What Causes Acne and Who Is at Risk?
Acne typically results from a combination of factors. The main culprit is excess sebum production, which clogs pores and creates an ideal environment for bacteria. This often leads to inflammation and breakouts. Other contributing factors include:
Hormonal changes (e.g., puberty, pregnancy, menopause)
Genetics, which influence skin type and oil production
Stress and diet, which can worsen inflammation
Improper skincare that clogs pores or irritates the skin
While acne is commonly associated with teenagers, it's increasingly diagnosed in adults, especially women over the age of 25.
5 Most Effective Active Ingredients for Acne-Prone Skin
When treating acne, consistency is key. Effective care includes cleansing, balancing, hydrating, and calming the skin, while reducing inflammation and controlling bacteria. Below are five proven ingredients you’ll find in the Rumiano online shop that offer real results.
1. Azelaic Acid – A Dermatology Staple
Azelaic acid is a powerful anti-inflammatory and antibacterial agent commonly used to treat both acne vulgaris and rosacea. It regulates sebum, unclogs pores, and gently exfoliates. Safe for year-round use and all skin types, it's especially helpful for sensitive and combination skin.
2. Aloe Vera – Soothing and Moisturizing
Aloe vera hydrosol offers natural hydration, calming, and anti-inflammatory effects. It soothes irritation, reduces redness, and supports regeneration, making it ideal for acne-prone, sensitive, or reactive skin.
3. Niacinamide – The Multi-Tasking Vitamin B3
Niacinamide helps to minimize pores, control sebum, and reduce inflammation. It supports skin regeneration, speeds up the healing of breakouts, and reduces the risk of scarring. Suitable for daily use in serums and creams.
4. Tea Tree Oil – Nature’s Antibacterial Ally
Tea tree essential oil is a natural antiseptic with strong bacteria-fighting and purifying properties. Applied directly to blemishes, it helps reduce swelling, dry out pimples, and prevent the spread of infection.
5. Centella Asiatica Extract – Regeneration and Barrier Support
Centella, also known as gotu kola, is excellent for healing inflamed, acne-prone, and sensitive skin. It supports wound healing, strengthens the skin’s barrier, and helps reduce redness and post-acne marks.
How to Build an Effective Acne Skincare Routine
A complete anti-acne routine includes:
Gentle cleansing to avoid irritation
Toning to restore skin balance
Hydration with lightweight, non-comedogenic formulas
Exfoliation with gentle acids like azelaic acid
Sun protection, essential for preventing post-acne discoloration
Combining the ingredients mentioned above—such as niacinamide, aloe, and azelaic acid—can bring visible improvements when used regularly. Browse our curated selection of Lynia skincare products and create a personalized plan that addresses your specific skin concerns.
