Powerful Formulas to Promote Skin Health & Reduce Blemishes
The Blue Herbal collection is enriched with highly efficacious ingredients known for their benefits for oily or acne-prone skin types.
Salicylic acid one of the most well-known ingredients featured in skincare for acne-prone skin. This beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) is found in our Blue Herbal Cleanser for acne-prone skin and our Kiehl’s Blue Herbal Spot Treatment. Salicylic acid works by chemically exfoliating your skin and unclogging pores to help refine skin texture and reduce blemishes.

Frankincense, derived from the Boswellia tree, has been used ceremonially for centuries before we incorporated this ingredient into our skincare for acne-prone skin. Within our Blue Herbal formulas, Frankincense can help reduce excess sebum production to promote a more balanced complexion.
Within this collection of skincare for acne-prone skin, our toner for oily skin features refreshing astringent ingredients including camphor and menthol. Both of these naturally derived ingredients help to cool and invigorate an oily, acne-prone complexion.
What causes acne-prone skin?
Acne-prone skin can be caused by overactive sebaceous (oil) glands in the skin, which can lead to clogged pores. When a clogged pore becomes infected, this results in a blackhead, blemish or pimple. Acne-prone skin is often associated with the teenage years, however adults can also experience this skin concern. Common causes of adult acne-prone skin include fluctuating hormones, medications, stress, comedogenic skin or hair products and family history.
