Many people will ask, what are closed comedones? Don’t mistake the pimples on your face for acne! "Closed comedones" are also a type of acne, which are formed by the accumulation of sebum in the pores. Unlike other types of acne, "closed comedones" often only appear on the forehead, are not inflamed, and are not accompanied by skin lesions. From the appearance, the skin area with "closed comedones" is not smooth, but has many tiny raised points. It feels astringent and rough to the touch, but there is no pain.

In addition, it can promote skin metabolism, shrink pores, clean blackheads, effectively fade fine lines and wrinkles, and help restore skin's radiance. Apply salicylic acid essence to the areas where there are closed comedones, or apply salicylic acid essence in the morning and evening. The closed comedones will disappear after a period of time.

Choose a mild cleanser: Proper cleansing of the skin and proper exfoliation can reduce the appearance of closed comedones. It is necessary to maintain a balance in cleansing to avoid damaging the skin, which will cause the skin to secrete more oil and be more prone to closed comedones. Therefore, when washing your face, try to choose a mild cleanser that makes your face clean without leaving any tightness. Also discard those cleansers that make your face feel fake and slippery after washing.

Apply vitamin A ointment: If the "closed comedones" problem is very serious, or even tends to become inflamed, it is best to go to the hospital to see a professional dermatologist for a face-to-face consultation. Generally speaking, doctors will use some vitamin A drugs to treat acne problems to help renew the stratum corneum and suppress inflammation. However, vitamin A drugs such as retinoic acid are a very strong inorganic acid, which is very irritating. They will weaken the defense ability of the stratum corneum barrier and have significant side effects. Therefore, they must be used strictly in accordance with the doctor's orders. It is not recommended to purchase and try on your own.
