What Can I Do For Mild to Moderate Acne?

1. For mild acne: look for products that contain salicylic acid- this will help exfoliate the skin & help alleviate any bacteria that may reside at the surface.
2. Bionic polyhydroxy acid is great for sensitive skin! It is less invasive & helps with antiaging, moisturization, and contains antioxidants.
3. For moderate acne look for products that contain benzoyl peroxide 
4. Avoid any retinol products while pregnant, consult your doctor for use after birth- apply to any dark spots to even skin pigmentation.

1. Vitamin E is known as an antioxidant which helps reverse the effects of aging & promote skin regeneration
2. Alpha Hydroxyacid works on a cellular level to increase collagen production
3. Polyhydroxy Acid helps to lighten the appearance of stretch marks
