- Anti-acne cosmetics, designed to prevent, treat, and manage acne-related skin conditions, are becoming essential components of personal care routines across a broad consumer base, particularly among adolescents and young adults, due to rising concerns over appearance, skin health, and confidence
- The escalating demand for anti-acne cosmetics is primarily driven by increasing acne prevalence globally, growing awareness of skincare through digital platforms, and a strong consumer shift toward preventive and active-ingredient-based products such as salicylic acid, benzoyl peroxide, and herbal formulations
- Asia-Pacific dominated the anti-acne cosmetics market with a share of 41.6% in 2024, due to high adolescent population, rising awareness about skincare, and increasing demand for beauty and personal care products
- North America is expected to be the fastest growing region in the anti-acne cosmetics market during the forecast period due to a strong culture of skincare routines, high awareness about dermatological issues, and the proliferation of clean-label and tech-enabled skincare brands
- Creams and lotions segment dominated the market with a market share of 29.1% in 2024, due to their multifunctional use as moisturizers and treatment solutions. These products are widely accepted due to their convenience, non-greasy texture, and ability to deliver active ingredients such as benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid, and retinoids over extended periods. Their compatibility with all skin types, especially dry and combination skin, and their inclusion in both day and night skincare routines have made them a staple in consumer regimens
