Breakouts that keep coming back — and the marks they leave behind — need more than a single active. SKINLAB AcneCure Anti-Acne Gel is a dermatologist-recommended, peroxide-free treatment that targets several root causes of acne at once: it unclogs pores (Salicylic Acid 1.2%), resurfaces congested texture (Glycolic Acid 5%), controls oil (Sulphur 1%) and calms inflammation (Green Tea and Gotu Kola).
Because it is peroxide-free, AcneCure clears acne without the dryness, stripping and irritation that benzoyl-peroxide gels often cause — making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive, acne-prone skin.
Non-comedogenic and dermatologist-recommended. Free from parabens and phthalates. Designed to work alongside SKINLAB AcneCure Facial Cleanser as a complete two-step routine.

SKINLAB offers simple, effective, cruelty-free skincare. Powered by botanicals, vitamins, and minerals, it helps restore balance for visibly glowing skin.
Salicylic Acid (BHA) 1.2%: A Beta Hydroxy Acid that penetrates deep into the pores to dissolve oil and unclog follicles — the root of blackheads, whiteheads and breakouts.
Glycolic Acid 5%: An Alpha Hydroxy Acid that gently resurfaces congested, uneven texture — supports cell renewal for a smoother, clearer complexion.
Sulphur 1%: Regulates excess sebum and refines the look of enlarged pores; a classical anti-blemish active.
Green Tea Extract (Camellia sinensis): An antioxidant that soothes inflammation and redness on acne-prone skin.
Gotu Kola / Centella Asiatica: Calms inflammation and supports skin renewal — helps prevent the scarring that acne leaves behind.
Full INCI: Key ingredients: Salicylic Acid 1.2%, Glycolic Acid 5%, Sulphur 1%, Green Tea (Camellia Sinensis) Extract, Gotu Kola (Centella Asiatica) Extract, with selected sea minerals. Peroxide-free; free from parabens and phthalates. Full INCI on pack; compositions may differ slightly by region.
Clears breakouts at the source: Salicylic Acid 1.2% (BHA) unclogs pores; Glycolic Acid 5% resurfaces congested texture — targeting active acne, blackheads and whiteheads.
Controls oil and calms skin: Sulphur 1% helps regulate excess sebum; Green Tea and Gotu Kola soothe inflammation and redness on acne-prone skin.
Helps prevent scars and fade marks: By treating breakouts early and supporting skin renewal, AcneCure helps prevent new acne scars and fades the look of post-acne marks — for a clearer, more even complexion over time.
Peroxide-free — gentler on skin: A dermatologist-recommended, peroxide-free formula that clears acne without the dryness and stripping of benzoyl-peroxide gels.
Suitable for all skin types: Non-comedogenic and dermatologist-tested — including sensitive, acne-prone skin in hot, humid climates.
HOW TO USE:
INDIA CLIMATE NOTE: India's humidity and pollution accelerate pore congestion. Once-daily use to begin; move to twice daily once tolerated. Because AcneCure contains AHA and BHA, daytime sunscreen is essential to protect against post-inflammatory darkening.
HOW TO PAIR:
This is the second step of the SKINLAB AcneCure routine: cleanse first with SKINLAB AcneCure Facial Cleanser, then apply AcneCure Gel. Every morning, finish with SKINLAB Sunscreen SPF 50 — non-negotiable. Alternatively, buy the AcneCure Kit (Cleanser + Gel) to get the complete two-step routine as a value bundle. Only SKINLAB products are recommended in this routine.
GOOD TO KNOW:
MANUFACTURING & AUTHENTICITY:
No. AcneCure is a cosmetic anti-acne treatment for mild-to-moderate breakouts. For persistent, severe or cystic acne, see a dermatologist.
It is peroxide-free. Benzoyl peroxide is effective but often strips, dries and irritates skin. AcneCure uses Salicylic Acid + Glycolic Acid + Sulphur to clear acne with less stripping — better for daily use, especially on sensitive skin.
Yes — every morning without exception. Salicylic Acid and Glycolic Acid both make skin more sensitive to the sun, and unprotected sun exposure darkens post-acne marks.
It is designed for the face — spots, blackheads and post-acne marks on the face. For body acne, spot-apply to affected areas only.
If you have the AcneCure Cleanser already, buy just the Gel. If you are starting the routine from scratch, the AcneCure Kit gives you both at a small saving vs buying them separately.
