Most individuals with acne-prone skin are unaware that there are products specifically formulated for them to help assist in fighting breakouts and acne flares.

The advice provided in this article is informative only and is not a substitution for medical advice. If any of the over-the-counter products have been ineffective, it is best to seek individual-based medical advice from your dermatologist or primary care physician.

That said, here’s some of our advice on what to consider before purchasing your next moisturizer.

Quick summary

Before you buy: 3 Things to consider when purchasing skincare products for acne-prone skin

1. Find out if you have acne-prone skin

It is important to know if and when you may have acne-prone skin. While we all get pimples once in a while, if a problem becomes chronic and extends beyond an occasional blemish, you may have acne and acne-prone skin.

If you suffer from acne, and it affects your quality of life, you may need products that are targeted for acne-prone skin sufferers. This may also apply if you have oily skin or skin with excess oils that may lead to clogged pores and comedones (whiteheads or blackheads).

Several skin lesions are unique or are the definition of acne, including comedones, nodules, cysts, pustules, or inflammatory papules (pimples).

Determining what kind of acne you have and what kinds of skin lesions you make will help guide the best skincare regimen for your skin type.

2. If you are currently using over-the-counter treatments for acne-prone skin, do not add new products without the advice of a medical professional

To put it simply, if you are already on medical treatment for acne, including topical or oral and systemic medications, discuss the addition or change of an over-the-counter product with your dermatologist first.

Many products for acne-prone skin can be overly drying or even irritating, as many contain common ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide or salicylic acid.

While many skincare products purport to target or help acne-prone skin, it is important to seek a medical professional’s advice to see how it fits into your acne skincare regimen to minimize a bad reaction.

3. Choose what products you may benefit from

Depending on how bad your acne is or if you have acne-prone skin, you may need to switch or change your moisturizers and cleansers or add new products such as toners, serums, or creams.

Most people benefit from using a cleanser and moisturizer twice daily – morning and evening. For those with greater acne severity, they may benefit from a toner or prescription-strength treatment.

Most acne products are used in this order: cleanser, toner, moisturizer, and acne-targeted treatment. Now that you are familiar with acne-prone skin, we can dive into the best products for acne-prone skin.

The 5 best natural face moisturizers for acne-prone skin

Unique features:

• Fun brand
• Colorful minimalistic bottle
• Natural salicylic acid

The best moisturizer for:

Oily, acne-prone skin and those with dark spots.

Notable ingredients:

Willow bark, rosemary leaf, lemon fruit, sweet orange fruit, jojoba, willowherb

Overview:

We all crave clear glass-like skin. So the boscia Clear Complexion Moisturizer requires no introduction. It is specifically formulated for acne-prone skin types.

Now before you get excited, let’s see if it lives up to the name:

It contains willow bark extract (derived from the willow tree) to help prevent acne flare-ups. It does this by being a natural beta-hydroxy-acid and salicylic acid (salicin), which exfoliates the skin and dissolves pore-clogging impurities in the process. It has anti-inflammatory and anti-aging compounds that help reduce irritation and minimize dark spots from previous breakouts.(5)

Rosemary leaf extract is a good antibacterial that can fight acne-causing bacteria. It is an antioxidant with anti-aging benefits.(6) It also helps calm acne-induced inflammation and redness. Lemon fruit extract and sweet orange fruit provide natural chemical and enzymatic exfoliation that detoxifies the skin of toxins, accelerates the clearing of blemishes, and stimulates circulation.(7)

It has a lightweight texture, so it’s certainly geared towards oily, acne-prone skin types. On the other hand, I can’t say this is suitable for dry skin. It doesn’t provide as much hydration compared to other moisturizers on our list. If you are looking for a moisturizer with a similar texture that provides more hydration, consider the ZELEN Life Moisturizer. If you prefer a thicker texture for your very dry skin, then Philosophy’s Nature in a Jar might be for you.

