If you’ve ever battled acne, you know how tempting it can be to reach for the strongest cleanser or toner you can find. But strong, harsh ingredients often strip away your skin’s natural oils, leaving it dry, irritated, and even more prone to breakouts. The truth is, clear skin isn’t about aggression. It’s about balance. With the right acne skincare tips and a gentle acne treatment routine, you can achieve a clear, and hydrated complexion without over-drying your skin.
Our MediTouch® experts believe clear skin shouldn’t come at the cost of comfort. Here are five doctor recommended, naturally formulated ways to keep your skin smooth, healthy, and acne-free!
1. Choose a Gentle Cleanser That Balances, Not Strips
Many acne cleansers contain high concentrations of alcohol or sulfates that dry out your skin. Instead, look for naturally formulated, oil-free options that cleanse deeply while maintaining hydration.
Our Purifying Gel Cleanser is one of the best choices for a clear skin routine. It removes impurities, unclogs pores, and supports a balanced barrier without tightness or irritation. This step ensures that your skin stays refreshed, not dehydrated, after every wash.
Pro tip: Wash your face twice a day with lukewarm water. Hot water can further dry and inflame your skin.
2. Use Targeted Treatments Instead of Harsh All-Over Solutions
Spot treatments can be incredibly effective when used the right way. Applying strong formulas across your entire face can lead to redness and flaking, especially on sensitive areas.
Instead, apply concentrated acne-fighting serums like the Pore Clearing Serum directly to problem spots. It targets bacteria, reduces sebum levels, and minimizes post-acne marks. When paired with a hydrating moisturizer, this method treats breakouts efficiently while keeping the rest of your skin comfortable.
Why it works: Gentle acne treatment focuses on precision, not punishment, ensuring that healthy skin remains protected.
3. Hydrate Even When You Have Oily or Acne-Prone Skin
Skipping moisturizer is one of the biggest mistakes people make when dealing with acne. When the skin becomes too dry, it actually produces more oil, which can clog pores and trigger new breakouts.
Incorporating a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer like Skin Repair Moisturizer helps restore balance while calming redness and irritation. If your skin feels tight or flaky after cleansing, this is your signal to boost hydration.
4. Protect Your Skin from the Sun Every Day
Sun exposure can cause inflammation and dark spots, especially when you’re using exfoliating acids or acne treatments. Always finish your morning routine with an oil-free sunscreen that offers broad-spectrum protection.
For the best oil-free sun protection, try Sun Block SPF 45 Oil Free Broad Spectrum. It shields your skin without clogging pores or leaving a greasy residue. Consistent use prevents hyperpigmentation and supports a smoother, even complexion.
Quick reminder: Sun protection isn’t just for summers!
5. Exfoliate Gently and Regularly
Exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells that can trap oil and bacteria, but overdoing it can lead to irritation. Choose mild exfoliating treatments designed for acne-prone or sensitive skin.
The Dual Action AHA/BHA Acne Peel is a great example of a balanced exfoliator. It clears cellular debris, refines pores, and supports skin renewal within 24 hours while staying gentle enough for regular use.
Tip: Exfoliate 2–3 times a week to maintain smooth texture without stripping the skin barrier.
