Combat acne with natural and organic products! These organic skincare products will clear your pores, fight bacteria, and help prevent and control breakouts.

Tea Tree Oil

Tea Tree Oil kills the bacteria that causes acne and breaks down the dirt that clogs your pores. It is also a great spot treatment for red pimples, since it controls swelling and helps it shrink faster. Since it can be drying, avoid combining this with retinol and salicylic acid. The combination of all three ingredients will irritate your skin! As a shout out, Body Shop Tea Tree Oil is a cult favorite.

Sulfur

Centuries-old remedy to control oily skin and pimples, Sulfur is perfect for oily skin as it draws out excess oil so your pores don’t get clogged.

If you’ve got oily skin, get sulfur soap or facial cleansers. If you’ve got sensitive skin, just look for this ingredient in spot treatments or clay masks. Try Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Mask.

Willow Bark Extract

This is the natural form of BHAs or salicylic acid, and is perfect for gentle daily exfoliation. It goes deep into your pores and breaks down the dirt and dead skin cells in your pores, and as such, prevents whiteheads and blackheads.

Willow bark extract also calms itchy and red skin, and keeps your skin at the right PH level. If your skin hass gotten red and irritated from harsh acne treatments, switch to sensitive skin products that have this super-gentle ingredient. Try Alba Botanica Acnedote Invisible Treatment gel, which won a Beauty Insider (Singapore) award in 2016.

Sage Extract

This is one of the best organic skin care ingredients for dry but acne-prone skin. It helps control redness and irritation while killing bacteria – but instead of drying out your skin, it actually moisturizes it! In fact, sage extract is often used in anti-aging products, because it fights free radicals and improves cell renewal.
