Our 2022 Acne Awards Are *Finally* HereHearst Owned

Anyone who’s prone to breakouts knows that using the wrong stuff on your skin can send it into a tailspin. Choose a non-breathable foundation and your face morphs into a grease-slick by lunchtime. Apply too rich of a night cream and wake up to a smattering of blackheads and whiteheads. Experiment with some fancy fragranced serum and your cheeks become an inflamed and bumpy mess. Slather on a heavy SPF and, well, you get the idea.
