Our Best Products for Congested Skin
How to Recognise Congestion:
You may notice clogged pores, a rough texture, or blackheads, especially around the T-zone. Skin may appear uneven or dull, and makeup may not sit as smoothly.
What Actives Are Needed to Treat Congestion:
Exfoliating acids, such as AHAs and salicylic acid (BHA), refine texture, clear congestion, and balance oil flow for a clearer complexion. By dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, they gently resurface the skin, preventing the buildup of sebum and debris while promoting healthy cell turnover.
