ACNE & BLEMISH TREATMENTS

Acne and blemishes are primarily caused by clogged pores from excess oil production, dead skin cells, and bacteria. Hormonal changes, genetics, and environmental factors can also contribute. Products with ingredients like Salicylic Acid help address these root causes by unclogging pores and reducing inflammation.

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates pores to dissolve excess oil and dead skin cells. Regular use helps prevent clogged pores, reduces inflammation, and speeds up skin renewal for clearer, smoother skin.

Absolutely. Start with the Blue Herbal Acne Cleanser, follow with the Preventing Lotion, then spot-treat stubborn pimples with the Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch. Finish with your regular moisturizer and SPF in the morning. Always patch-test new combinations.

The Kiehl's Breakout Control Collection features targeted acne treatment products including the Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Pimple Patch with 2% Salicylic Acid, the Expertly Clear Acne Treatment Facial Lotion with 1.2% Salicylic Acid and 2% Niacinamide, and the Blemish-Treating Cleansing Paste that's clinically proven to reduce and prevent blemishes.

The Truly Targeted Pimple Patch can visibly calm pimple color in 2 hours and reduce pimple size in 24 hours, while the Expertly Clear lotion shows 100% acne clearing results in clinical 8-week studies when used consistently.
