Acne

Shop acne treatments and breakout-prone skincare from withaid, a UK based and regulated pharmacy. This category includes practical over-the-counter options for mild to moderate spots on the face, chest and back, plus cleanser formats that fit easily into everyday routines. Orders are sent via Royal Mail in discreet packaging, with fast, free delivery on orders over £20.

If you’re unsure where to start, keep it simple: cleanse consistently, introduce one targeted active gradually, and support your skin barrier with moisturiser and daily SPF to help minimise dryness and sensitivity. If you’d like help choosing between options (or checking suitability alongside other products), our pharmacy team can advise.


Shop by acne product type

Popular types of acne products

  • Wash gels and face washes for routine-friendly cleansing and oil control
  • Leave-on gels for targeted application on breakout-prone areas
  • Inflamed-spot treatments for red, sore-looking blemishes
  • Wipes and pads for convenient, on-the-go cleansing or treatment
  • Acne routine ingredients you may see in ranges (such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, azelaic acid or niacinamide)

How to choose the right option

  • Choose the right format: rinse-off washes can be practical for chest and back, while leave-on gels suit targeted areas.
  • Start low and go slow: introduce one active at a time and build up gradually if your skin tolerates it.
  • Follow the label and leaflet: check age guidance, warnings and how often to apply; use only as directed.
  • Reduce irritation risk: avoid applying to broken skin, keep away from eyes and lips, and wash hands after use.
  • Be fabric-aware: some acne actives can bleach clothing and towels, so let products fully dry before dressing.
  • Support your skin barrier: use a suitable moisturiser and consider daily SPF, especially if products feel drying.

FAQs

What’s best for face acne vs chest and back breakouts?

For the face, many people prefer a gentler cleanser plus a targeted leave-on product for problem areas. For chest and back, a rinse-off wash gel can be practical because it covers larger areas quickly. Choose based on skin sensitivity and follow the directions on pack.

What’s the difference between a wash gel and a leave-on gel?

A wash gel is applied and rinsed off like a cleanser, which can be easier to fit into a daily routine. A leave-on gel is applied to the skin and left in place, often used on specific breakout-prone areas. If irritation occurs, reduce frequency or stop and seek advice.

How long do acne treatments take to work?

It can take several weeks of consistent use to see noticeable improvement, and it’s common to adjust your routine along the way. If symptoms worsen, you develop significant irritation, or you’ve seen no improvement after a reasonable trial, a pharmacist or GP can advise on next steps.

Can benzoyl peroxide bleach clothing, towels or bedding?

Some benzoyl peroxide products can bleach fabrics and hair. Let the product fully dry before dressing, use white towels or bedding where possible, and wash hands after applying. Always follow the product instructions.

Can I use acne treatments alongside other skincare actives?

Using multiple strong actives at the same time can increase dryness and irritation. Consider introducing one active first, then adding other products gradually if your skin tolerates it. If you’re unsure what’s safe to combine, ask a pharmacist for guidance.

Do any acne products require extra suitability guidance?

Some pharmacy-sold treatments may have specific suitability guidance depending on the active ingredient and strength. Always read the label and patient information leaflet, and contact a pharmacist if you’re unsure what’s appropriate for you.

When should I speak to a pharmacist or GP about acne?

Seek advice if acne is severe, painful, widespread, causing scarring, or affecting your confidence or mood. A pharmacist or GP can help you choose suitable options and discuss stronger treatments if needed.

Safety note: This information is general and isn’t a substitute for personalised medical advice. Acne treatments may not be suitable for everyone. Always read the label and patient information leaflet. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, have very sensitive skin, a skin condition, or take regular medicines, speak to a pharmacist or GP before starting a new product.
