Did you know June is Acne Awareness Month? Even though most of us have our fair share of acne, you’d be surprised to learn how many of us know how to treat it properly.
So, if you’ve been having troubles with acne recently or your whole life, read on to see why this month is the perfect time to learn and better combat acne.
What is Acne Awareness Month?
Acne Awareness Month dedicates the entirety of June to educating the public about the causes, treatments, and prevention of acne. Which is why throughout this month, Eucerin has been actively conducting large-scale sampling activities, posting educational content on social media, and inviting skincare experts to share their insights on key ingredients to raise awareness about acne care among Malaysians.
A word of advice from the experts
Aside from skincare routines and habits, Eucerin’s skincare experts share how often Malaysians overlook the ingredients in their skincare products. Something as innocent as applying the wrong ingredients to your skin can cause acne to worsen.
Wonder what are the best ingredients for acne? A number of skincare experts frequently list these THREE key skincare ingredients that greatly reduce acne problems, including:
a) The acne combatant: 2% Salicylic Acid

When it comes to reducing acne effectively, you can’t go wrong with including 2% Salicylic Acid as part of your skincare routine. Just ask skincare expert Engku Sulwani!
“This beta hydroxy acid goes deep down into your pores (to fight blocked pores and bacterial growth), exfoliating from within. It clears out excess oil and dead skin cells, helping to reduce current breakouts and prevent future ones.”
b) For the sweet relief of your skin: Licochalcone A

You know how sometimes your face turns red like a tomato? That’s the result of acne, making your skin more sensitive than it should be! Which is where Licochalcone A comes in.
Found in Chinese Liquorice plants, Licochalcone A is an active ingredient that reduces skin redness with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. Based on Dr. Shazril Shaharuddin’s knowledge, Licochalcone A works wonders when it comes to calming and soothing your skin, not to mention it regulates sebum production to better manage oily skin.
c) Bye bye, post-acne marks: Thiamidol

Even after eliminating as much acne as we can, some of them still leave behind post-acne marks that are a nuisance. Fortunately, Thiamidol, a patented ingredient developed by Eucerin, is your best friend in this scenario.
According to Aishah Budiman, a skincare expert, Thiamidol is “an effective skin whitener that targets acne marks. They can reduce the production of melanin, which causes dark spots. Soon enough, even post-acne marks will fade and brighten up.” It even reduces new acne marks by up to 80%, so Thiamidol ultimately prevents AND reduces acne marks.
Three ingredients, two solutions
Sounds like 2% Salicylic Acid, Licochalcone A, and Thiamidol DO help with acne. In fact, some of the best cleanser and serum on the market contain ALL three ingredients and have been clinically proven, including Eucerin ProACNE Solution 3X Treatment Gel To Foam Cleanser and Eucerin ProACNE Solution Triple Effect Serum.
Eucerin ProACNE Solution 3X Treatment Gel To Foam Cleanser and Eucerin ProACNE Triple Effect Serum deeply cleanse, soothe, and reduce acne and post-acne marks, while preventing future breakouts.
In celebration of Acne Awareness Month, both skincare experts and everyday Malaysians across the Internet teamed up with Eucerin to share tips, routines, and testimonies on proper acne care, especially with Eucerin ProACNE. After all, acne isn’t something to be ashamed of — with just the right ingredients, you’ll feel comfortable in your skin and feel more confident!
“Sure or not, these two products will help me with my acne?” Hear it from the real users!
A couple of Malaysians have already tried including all three ingredients in their skincare routine with Eucerin ProACNE Solution 3X Treatment Gel To Foam Cleanser and Eucerin ProACNE Triple Effect Serum to see if they actually work, and posted their experience online.
Here’s what they had to say:
