Teen acne treatment focuses on reducing oil production, clearing clogged pores, and calming inflammation. Common approaches include gentle cleansers, over-the-counter topical products with ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, or adapalene, and establishing a consistent skincare routine. For moderate to severe acne, dermatologists may recommend prescription treatments such as topical or oral antibiotics, retinoids, or hormonal therapy (like birth control for females). In-office treatments like chemical peels, light therapy, or HydraFacial® can also help improve skin clarity. Early treatment is key to preventing scarring and building teen confidence.
