JAKARTA - In caring for acne skin, it must be done carefully. This is because if you choose the wrong skincare, the condition of the acne facial skin can get worse.

It should be noted that acne occurs because the pores are clogged by oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria. The clogged pores are then infected which ends in acne.

Porous porouss can then be infected with bacteria called Propionibacterium acnes. When this bacteria is trapped, it reproduces and triggers inflammation as well as the formation of papula and pustula," said dermatologist, Namita Jasani, quoted from Spire Health Care, Thursday, December 4, 2025.

With that, the choice of skincare for acne skin must focus on light basic ingredients. Skincare products are highly recommended to be water-based, because the formula is mild and does not clog pores.

"If you have oily skin or are prone to acne, a product made from water is usually a better choice because it is light and does not clog the pores," said cosmetics expert, Kupra Koestline.

Water-based skincare products usually contain the main ingredients such as water or natural ingredients such as aloe vera. This content makes the texture lighter and easily absorbed by the skin.

These products are usually mild and easy to absorb without leaving an oily feeling, added the dermatologist, banyak Graf.

Not only that, water-based skincare also has many other benefits. Starting from helping to maintain moisture and increase hydration, which is very important to calm the skin of acne.
