Acne & Pimples

Clear the congestion without stripping your skin raw.

Acne happens when oil and dead skin block a pore and bacteria multiply behind the blockage. Heat and humidity make it worse, which is why breakouts spike in Karachi summers. Scrubbing harder is the most common mistake — it damages the barrier and the skin responds by producing more oil.

A workable routine is short: a gentle cleanser twice a day, one active ingredient such as niacinamide or benzoyl peroxide, a light non-comedogenic moisturiser, and daily sunscreen. Introduce one product at a time and give it six to eight weeks before judging it.

When to see a doctor

See a dermatologist if you have deep painful cysts, acne that is already scarring, or no improvement after eight weeks of consistent over-the-counter care. Prescription treatment works, and starting it earlier means less permanent marking.