Salicylic acid is very effective when treating acne-prone skin. Although this popular ingredient is considered safe, the potential drawback is that it can remove too much oil from the skin. This can lead to dryness and irritation in some people. The good thing about this product is that willow bark is a source of natural salicylic acid. So it is not as aggressive and does not have the same drying effect, meaning it is more tolerated by the skin. However, it can only ‘mimic’ salicylic acid and is not as effective in fighting acne as its synthetic counterpart.

Despite all of this, I still find the willow bark content in this product a little drying on my skin. This is also supported by other user reviews. So keep this is in mind. Another user mentioned that it seems to rub off under her makeup, but I have did not experience this issue. It is possible she applied too much of this moisturizer. 2-3 small pumps are all you need for full coverage.

I actually really like this cute blue pump bottle. boscia is certainly trying hard to be a fun-loving brand, and this moisturizer reflects that vibe. It also smells as good as it looks.

A quirky product with a nice formula, nice scent, and nice packaging. Inevitably, it will come with a higher price tag. But, I think it is deserving of your hard-earned money. You will not be disappointed with this product unless you have a dry, sensitive skin type.

Enjoy your clearer complexion!

Bottom line:

The Boscia Clear Complexion Moisturizer is a lightweight hydrator geared toward achieving a blemish-free complexion in acne-prone skin. It provides essential nourishment for the skin and controls breakouts with a natural formula to prevent unwanted irritation.

---

Unique features:

• Pure organic ingredients
• Made by hand
• Matte silver airless pump bottle and premium box

The best moisturizer for:

Men and women looking for clean skincare with organic ingredients and no chemicals. It is suitable for all skin types, particularly sensitive skin.

Notable ingredients:

Jojoba, calendula, clary sage.

Overview:

The ZELEN Life Moisturizer is the embodiment of natural skincare.

The beauty of being a clean, chemical-free product means it is extremely versatile and can be loved by everyone. The organic formula makes it suitable for all skin types, which includes those prone to acne.

Let’s take a look at the how and why:

Jojoba oil is an acne sufferer’s best friend. One of the main culprits of blemishes is when the sebaceous glands in the skin overproduce sebum (skin oil). Excess sebum leads to blocked pores, bacteria overgrowth and yes you guessed it, acne. Jojoba has a very clever composition. It can mimic the same structure of the sebum. So, when Jojoba oil is applied to the skin, it tricks the sebaceous glands.

It sends them a signal that the skin is well oiled and does not require any more sebum. These oil-regulating properties reduce the development of blemishes because the sebum is well balanced. Whatsmore, Jojoba is blessed with vitamins and antioxidants that boost moisture and also encourage skin repair and renewal. Not only is it an anti-acne powerhouse, but it also helps anti-aging.(1)

Clary sage is an antioxidant that helps target damage from the sun, adds protection against free radicals, thus prevents breakouts, and is also antimicrobial.(2) Calendula diminishes redness and reduces inflammation that can be caused by acne and is also antibacterial, antifungal, and anti-inflammatory.(3) This natural plant extract also provides photoprotection from UVA and B rays and acts best when combined with sunscreen for maximum sun protection factor.(3)

This is another lightweight, non-greasy moisturizer comparable to boscia’s Clear Complexion. However, as mentioned, it has stronger moisturizing capabilities. The trade-off is that boscia’s moisturizer does attack acne more aggressively, which some may prefer. But when you use products that risk causing dryness, you are essentially stripping the skin of its natural oils. This can lead to oil imbalance, and you guessed it, more breakouts. The ZELEN Life Moisturizer takes a different approach by focusing on conditioning and balancing the skin. It avoids unwanted dryness and skin irritations and thus, less inflammation and fewer pimples.

When I use this moisturizer, it absorbs fast and my skin feels well protected on the surface. It restores the skin barrier like you would expect from a real occlusive moisturizer. It makes for a great winter moisturizer and gives a mattifying effect, which is useful for makeup users who want to prime their skin.

It may be good for winter but it smells like a summer’s day. The scent is very fresh and very natural. No artificial fragrances are used in this product. If however, you prefer a stronger aroma to your moisturizer, check out ELEMIS’s Superfood Day Cream on our list.

