9 best creams for problem skin

Problem skin, as a rule, has pronounced, visible imperfections and imperfections, and the wrong selection of care products can not only not improve, but also significantly aggravate its condition.

Problematic dry skin needs high-quality hydration and additional, enhanced nutrition. Oily – requires slightly drying, matting agents that regulate the production of sebum.

For problem skin, creams that have a gel texture that do not weigh down or clog pores are best.

It is desirable that the composition contains such components as: zinc, salicylic acid, glycerin, essential oils of tea tree, rosemary, juniper, which are capable of providing not only a temporary cosmetic, but also a healing effect.

Another important property of remedies for problematic epidermis is non-comedogenicity. There must be a note on the label about the comedogenicity level (ideally, it should be 0), since some oils (paraffin, petroleum jelly, mineral oils, grape seed oil, sweet almond and peach, fatty acids) can increase acne manifestations, creating an impenetrable film clogging pores.

Cream for problem skin should be closed from dust and bacteria; an airtight tube with a dispenser is best suited for this purpose.
