10 things you should get rid of it when you have acne


1.        Salicylid acid
o   If your skincare product contains these ingredients, do not use it!
o   Or else, just use in small amount
o   Reason: it can cause redness, dry skin etc.

o   Those who have dry skin/ find your face scratching you all day – try to use unscented product.

4.       Retinol – for anti-aging purpose
o   Can treat fine line and uneven skin tone
o   Talk to your dermatologist if you wanna use it – not all skin types are suitable to use it.

5.       Alcohol