This is a lovely product from the inside out. I very much enjoy looking at the bottle on my dresser. When you take off the matte-silver overcap, there is a very nice shiny silver pump system. The bottle itself is an airless container, which is a useful feature to prevent contamination in the product. Contamination often leads to bacteria growth and risks exacerbating acne-prone skin. So ZELEN Life has mitigated that risk.

However, if you are not worried about contamination and prefer your moisturizer in an open jar, Philosphy’s Nature in a Jar might be the one for you.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

The ZELEN Life Moisturizer is a versatile hydrator for all skin types. This ultra-light moisturizer is handmade with active botanicals that bring many benefits to skin that’s associated with acne. Its blend of organic jojoba, calendula, and clary sage balance sebum, decreases breakouts, and inflammation without drying agents.

Unique features:

• Contains superfood ingredients
• A prebiotic for your skin
• Bespoke green pump bottle

The best moisturizer for:

Combination skin, and for those wanting to promote the skin’s microbiome.

Notable ingredients:

Goji berry, matcha tea, ginger oil, cucumber, broccoli, daikon radish oil.

Overview:

Superfoods are all the rage. They undoubtedly provide nutritional health benefits. But, are superfoods equally as beneficial for your skin?

If ELEMIS’s superfood day cream moisturizer is anything to go by. The short answer is yes!

Now, here’s the long answer:

Goji berry extract is rich in antioxidants, sterols, essential fatty acids, and vitamins that protect the skin barrier with health benefits, and prevents damaging free radicals from attacking.(9) Ginger oil improves wound healing with its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.(8)

Matcha tea is another excellent anti-inflammatory that helps to soothe irritated skin and redness. Is used widely in dermatological and cosmeceutical products as a blemish banisher, and also helps conditions such as atopic dermatitis.(10) It can prevent premature aging and promote a clean, even complexion.

If this moisturizer was a meal, it would be enough for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. It also contains, cucumber, broccoli, and daikon radish oil that are all vitamin and antioxidant-rich that leave the skin in tip-top condition.

This superfood-packed blend is what ELEMIS describes as a “Pre-Biotic Day Cream”. In other words, its boosts microflora of the microbiome in the skin by feeding it with essential nutrients and antioxidants. A stronger microbiome and more protected skin barrier simply means healthier skin.

An important part of taking care of acne-prone skin is through good dietary habits and healthy nutrition. Studies suggest that bad intestinal flora caused by low-fiber high-fat diets can lead to inflammatory skin diseases.(20) Whatsmore, it has been determined that the gut microbiome is involved in acne, through interactions with the skin microbiome.(21)

Even though the skin microbiome is a reflection of bacterial imbalances in the gut. It is still advantageous to take care of the skin microbiome. This is what makes this moisturizer useful for acne-prone skin. Pre-biotics are good bacteria, and it is that balance that prevents an overgrowth of bad bacteria.

The cream itself is lightweight and non-greasy. I would say the texture is comparable with boscia’s Moisturizer. I also think it absorbs faster than ZELEN Life’s Moisturizer but it is slightly less hydrating. If you have super dry skin, I think Philosphy’s Moisturizer will be more beneficial to you.

Cost-wise it is the most expensive moisturizer on our list. The lime green packaging is very unique. I actually really like it and even more so from close up. Even though the bottle looks small in a digital photo, I can assure you it is 1.6 fl oz / 50ml, which is around the same size as ZELEN Life’s and boscia’s. However, it is smaller than Juice Beauty and Philosphy’s, which are both 2 fl oz / 60 ml.

The scent of this moisturizer makes it stand out from the crowd. Only you can decide whether that’s in a good or a bad way. For me, I am not a huge fan as it is quite strong. I have checked user reviews and others think the same. However, the comments are not unanimously negative. At first, it might smell a bit overpowering but you get used to it over time. If you are looking for a product with a lighter scent then the ZELEN Life Moisturizer or Juice Beauty’s Serum might be more suitable.

The superfood moisturizer also has a super price! It’s actually the most expensive option on our list. I do believe it represents value for money as it looks premium and has many unique characteristics. However, it is certainly not a budget pick.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

The ELEMIS Superfood Day Cream turns superfoods into skin foods. It is a pre-biotic day cream with antioxidants and vitamins geared to moisturize and balance skin with oils and a green complex. It improves the flora of the skin’s microbiome. The result is well-balanced, better-functioning skin. Sound news for those who are prone to acne!

