If someone tells you that you’ll stop breaking out after your teens, don’t believe them. While it might be true that puberty and hormonal changes can lead to the appearance of pesky pimples, they are definitely not the only cause.

So if you suffer from breakouts and want to nip the problem in the bud, check out these cleansers that help to prevent pimples from even occurring. We’ve tested them all and found them really effective.
