The Best Face Masks to Tackle Your Acne

If your complexion also lacks brightness, try a treatment that incorporates exfoliating alpha hydroxy and beta hydroxy acids. Together, they slough off dead surface cells to produce a visible glow and help make pores appear smaller. 

This three-minute flash mask deposits exfoliating salicylic acid and leaves behind a matte complexion. The latter comes thanks to a blend of oil-absorbing myristic acid and pore-smoothing grapefruit extract.

This formula teams 10 percent sulfur—which eradicates bacteria—with moisturizing aloe vera and sweet almond oil. The combo means even those with dry skin can benefit from the traditionally-astringent ingredient.

Detoxifying charcoal is a champ at drawing out pore-clogging dirt and oil. The finely-milled bamboo-based variety used here is just as powerful, but stil gentle enough for those with sensitive skin.
