Introducing the Acne Awards 2026: our first-ever awards dedicated entirely to the moisturizers, cleansers, spot treatments, non-comedogenic (read: won’t clog pores) makeup, and more that are specifically formulated for acne-prone skin. Whether you’re dealing with the occasional hormonal flare-up, excess oil, persistent blackheads, or stubborn cystic acne, these are the products we trust because we’ve used them ourselves, finished them to the last drop, and recommended them time and time again to friends, family, and now, to you.
Ahead, find the 30 award-winning acne solutions that have earned a permanent spot on our shelves.
