It can be hard to know how to deal with adult acne. Some products might be too gentle, some might be too harsh. One serum has been praised by acne sufferers though as helping manage their skin.

It’s finding that perfect balance between a formula that will tackle the problem with active ingredients, without drying out or irritating the skin.

Hey Bud, an Australian brand powered by hemp, has some real social media buzz, though. From its face mask that launched its multi-million-pound business, as well as its hard-working eye cream that targets puffiness and dark circles,

Now, during Acne Awareness Month, there’s a product praised for its apparent ability to tackle acne head-on – the 10% Niacinamide + Hemp Serum (£25)

As well as containing powerhouse ingredients for clearing the skin, this serum is claimed to be great for anti-ageing, protecting against free radicals and hyperpigmentation.

The key ingredients are powerful active niacinamide, which is a form of vitamin B3 known for improving skin texture and easing pigmentation as well as boosting collagen, as well as hemp, which has anti-inflammatory properties and can help with acne.

It’s gone down a treat with fans so far – with a 5/5 star rating overall – and 92% of Hey Bud users claiming they noticed improvements in their skin.
