1. Cleaning
You can also opt for a tea tree facial cleanser with charcoal. It is particularly suitable as a shower product for cleansing acne on the face, back, or shoulders. The antibacterial and antifungal properties of tea tree oil [link to blog on the effects of tea tree] have proven effective in treating pimples and blackheads.
In a study comparing the effectiveness of 5% tea tree oil to benzoyl peroxide, the latter worked slightly better, but tea tree caused fewer side effects!
2. Grooming
An ideal skincare product for the best treatment of acne is a hydrating facial spray . For pimples and blemishes, we recommend an alcohol-free toner . After all, oily skin can also be dehydrated at the same time. Therefore, hydration is an important part of your skincare routine for acne-prone skin as well. Lavender is especially known for its calming effect on the skin. You can also use lavender water facial spray as a refresher throughout the day or as a light cleanser in the morning.
3. Protect & nourish
For the best nourishment and protection of acne-prone skin, choose a facial serum as part of your treatment. This hyaluronic acid serum with probiotics balances the skin, improves skin texture, and strengthens the skin barrier. Especially after an (overly) intense acne treatment, this cream helps the skin to quickly soothe and recover.
4. Peeling with salicylic acid and fruit acids
For the effective removal of dead skin cells, choose a facial peel . A good peel gently reduces impurities and clogged pores and improves skin texture. Flow AHA BHA peeling serum contains fruit acids (AHA) and salicylic acid (BHA) from natural sources. AHAs effectively exfoliate the skin surface and stimulate skin renewal. BHAs are fat-soluble. Due to this structure, they can penetrate the skin through sebaceous glands and deeply cleanse pores. This is why products with BHA work wonders in the treatment of oily and impure skin, such as with pimples, blemishes, or acne scars. Use this facial peel every other evening, or as an acne treatment, every evening for a month. Then take a break of at least a month before using it again.
5. Finish with facial oil
Even oily skin benefits from a nourishing oil. Flow detox oil is a dry face oil with Tea tree. This organic face oil, part of the best acne treatment, helps keep the skin elastic while removing and preventing impurities and blemishes.

Camouflage pimples
If you occasionally feel the need to camouflage imperfections such as pimples, always choose non-comedogenic organic makeup . Even though it is better not to wear any makeup at all over pimples and blemishes. Sometimes you just really want to, we get that ;-). Flow Cosmetics' mineral foundations are skin-caring and covering powders. They feel like a second skin, even out imperfections, and do not clog pores – ideal for acne-prone skin.
