Eye Cream for Acne Prone Skin...

916SKIN carries eye cream for acne prone skin. Our acne clinic is open by appointment. To purchase eye cream or schedule an acne consultation: 530.680.2027.

Skin Tinu discontinued their eye creams so we have introduced new eye treatments for our acne patients. Our Vitamin C products are great for smoothing fine lines and improving tone and evenness. I use my vitamin C every morning and every night.  I never go without it. And over the past year I have seen the lines around my eyes fade away!

How To Get Rid Of Acne...

At 916SKIN, we teach you how to get rid of acne through in-office acne treatments, medical-grade home care acne products, lifestyle changes, and hormonal guidance.
CONSULTATIONS: 530.680.2027

There are times when treating acne can be as simple as learning which acne products to use and how to use them. Treating acne is not a "one size fits all" solution. This is why certain acne systems work for some, but not for others. Your acne may require massive exfoliation while your friend's acne requires major antibacterial action. Everyone is different, and where ever you decide to go to seek help, you will want to make sure that the person treating you shares this philosophy.

Yes, picking can cause scarring! Picking can cause scars that may have never formed if left alone. I know it seems impossible to "not pick," but it will be a huge payoff in your future if you can just let it be.

Is PCA Active Sunscreen Good For Those With Acne?

If you are oily and prone to acne, PCA SKIN Active Sunscreen may feel great going on because it's so light and non-greasy, but beware, as great as this sunscreen feels it contains sodium chloride, and should be avoided by those with acne. If you have acne, try PCA Weightless protection instead.  It too is light, non-greasy, has a matte finish, and is perfect for acneic skin.

Weightless Protection is also available at our acne treatment center in Chico, 916SKIN.

Does PCA SKIN Acne Gel Work?

916SKIN - Acne, Skin & Wellness carries the full PCA SKIN cosmeceutical line with an exception of their acne care products including PCA SKIN Acne Gel.

Almost nothing works by itself. If you have acne - you need a system. Meaning, you need an entire home care regimen customized for your skin type and grade of acne. We have carefully selected acne products, in which each product is specifically formulated for different types of acne lesions. Acne products should not be one-size-fits-all. Different skin has different needs.

To schedule a consultation for our acne program please call 530.680.2027

Acne Products For My Face... On My Back?

At 916SKIN, we treat grades 1 through 4 acne vulgaris, which includes the treatment of body acne. 916 avoids the use prescription medications, and focuses on a more natural approach using cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals.

Can you use your acne products for your face on your back? Yes! But keep in mind that your back is much less sensitive than your face, and can tolerate stronger products. Often times, your back requires a different regimen than your face.

Keep your hands off your face!!!

At 916SKIN, we treat acne without the use of prescription medication. Our acne program is designed to get patients clear in 12 to 16 weeks.

Now, about keeping your hands off your face...
Treating acne is multi-factorial, and there are many things you can do to help control the disease. You can start by keeping your hands off of your face! Most of us don't realize just how much we touch our face throughout the day. When patients initially come into the clinic, I will point out that they keep touching their face. By the time their next visit rolls around, they often tell me they were surprised by how often they caught themselves touching their face once I brought it to their attention. We do it when we're nervous, when we study, when we have an itch, or sometimes for no reason at all.  Bacteria exists on your skin... and in your follicles (pores) no matter how well you cleanse, but keeping your hands off of your face is one more step you can take towards controling the bacteria, and controlling your acne.
