Avocado Oil Skincare Guide

Kiehl's Skincare Experts Answer - Is avocado oil good for acne prone skin?

As previously mentionned, acne-prone skin types can reap the benefits of avocado oil. However, that can seem to be contradicting: normally, we wouldn't apply oil based ingredients to already acne-prone skin. It turns out that this is quite the skin misconception! So how exactly does this work? Finding the right oils to use for acne-prone skin can have far more benefits than harm caused. Since avocado oil has a number of skin nutrients, it is appropriate to be used for all skin types: even oily and acne-prone ones. It's anti-inflammatory properties help reduce, treat and diminish individual pimples, as well as acne breakouts. Avocado oil contains vitamin e, an ingredient which fights acne and nourishes skin. Vitamin e also helps protect skin from harmful free radicals and uv rays from the sun, making this a useful ingredient to incorporate during the hot summer months. Most importantly, avocado oil is a non-comedogenic ingredient, which essentially means it does not clog pores.
