Struggling with acne despite trying countless cleansers, scrubs, and spot treatments? You’re not alone. While drugstore skincare products can be helpful for mild breakouts, persistent acne often requires more than over-the-counter solutions. If your current routine isn’t delivering results, it may be time to take a closer look at what your skin really needs—and how expert care from Funt Aesthetics, a top name in medical-backed skin and beauty care in Long Island, NY, can make the difference.
Drugstore Products Have Limitations
Many acne-focused products found in stores rely on basic concentrations of salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, or glycolic acid. While these ingredients can be helpful for surface-level oil and bacteria, they’re rarely strong enough to treat deeper inflammation, hormonal imbalances, or blocked pores that lead to chronic breakouts. In fact, overuse of these products can sometimes irritate the skin further, causing redness, dryness, and flaking without addressing the root cause.
Acne Is Complex and Often Medical
Acne isn’t just about clogged pores. It can be driven by factors like excess oil production, hormonal shifts, stress, genetics, and even certain medications. That’s why the most effective treatments begin with a professional skin evaluation. Dr. Funt and his team offer you personalized acne management plans that combine medical insight with aesthetic expertise.
Advanced Treatments Available in Office
If your acne hasn’t improved with over-the-counter products, in-office treatments may be the key. Options such as prescription-strength topical therapies, deep-cleansing chemical peels, and medical-grade skincare can dramatically improve skin clarity. Funt Aesthetics also offers microneedling and laser options that target inflammation, reduce pore size, and improve overall skin texture, all under expert supervision to ensure safe, lasting results.
The Power of Professional Skincare
In addition to in-office treatments, Dr. Funt’s practice offers access to professional-grade skincare products formulated to work with your skin type and treatment goals. Unlike drugstore brands, these products deliver higher concentrations of active ingredients with better absorption and fewer fillers. They are designed to enhance your skin health over time.
Take the First Step Toward Clearer Skin
You don’t have to keep guessing which product might finally work. If acne is affecting your confidence or quality of life, it’s time to explore more effective, physician-guided options. Dr. Funt and his medical aesthetic team offer comprehensive skin evaluations and customized acne solutions tailored to your unique concerns.
