turn those blockages into spots. Hormones, stress and heavy products can all play a part, which is why blemishes often cluster on the chin, jaw, forehead or back.
Keep the routine simple: a gentle gel cleanser morning and night, one targeted serum, a light moisturiser and daily SPF. Scrubbing harder or layering several strong actives usually makes things worse. Environ Clarity+, NeoStrata Clarify and Dermalogica Active Clearing are good places to start.
If breakouts are painful, leave marks or scars, or are knocking your confidence, see your GP or a dermatologist. Skincare works best alongside professional advice, not instead of it.
