Medical Conditions - Cosmetic Induced Acne

Cosmetic products induced acne, termed acne cosmetica, appears as tiny bumps, pimples, or whiteheads on the cheeks, forehead, or chin. This is due to the skin sensitivity to makeup products in people with acne-prone skin. Choosing makeup products that do not clog pores or irritate the skin, using mild cleansers regularly, and treating the acne with Benzoyl peroxide or Salicylic acid formulation help control cosmetic-induced breakouts.
