BEST TREATMENT FOR INFLAMED ACNE      916SKIN - ACNE CLINIC

When treating inflamed acne, the very first step is to eliminate redness. When the skin is inflamed, it is easily irritated by acne products that are designed to shed the skin. The sooner you eliminate inflammation, the quicker you can begin using a more aggressive acne products.

Calendula, more commonly known as Marigold, is a popular medicinal herb from the daisy family. Used as an anti-inflammatory for many conditions, it is especially beneficial in reducing the redness associated with inflamed acne. Calendula in a gel form is soothing to the skin and very effective at treating inflamed acne. Calendula also comes in an alcohol-based tincture, which is not recommended as it over-dries the skin and exacerbate inflamed acne.
