Best Acne Treatments for Sensitive Skin
Struggling with breakouts and sensitive skin? You're not alone. Treating acne is tricky enough—but when your skin reacts to almost everything, finding the right solution can feel impossible.
At Skin Junkies Studio in Newport Beach, we specialize in acne care that’s both effective and gentle. Our goal? To help you clear breakouts without triggering irritation, dryness, or inflammation.
Why Sensitive Skin Needs a Different Acne Approach
Most over-the-counter acne treatments are designed for oily, resilient skin. But if your skin is easily irritated, red, or reactive, traditional acne products (think strong acids or harsh scrubs) can do more harm than good.
That’s why our approach focuses on calming the skin barrier while treating the root causes of acne: clogged pores, bacteria, excess oil, and inflammation.
Our Favorite Acne-Safe Ingredients for Sensitive Skin
We carefully select ingredients that are both soothing and effective:
- Azelaic Acid: Fights acne-causing bacteria and redness with minimal irritation
- Niacinamide: A calming antioxidant that reduces inflammation and supports skin repair
- Lactic Acid: A gentle exfoliant that helps unclog pores without over-drying
- Green Tea Extract: Natural anti-inflammatory and antibacterial benefits
- Centella Asiatica (Cica): Soothes, heals, and strengthens compromised skin
In-Studio Treatments for Sensitive, Acne-Prone Skin
Our customized facials are designed to meet you where you are. That means:
- No harsh peels or overly aggressive treatments
- Acne-safe extractions to reduce congestion gently
- LED light therapy to calm inflammation and kill acne bacteria
- Barrier-focused serums and masks to protect and soothe
We build every facial around your current sensitivity level, breakouts, and skin history. You’ll leave feeling calmer, clearer, and more in control of your skin.
