Cysts: Although cystic acne is the least common form of acne, it also happens to be the most severe. If you have large, red, and painful breakouts that are deep in your skin, then you probably have cystic acne. These usually occur due to the overproduction of testosterone or other hormonal changes and lead to clogged pores. So, if you have this form of acne, consult with a dermatologist as soon as you can because it tends to leave behind scars. You could also opt for the Bioderma White Objective Fluid to treat this condition.

See all those niggling black spots that appear on your nose and chin? Those are blackheads. They're caused by oil, dirt or dead skin cells that oxidise with the air in our pores. People with oily skin tend to have more blackheads. And this can also lead to breakouts on the skin. The best way to get rid of them is to exfoliate your skin or use face masks like the L'Oréal Paris Pure Clay Mask Purify & Mattify.

Although they're the mildest form of acne, they can prove to be quite troublesome. They occur when skin forms over clogged pores and makes it appear white. They commonly appear on the shoulders, chest and back but a lot of people also have them on their face. The best way to get rid of whiteheads would be by opting for products with salicylic acid. Try the Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Cleanser or Vichy Normaderm Daily Deep Cleansing Gel.

If you have an angry-looking red zit on your face, it's probably a papule. Papules are caused when the clogged pore creates more oil for the bacteria to feed on. This way, the pores rupture and become inflamed, causing the red appearance. You could use the Body Shop Tea Tree Oil to cure this form of acne.

Papules eventually transition into pustules which we in simpler terms call pimples. Luckily, they're usually painless and subside by themselves in a few days. However, if you want to get rid of them sooner you could try an overnight zit treatment. Try Dermalogica Clear Start Breakout Clearing Emergency Spot Fix that will work really well to fix blemishes on your skin.
