“Riverdale” Star Lili Reinhart Gets Real About Her Cystic Acne—and How She Treats It
After feeling super insecure during a photoshoot where her cystic forehead breakout was on display for 11 hours, she had a lightbulb moment: There's no reason she should be self-conscious about something that so many other people are dealing with as well.
"I feel the need to talk about my struggle with acne Because maybe if I normalize my broken-out skin, more people—including myself—will be able to feel okay about their skin," Reinhart wrote. "To anyone out there who feels embarrassed or ashamed by breakouts, I feel you. We have each other, so let's get through this acne experience together."

And to help others on their acne journey, Reinhart shared some key skin-care tips that have helped her along the way. In an interview with Byrdie, she said she swears by Renée Rouleau's skin-care line—which has products specifically for acne-prone skin, from severe to less severe—and the super-popular Aztec Secret Indian Healing Clay Mask, which is touted as being a must-try for acne and blemishes.
Other acne-fighting solutions you could try—that are likely already in your kitchen? Oatmeal (recommended by a holistic medicine expert), olive oil (Chloe Moretz swears by the stuff), or going dairy-free (Well+Good's own beauty editor tried this one).
No matter what skin issues you're dealing with, just take some inspiration from Reinhart's new DGAF attitude. Breakouts are normal, and everyone has 'em. As long as you remember this and stay confident—no matter how many tubes of zit cream and concealer you go through—you'll have a glow no cyst can ever take away.
