Struggling with stubborn acne and ready to try something that truly clears your skin? Check out these 3 insanely effective anti acne facial treatments that will give you flawless skin.
Acne is the absolute worst. How would we know? Trust us, we’ve had our share of hormonal acne, clogged pores, blackheads, and breakouts. First thing is first, we need to understand the main types of acne. That makes it easier for us to properly treat it.
Types Of Acne
Non-inflammatory Acne: Basically, this is what we all call whiteheads and blackheads. Whiteheads occur when pores become clogged with sebum and dead skin cells, resulting in small, raised bumps with a white or flesh-colored appearance. Blackheads, on the other hand, are similar to whiteheads but have an open pore, allowing the trapped debris to oxidize and turn black.
Inflammatory Acne: Inflammatory acne involves the formation of red, swollen, and painful lesions. It includes several subtypes:
- Papules: Small, raised red bumps on the skin.
- Pustules: Red, inflamed bumps with a white or yellow center filled with pus.
- Nodules: Large, solid, painful lesions that develop deep within the skin.
- Cysts: Painful, pus-filled lesions that are larger and deeper than pustules. They can cause scarring if not treated properly.
Hormonal Acne: Hormonal acne is linked to hormonal fluctuations and is more common in teenagers and women. It typically occurs around the jawline, chin, and lower cheeks. Hormonal acne is often characterized by deep, painful cystic lesions and may flare up during menstruation or hormonal changes.

Anti Acne Facial Treatments
1. The “WOW” LING Signature Facial at LING Spa NYC ($325)
The “WOW” LING Signature Facial is incredible because it is a two in one anti acne facial treatment. By that we mean it tackles 2 types of acne, inflammatory acne like Pustules, as well as, non-inflammatory acne such as whiteheads and blackheads. Additionally, it helps with acne scarring.
LING Spa NYC has two locations, one in Union Square and one on the Upper West Side. You can check out the locations here. The experience in the LING Spa is very luxurious. Upon arrival, you get greeted by the receptionist. You are offered water with lemon while you wait for your esthetician. In a private room, you change into your robe, and the facial treatment begins.
The “WOW” LING Signature Facial is a 90-minute treatment. After the proper cleansing, they start with a Triple Peel process, which removes dead skin cells and helps with acne scars. Then they proceed with thorough pore-to-pore extractions, which are incredibly effective on whiteheads, blackheads, and inflammatory acne. Lastly, they follow up with a toner, serum, and ginseng mask, and lock it in with a moisturizer. We recommend getting this facial about three times consecutively every 6-weeks for severely congested skin. Then, we would continue with the Pore 2 Pure Cleansing Facial every 6-8 weeks. This process will give you flawless skin. If there is anything we will always recommend investing in, it’s the “WOW” LING Signature Facial.
2. The Pore Refining Peel at Silver Mirror Facial Bar ($175)
The Pore Refining Peel is a highly effective decongesting facial created by the famous Dr. Dennis Gross exclusively with Silver Mirror Facial Bar. If you’re unsure of who that is, check out this post here for a bit background information on Dr. Dennis Gross. We think this makes Silver Mirror Facial Bar very special.
Silver Mirror Facial Bar has several locations in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Miami. Check them out here and book your first treatment. We promise it’s worth it. One Pore Refining Peel is $175, and a series of 3 Package Peels for $450. A healthy consecutive treatment series would ideally be one treatment every 4-weeks.
The Pore Refining Peel is a minimal downtime deep penetrating peel specially designed for acne-prone skin. This innovative peel utilizes a combination of advanced ingredients and techniques to deeply cleanse the skin, remove impurities, and refine the texture of the pores. Additionally, the Pore Refining Peel helps with hyperpigmentation and acne scarring.
During the treatment, the esthetician carefully applies the peel to the skin, avoiding all sensitive areas. The peel is left on for a specified amount of time, allowing the active ingredients to work their magic. After the peel is removed, the esthetician may perform extractions to further cleanse the pores and remove any remaining impurities. The facial is finished up with some much needed hydration. Keep in mind that your skin will peel and shed for about 3-5 days. However, you will be able to disguise the shedding after the first few days.
3. HydraFacial™ At Haven Spa NYC (30 minute facial for $220)
It always gets tricky when looking for an affordable facial that does it all. We are talking about a facial that truly solves multiple skin concerns. That way you don’t have to waste your time trying to figure out which facial is best for acne scars. Or which facial is best for hydration. Or which is best for fine lines. So many skin concerns, so little time. Luckily we got you covered with a decently priced facial at Haven Spa in New York City. The HydraFacial does it all.
The treatment begins with cleansing the skin to remove surface impurities, oil, and debris. Then, a gentle yet effective exfoliation is performed using a specialized HydraFacial™ tip that gently removes dead skin cells. The HydraFacial™ utilizes a unique vortex suction technology to extract impurities from the pores. This gentle suction helps remove blackheads and whiteheads. Next the skin is infused with a customized blend of serums that deeply hydrate and nourish. These serums are rich in antioxidants, peptides, and hyaluronic acid, which help to replenish moisture, promote collagen production, and protect the skin against environmental damage.
One of the unique aspects of the HydraFacial™ is its ability to address specific skin concerns with targeted boosters. These boosters are selected based on individual needs, such as brightening, anti-aging, or clarifying. This customization allows for a tailored treatment that addresses specific skin concerns and goals. The boosters come at an additional $50 on top of the base price.
