Retinoids

A topical retinoid cream, lotion, or gel is often the first line of acne treatment. A synthetic derivative of vitamin A, retinoids are known for their ability to reduce wrinkles and dark spots by stimulating collagen production. Some beauty products include retinoids for that reason. Murad Skin Perfecting Lotion is one of the best retinol treatments for acne.

Acne Risk Factors

Acne Risk Factors

Your risks for skin acne include:

  • Age. People of all ages can get acne, but it’s most common in teenagers. 
  • Hormonal changes. Such changes are common during puberty or pregnancy.
  • Family history. Genetics plays a role in acne. If both of your parents had acne, you’re likely to develop it too.
  • Greasy or oily substances. You may develop acne when your skin comes into contact with oil or oily lotions and creams.
  • Friction or pressure on your skin. This can be caused by items such as telephones, cellphones, helmets, tight collars, and backpacks.
