" Here&amp;#039;s the good news: We&amp;#039;re going to age better thanks to our genetics. &amp;quot;Because Latinas are less sensitive to sun exposure and sun damage, you are less likely to experience wrinkles at an early age and are less susceptible to an early breakdown of collagen from sun damage,&amp;quot; explains Dennis Gross, MD and founder of the Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare line. The bad news: those same genes can cause our skin to tend to be more oily and acne-prone, even well past our teenage years. (Like you need us to tell you that!) To put an end to zits, look for products with these top acne-fighting ingredients,says Dr. Gross: Salicylic acid exfoliates and helps reduce pore size. Bonus: It builds elastin and collagen at the same time. We love Neutrogena&amp;#039;s All-in-1 Acne Control Facial Treatment, $10.49. Glycolic and lactic acids prevent your pores from getting clogged. Try Philosophy&amp;#039;s Clear and Balanced 3 piece set, $55. L-Carnitine helps prevent oil gland blockages and is the key ingredient in the new Dr. Dennis Gross Skincare One Step Acne Eliminating Pads, $38. Malic acid helps eliminate the dark marks left behind by acne. Apothederm Brightening Cleanser, $28, works great.  Sulfur is used to control oil and for spot treatments. One of our faves is Kate Somerville&amp;#039;s EradiKate Acne Treatment, $22. Farnesol is a natural alternative to benzoyl peroxide and destroys acne-causing bacteria. Bisabolol is an active ingredient derived from chamomile extract that helps soothe redness and reduce inflammation. And here are a few ingredients that can make acne worse: Benzoyl peroxide is good at fighting bacteria, but it can lead to dry, flaky skin if overused. Cleansers and toners that contain alcohol can strip the skin of its natural oils and dry it out. Your skin will respond by producing more oil. The opposite of what you want!
