Everything else you put on your skin should be gently exfoliating and moisturizing. "Look for products with key ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and glycolic acid," she says. "I like the Acne-Free Oil-Free Acne Cleanser because it can be used on the face and the body to remove acne-causing bacteria and prevent new ones from forming that can result in hyperpigmentation."

She also recommends having a strong spot treatment on hand to zap stubborn pimples.
