Skin experiencing breakouts, congestion or excess oil? Discover targeted skincare designed to clarify, balance and promote a clearer-looking complexion.
Breakouts can be frustrating at any age, and Farmers stocks a range of acne skincare designed to help manage blemish prone skin. From gentle cleansers to targeted treatments, our range includes ingredients like salicylic acid, tea tree oil and niacinamide, which may help with congestion, oiliness and the appearance of blemishes. It's worth remembering that everyone's skin reacts differently, so it can take some trial and error to find products that suit you.
A simple, consistent routine tends to work better than switching products too often, and it's a good idea to introduce new active ingredients gradually to avoid irritation. Alongside your skincare, factors like diet, stress and skincare habits, such as avoiding picking at blemishes, can also play a role in how your skin looks and feels. Browse our acne skincare range in-store or online to find products that fit your routine.
If you're dealing with regular breakouts, Farmers has a range of products designed for blemish prone skin, covering cleansers, spot treatments, moisturisers and masks. Many formulas use ingredients like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to help target excess oil and congestion, while lighter, oil free moisturisers can help hydrate skin without adding extra shine. Spot treatments and pimple patches can be handy for targeting individual blemishes as they appear, without needing to overhaul your entire routine. It's also worth using a gentle, non-abrasive cleanser twice a day and following up with sunscreen, since some acne treatments can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Our range includes options across different price points, so you can build a routine that works for your skin and your budget. Shop online or in-store to find products suited to blemish prone skin.
What ingredients are commonly used to treat acne prone skin?
Salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, niacinamide and tea tree oil are commonly used in acne skincare, as they may help reduce oiliness, unclog pores and calm inflammation.
Can moisturiser make acne worse?
A heavy or overly rich moisturiser can sometimes contribute to congestion, so it's often better to choose a lightweight, oil free formula if you're prone to breakouts.
How long does it take for acne skincare to work?
Most acne skincare needs at least four to six weeks of consistent use before you can properly judge whether it's helping.
Should you stop using all skincare if you have a breakout?
It's generally better to stick with a simple, gentle routine during a breakout rather than stopping skincare altogether, as this can help support the skin's barrier while it recovers.