Unique features:

• Interesting formula with an emphasis on nature
• Housed in an attractive looking jar
• Enironmentally conscious packaging

The best moisturizer for:

Dry and sensitive skin.

Notable ingredients:

Cica, shea butter, agave, prickly pear fruit extract.

Overview:

Next up is this moisturizing dynamo by Philosophy. Let’s consider if this really is “nature in a jar”, as the name suggests.

Is it made like mother nature?

Cica, also known as tiger grass, is a natural plant that tigers eat to gain strength and rub up against to heal wounds. Shea butter is from the nut of the African shea tree. It absorbs rapidly in the skin, is hydrating due to richness in fatty acids, and reinforces the skin barrier by providing hydration.(12) Prickly pear fruit extract (which has many names, such as cactus fruit, Indian fig, and opuntia) has been used historically in a variety of ailments. It is an antioxidant and also has antimicrobial and wound healing properties.(13) Agave is from semi-arid areas and is used as part of traditional medicine and food as an antioxidant as well.

Nature is not made up of chemicals. And just like nature, this moisturizer does not contain the most common nasties found in skincare today, such as sulfates, parabens, or phthalates. It also comes in eco-friendly packaging. The jar itself is partly made from recycled glass.

Does it smell like nature?

Well, it does. But I was expecting to be hit with a raw and rustic scent as I opened the jar. So in this department, the product doesn’t quite live up to its name. Overall, I’d say it’s fairly balanced and not very distinctive either way. If you are looking for a stronger scent, consider ELEMIS Superfood Day Cream. Or, if you prefer a light citrus scent, the ZELEN Life Moisturizer may suit you better.

In my opinion, this is not a moisturizer that you buy if you are looking to treat your blemishes. For that, I think there are better options on this list, such as boscia’s Clear Complexion Moisturizer or Juice Beauty’s Blemish Clearing Serum. But where I feel this product offers more than the others, is its nourishment and conditioning of the skin. If you suffer from acne due to dry, easily irritated skin that is prone to inflammation, this moisturizer may be for you.

The manufacturer claims it helps the skin by “reinforcing its natural resilience.” That’s quite a statement but I have to say they’ve done a good job. My skin feels well nourished and soothed, more protected, and less sensitive. Speaking as a dermatologist (who has also experienced their fair share of acne flare-ups), it is easy to overlook taking care of the skin’s overall tone and texture.

When breakouts happen, understandably our attention can get switched to attacking the live blemishes at all costs. Even during these moments of crisis, it is important to keep our skin well hydrated and conditioned to avoid future breakouts. This is where I can see this moisturizer helps the most, making it a good choice for acne sufferers with dry skin.

If on the other hand, you have oily skin, this thicker cream may be too heavy for you. You’d be better off with a lightweight moisturizer such as ZELEN Life, boscia, or ELEMIS.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

The Philosophy Nature in a Jar moisturizer functions as nourishing to the skin, improving tone and texture to restore its barrier and resilience. A good choice for conditioning dry skin to limit future breakouts.

Unique features:

• A thick serum
• Includes CoQ10
• Applies with a pipette

The best moisturizer for:

People struggling with blackheads and whiteheads.

Notable ingredients:

Willow bark extract, apple and lemon juice extract.

Overview:

Now, answer honestly. When thinking about your next moisturizer, do you ever consider a serum?

Having dominated the skincare industry for decades, moisturizing creams have become the norm. Before making a purchase many of us will compare the thickness or texture of certain creams. Some of us may consider a watery gel-based moisturizer instead. But, fewer of us think about serums.

What’s the difference?

Serums can be effective as they do not contain ‘sealing’ ingredients that a moisturizer uses to retain moisture in the skin. The benefit of not having these thick agents is that the active ingredients in serums can absorb better and penetrate your skin deeper. This delivers a higher amount of nutrients to skin cells where moisturizers struggle to get to.

