Common acne triggers and tips from Dr. Lyna Klinik Primer Nilam Puri

 

There are multiple causes that trigger acne. Here are the most common culprits:

 

a) Hormonal Fluctuations

Puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, and conditions like PCOS can spike androgen levels, increasing oil production and clogging pores2.

 

b) Diet

High glycemic foods (like white bread, sugary snacks) and dairy have been linked to acne flare-ups in many studies.

 

c) Cosmetic Products

Comedogenic makeup or skincare can block pores. Look for “non-comedogenic” labels to avoid this trigger.

 

d) Bacteria & Fungal and Clogged Pores

Dead skin cells, excess oil, and bacteria can combine to form pimples. Fungal also can cause acne. Please look for skincare that free from fungal acne triggers.

 

e) Friction & Pressure

Tight clothing, helmets, or masks can lead to acne caused by rubbing and sweat.

 

f) Environmental Factors

Humidity, pollution, and heat can aggravate acne-prone skin.


g) Stress

Elevated cortisol (the stress hormone) can increase oil production and inflammation, making breakouts worse.

 

What are the best skincare routines for acne-prone skin?

A well-structured skincare routine can make a huge difference for acne-prone skin. Dr. Lyna has her own skincare that suitable for acne-prone skin that balances treatment and prevention:

 

Morning Routine

Gentle Cleanser: Use a non-comedogenic, no fungal acne trigger, sulfate-free, paraben free and low pH cleanser to remove oil and impurities without stripping your skin. I will recommend DR. LYNA AESTHETIC FORMULA- All-in-1 HA Essence Toner. 

 

Treatment Serum or moisturizer:

If having severe acne breakouts, better avoid from using any serum or moisturizer.

For mild acne, if your skin tolerates it, apply a serum or moisturizer that have humectant effect such as hyaluronic acid. Avoid emollient (such as ceramides, squalene, shea butter) and occlusive (such as wax, oil) moisturizer. You can try our special moisturizer-DR. LYNA AESTHETIC FORMULA- Hyaluronic Acid Intensifier.

 

Sunscreen (SPF 50+) Crucial for preventing post-acne marks and protecting skin from UV damage. Choose mineral sunscreens that contains titanium dioxide and zinc oxide. You can try our sunscreen, DR. LYNA AESTHETIC FORMULA- REJUVENATING AQUA SUNSCREEN SPF 50.

 

Evening Routine

Double Cleanse Start with an oil-free toner to remove sunscreen and makeup, followed by cleanser. This helps prevent clogged pores and breakouts.

 

Exfoliation: 

Use a chemical exfoliant like salicylic acid or glycolic acid to unclog pores and smooth texture. Example: DR. LYNA AESTHETIC FORMULA- Oil Free Clarifying Gel Wash. Avoid physical scrubs—they can irritate acne-prone skin.

 

Acne Tips: 

  • Avoid touching your face throughout the day
  • Change pillowcases frequently
  • Stay consistent because the results take time
  • If acne is severe or cystic, consult a doctor for prescription options
