Acne isn’t just a teen issue. It affects people of all ages and skin types. Whether it’s hormonal, stress-related, or caused by environmental factors, breakouts can be frustrating and persistent. The good news? With a strategic skincare routine that combines the right professional-grade products and treatments, clearer skin is within reach.
Acne responds best to consistency and a layered approach. More is not more. So gentle cleansing, deep exfoliation, active ingredients, hydration, and regular sessions with your favorite expert aesthetician is the most effective way to see results. Today we will discuss how we approach acne at DermaPrecision – by combining powerhouse medical grade skincare products with effective in-office clinical treatments.
1. The Foundation: Daily Skincare for Acne-Prone Skin
Alastin Gentle Cleanser
What it’s good for: Sensitive, acne-prone skin that needs a clean slate without being stripped.
This sulfate-free (no detergent) cleanser gently removes impurities, makeup, excess oil, and environmental toxins without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture barrier. Ideal for prepping the skin for active treatments and perfect for daily use.
SkinMedica AHA/BHA Exfoliating Cleanser
What it’s good for: Removing dead skin cells, unclogging pores, and improving overall texture.
Formulated with both alpha-hydroxy acids (like glycolic acid) and beta-hydroxy acid (salicylic acid), this exfoliating cleanser polishes the skin, promotes cell turnover, and keeps pores clear.
2. Targeted Treatment: Actively Fight Breakouts
SkinMedica Acne Clarifying Treatment
What it’s good for: Reducing active breakouts, inflammation, and preventing future pimples.
A powerful leave-on treatment with salicylic acid and niacinamide, this clarifying formula helps clear clogged pores, soothe redness, and balance oil production—all without over-drying.
SkinMedica HA⁵ Hydra Collagen Hydrator
What it’s good for: Long-lasting, deep hydration and improving skin texture without clogging pores. Powered by five different forms of hyaluronic acid, HA⁵ delivers immediate and continuous hydration. It plumps the skin, softens fine lines, and supports healing—especially important when using exfoliants or acne treatments that can be drying.
Cosmedix Harmonize Microbiome Boosting Moisturizer
What it’s good for: Restoring balance, calming irritation, and supporting healthy skin flora.
This lightweight, probiotic-infused moisturizer is perfect for acne-prone skin. It hydrates while helping to restore the skin’s microbiome, reducing inflammation and enhancing the skin’s natural defense system.
3. Professional Treatments: An Essential Component
BioRePeel
What it’s good for: Improving skin tone, texture, and acne scars with zero downtime.
A bi-phase peel with a mix of TCA, amino acids, and vitamins, BioRePeel works below the surface to stimulate collagen, control oil production, and reduce breakouts. It’s ideal for minimizing and controlling acne, hyperpigmentation, and post-acne scarring.
Acne Facial
What it’s good for: Deep cleansing, extractions, and calming the skin.
Customized to your skin’s needs, this facial helps unclog pores, reduce inflammation, and accelerate healing. It’s the perfect maintenance treatment to prevent future breakouts and keep the skin balanced and refreshed.
The DiamondGlow Treatment
What it’s good for: DiamondGlow is a non-invasive, customizable facial that deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and infuses the skin with targeted serums to address specific concerns—making it especially effective for acne-prone skin. When paired with the Pore-Purifying Serum, the treatment helps clear congested pores, reduce breakouts, and calm inflammation, promoting clearer and healthier skin. For those needing added hydration or focused skin barrier support, the HA⁵ Hyaluronic Acid serum can be used to deeply hydrate and plump the skin, enhancing smoothness and radiance. At your appointment, we will help determine which serum is best for your skin’s needs for optimal results.