So, here’s an option for all you serum lovers out there. Introducing: The Juice Beauty Blemish Clearing Serum.

Let’s look at its active ingredients:

It has apple and lemon extracts, which contain alpha-hydroxy acids that minimize pores and reduce bacteria associated with acne flares and blemishes. Lemon juice extract is an antioxidant that works in anti-aging (and acne scarring) by increasing skin turnover, improving blood flow, and hydrating skin.(15)

Similar to boscia’s moisturizer it contains willow bark extract, a natural ingredient with salicylic acid that is commonly used to exfoliate acne-prone skin. It has been used extensively for years as a well-known beta hydroxy acid in the treatment of mild acne and large pores. It is also an antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and prevents bacteria from contributing to acne flares.(16)

It also has aloe vera, vitamin C and Coenzyme Q10, which improve our overall skin health in many ways, such as helping to fight free radicals, repair damage, and promoting a smoother complexion.(17)(18)(19)

My thoughts:

This is a great option for those with acne-prone skin who have prior experience with serums. There is no questioning its ability to reduce breakouts as the active ingredients speak for themselves. The development of acne lesions does not just occur on the skin’s surface. Therefore, anything that can penetrate the deeper layers of the skin, such as this serum, will bring benefits.

However, I can’t say that this product is the ‘holy grail’. This is an intensive serum that may not be to everyone’s liking. It is quite thick and the texture can feel a little sticky at first. Even though serums are meant to absorb into your skin easier and faster, nothing is ever guaranteed. The saying, “if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it” comes to mind. If a lightweight moisturizing cream is what has always worked for you, then there are plenty of options on our list.

The good:

Things to think about:

Bottom line:

This is an excellent Blemish Clearing Serum by Juice Beauty for anyone struggling with comedonal acne – which includes whiteheads and blackheads. It is also helpful if you are struggling with mainstream zits and pimples that characterize more typical acne vulgaris.

Frequently asked questions

What is acne-prone skin?

Acne-prone skin is a skin type in which the skin is prone to pimples, zits, and acne flares more than normal skin types.

If persistent or uncontrolled acne is a problem for you, or if you experience more acne flares than you would typically consider normal in someone of your age group, you may likely suffer from acne-prone skin.

How should I manage acne-prone skin?

Skin types that are prone to acne should consider using products that are oil-free and non-comedogenic when choosing skincare and hair care products, makeup, and sunscreens.

Sometimes mild conditions can be controlled effectively with over-the-counter products. Regardless of whether you need prescription-strength treatments from a dermatologist or not, most people still need over-the-counter skincare products.

For example, sunscreen to prevent photodamage and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Also, serums and moisturizers to hydrate the skin effectively and avoid irritation.

These can be used alongside more aggressive prescription-strength treatments if needed, to complement a comprehensive skincare regimen.

What if my acne-prone skin is out of control?

Suppose you cannot control your skin effectively with over-the-counter products.

In that case, it is important to seek the advice of a medical professional such as a dermatologist, who may then consider prescription-strength products or medications to help you overcome this condition.

A dermatologist will also be able to evaluate your overall treatment regimen taking into account the over-the-counter and skincare products you already use and how these factor into your skincare regimen along with possible prescription therapies.

Conclusion

Acne-prone skin is one of the most common skin types and skin problems encountered. It can be found in anyone and is not unique to adolescence or youth.

Acne-prone skin is prevalent, and research continues to investigate the best ways to avoid acne flares and prevent flares of one of the most common skin concerns in people.

We have covered the most essential points to think about before buying skincare for acne-prone skin. Thus, it is important by assessing your skin: is your acne severe enough to be considered in the category of acne-prone skin? How bad are your blemishes, and how severe is your acne?

Being honest about your level of acne and whether you have acne-prone skin will help you choose what kind of skincare items you need to battle this condition as well as the best ingredients to fight it.

We have provided readers with tips to assist. It is important to understand that you do not need to suffer from breakouts, and you can find relief in acne-prone skincare. At the same time, it is also crucial to know when to seek professional help from a dermatologist if over-the-counter products are not enough as acne is one of the most common dermatological conditions we treat.
