- Benzoyl peroxide. The action is aimed at inhibiting bacteria that provoke acne inflammation.

- Use retinoids and benzoyl peroxide every other day.
- Apply an exfoliant with salicylic acid during the day, and retinol-containing preparations before bed.

Features of care
Skin cleansing
In order not to damage the already sensitive dermis with increased dryness, it is not recommended to use hard soap and other types of aggressive care products, for example, those containing sodium lauryl sulfate. This also applies to cases where dry acne appears on the body. Such substances only help if a person has oily or combination skin. In the case of dry dermis, the sebum secreted by the glands acts as a natural moisturizer, so do not wash it off. For increased dryness with acne, it is better to give preference to mousses and foams with surfactants.
Toning and exfoliation
To remove dirt from the pores, it is advisable to wipe the dermis with tonics, but you can only use those that do not contain alcohol.
If you are prone to acne due to dry skin, dermatologists recommend special tonics. Such products will cleanse pores of cosmetic residues and prevent the appearance of acne. But the tonic should not contain alcohol or menthol. Each of these substances dries out the skin. At the same time, dermatologists do not prohibit the use of soft scrubs made from apricot kernels or with BHA or AHA acids if dry acne appears on the face. But you should not use special brushes for these procedures, because they will damage the skin and aggravate the problem.
Hydration
Dry dermis needs constant nourishment, but you should not use greasy products, because they clog pores and cause even more acne. Moisturizing should be provided by light gel-based products with antioxidants. The day cream must contain an SPF component with protection from 30, since the sun's rays are harmful to dry skin. Products with mineral oils are not suitable for overdried dermis. Such components are not non-comedogenic, so acne does not go away, but new ones appear.
Pharmacy drugs

Folk recipes
Dermatologists do not recommend using cosmetics (powder, foundation) during treatment. It’s good to make masks from available ingredients, for example, a product made from laundry soap and salt. Use carefully for hypersensitive and damaged skin. Apply the product to a clean face for half an hour and rinse off.
