We all get acne, even men. Yet women tend to have more opportunities to discuss their skin-care concerns and get educated on how to address them. When we opened up questions to male followers earlier this year, many of their concerns centered around acne. Men can use the same acne-fighting products as women. But to get them started on a good regimen, we asked our expert dermatologists and aestheticians what they’d recommend specifically for male acne and skin.
“When it comes to a man’s skin, one who shaves daily or every other day, coupled with acne, you are looking at very sensitive, inflamed skin,” says celebrity aesthetician Nerida Joy. “Fighting acne, I like to keep it simple. However, you do need a consistent and thorough regimen, especially when dealing with unpredictable acne breakouts.”
From the best face wash to blemish-busting patches, these are the products experts recommend most.
