Acne
Targeted solutions for your unique breakout patterns, backed by dermatological research
Why Generic Acne Solutions Often Fail
Most one-size-fits-all acne treatments ignore crucial factors that make your skin unique.
- Your specific breakout type (cystic, hormonal, or whitehead)
- Your skin's sensitivity and natural barrier function
- How products interact with your existing routine
- Environmental factors specific to your location
Yujo's analysis considers all these factors to recommend products that actually work for your skin
Science-Backed Acne Ingredients
Our recommendations feature clinically-proven ingredients carefully matched to your skin's needs:
Salicylic Acid
A beta hydroxy acid that penetrates pores to dissolve excess oil and exfoliate dead skin cells that cause clogs.
Best for: Blackheads and whiteheads
Benzoyl Peroxide
An antibacterial agent that kills acne-causing bacteria and helps reduce inflammation in active breakouts.
Best for: Inflammatory and bacterial acne
Niacinamide
A form of vitamin B3 that reduces inflammation, regulates oil production, and strengthens the skin barrier.
Best for: Sensitive, acne-prone skin
Azelaic Acid
A gentle acid that reduces inflammation, kills bacteria, and helps fade post-acne marks.
Best for: Acne with hyperpigmentation
Retinoids
Vitamin A derivatives that accelerate cell turnover, prevent clogged pores, and reduce inflammation for clearer skin.
Best for: Persistent acne and scarring
Sulfur
A natural mineral that reduces oil production, has mild antibacterial properties, and gently exfoliates the skin.
Best for: Sensitive skin with mild to moderate acne
Bakuchiol
A plant-derived alternative to retinoids that helps regulate cell turnover without typical retinoid irritation.
Best for: Sensitive skin that can't tolerate retinoids
Common Acne Treatment Mistakes
Many people unknowingly sabotage their acne treatment efforts with these common mistakes:
Over-exfoliating
Using too many exfoliating products can damage your skin barrier, leading to more inflammation and breakouts.
Better approach: Our algorithm recommends the optimal exfoliation frequency based on your skin's resilience.
Skipping Moisturizer
Many people with acne avoid moisturizer, but this can trigger more oil production and worsen breakouts.
Better approach: We recommend non-comedogenic moisturizers that won't clog pores.
Inconsistent Routine
Acne treatments require consistency to see results, but many people give up too soon or use products irregularly.
Better approach: We create simple, sustainable routines you can actually stick to.
Ignoring Underlying Causes
Treating symptoms without addressing causes like hormones or skin barrier damage leads to recurring breakouts.
Better approach: Our holistic assessment identifies and targets your unique acne triggers.
