6 Acne Treatments Our Editors Swear By

THIS EXFOLIATING FACE WASH

"I've tried so many acne cleansers in the past and they've always left my skin dry and flaky, but Avène's gentle formula does exactly the opposite. It has 2 percent salicylic acid to degunk pores and keep the cystic acne around my chin from flaring, and it's also filled with hydrators to keep my skin barrier intact."

-DAISY MALDONADO, ASSOCIATE SHOPPING EDITOR Avène Cleanance Acne Medicated Clearing Gel Cleanser, $21, ulta.com

THIS SPOT TREATMENT FOR WHITEHEADS

"File this liquid pimple patch under genius. It shrinks my whiteheads into nonexistence and fades my postinflammatory hyperpigmentation. Plus, it can be worn seamlessly under makeup since it dries down completely clear."

-JULEE WILSON, BEAUTY EDITOR-AT-LARGE Kiehl's Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch With Salicylic Acid, $30, kiehls.com
