Can Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science be used if I have acne-prone skin?

Question

I want to avoid breaking out - is it okay to use the mist and serums? Could it even help with scarring etc?

Anna Chacon, MD, FAAD · Answer

Hello,

Thank you for your question. Hydrinity Accelerated Skin Science products, including their mists and serums, are generally designed to be gentle and hydrating, which can be beneficial for many skin types, including acne-prone skin. However, individual reactions can vary.

For acne-prone skin, it's important to consider the ingredients in the products. Look for non-comedogenic (won't clog pores) formulations and avoid heavy oils or ingredients that might exacerbate acne. Many hydrating products can help improve the skin's barrier function, potentially reducing irritation and inflammation associated with acne.

As for scarring, while Hydrinity products may help improve the overall hydration and appearance of your skin, treatments specifically targeted at acne scars, such as retinoids, chemical peels, or laser treatments, might be more effective.

To ensure these products are suitable for your specific skin type and concerns, I recommend conducting a patch test first. If you have any doubts or if your acne is severe, it's always best to consult with a dermatologist for personalized advice.
