Acne affects millions of people of all ages—from hormone-driven teen breakouts to adult stress-related blemishes. Instead of masking symptoms, Young Living offers a holistic, plant-based approach that supports your skin and your overall well-being.
Whether you’re dealing with occasional pimples or persistent breakouts, this guide breaks down how to use Young Living acne-support products, what benefits they offer, their key ingredients, and who can use them.
🌿 Why a Natural Approach to Acne Matters
Traditional acne products often rely on harsh chemicals that strip your skin, trigger dryness, or disrupt the skin’s natural balance. Young Living focuses on:
Plant-based botanicals
Essential oils with cleansing and balancing properties
Gentle daily care that supports long-term skin health
Instead of treating just surface blemishes, the protocol helps your skin stay resilient, clear, and comfortable.
Lexi's Testimony
Lexi's morning and night protocol:
2-3x/week
Exfoliate with Satin Facial Scrub and wash face with Charcoal Bar Soap.
Everyday
Morning Routine:
Wash face with Balance facial wash, apply Balance Toner, apply Balance Moisturizer (mix in one drop of Frankincense and gently smooth over face.)
Night Routine:
Wash face with Balance facial wash, apply Balance Toner, dab YL Acne Treatment all over and rub in. Sometimes I added a drop of Frankincense or Tea Tree to the Acne Treatment.
Note from Lexi: "You may have a 1-2 week skin detox period where your skin will get worse before it gets better! But don’t get discouraged, the change is worth it!!"
Marie's Testimony
The Young Living Products Marie and Lexi Used to Achieve Clearer Skin and Bigger Smiles
A fresh, clear complexion is yours with the help of Young Living’s Maximum-Strength Acne Treatment that's packed with naturally derived ingredients! Maximum strength salicylic acid from Wintergreen helps clear acne blemishes, and essential oils such as Tea Tree and Manuka offer additional benefits for your skin. Aloe and chamomile extracts help keep skin soft and moisturized for a treatment that’s both powerful and gentle.
How to use it:
Wash your face thoroughly and cover the entire affected area with a thin layer of Maximum Strength Acne Treatment 1-3 times daily.
Note: Even though this product is formulated to be gentle, drying can occur. Begin with one application daily and gradually increase to 2-3 times daily if needed. If dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to one time a day or every other day.
SPOT TREATMENT
Oil for your skin? It might seem counterintuitive, but Tea Tree essential oil has incredible cleansing properties that make it a popular choice for skin care products. This oil is great for all skin types but is especially suited for use on oily skin.
How to use it:
Try it as a spot treatment by placing a drop on the end of a cotton swab and dabbing lightly onto blemishes.
Tea Tree isn’t the only oil that’s great for healthy-looking skin! We love Rosemary essential oil for more than its energizing herbal scent. It’s also a great addition to your facial cleansing routine, leaving your skin feeling fresh and bright!
How to use it:
Combine 1 drop of Rosemary with 4 drops of V-6™ Vegetable Oil Complex. Dip a cotton ball in the solution and apply it after you wash your face.
Balance Collection (Morning and night)
1) Balance Cleanser
Successful skin care starts with a great facial cleanser! When it’s time to wash your face, reach for Balance Cleanser. It’s made from naturally derived ingredients, including Lavender essential oil, and is great for sensitive skin. The hypoallergenic formula gently cleanses surface oils and removes dirt and makeup without making your skin feel overly dry or tight.
How to use it:
Create a clean slate for your morning and nighttime skin care routine. Wet your face with warm water and gently rub a small amount of Balance Cleanser into your skin; rinse with warm water and pat dry (never rub.)
2) BALANCE Dual-Phase Toner
Step two in our customized three-step skin care system: BALANCE by Young Living Dual-Phase Toner reduces the appearance of pores in only 15 minutes, provides an eight-hour mattifying effect (reduce the shine or oiliness of the complexion), balance the skin’s microbiome, and helps minimize the appearance of blemishes with gentle, naturally derived ingredients. The BALANCE Skin Care Collection is a clinically tested, non-comedogenic, and non-acnegenic system that will help improve oily and blemish-prone skin with noticeable results in as little as 30 days. This simple, three-step system harnesses the strongest naturally derived actives we could find for oily and blemish-prone skin and uses them at the most effective clinical testing levels, so you can feel confident in your own skin.
How to use it:
Shake well before use. After cleansing, use to moisten a cotton round and sweep over skin morning and night. Avoid eye area.
3) Balance Moisturizer
Treat your skin to a deep drink of hydration with Balance Moisturizer formulated with essential oils. This essential oil-infused moisturizer uses only naturally derived, plant-based ingredients that are non-comedogenic and vegan-friendly. It’s formulated to benefit oily skin without irritation from harsh chemicals!
How to use it:
Smooth this fresh-scented moisturizer across clean skin morning and night.
Charcoal Bar Soap (2-3x/week as Cleanser)
Activated charcoal has powerful absorption properties, making it perfect for pulling out dirt and impurities without stripping your skin’s natural moisture. Our Charcoal Bar Soap has a naturally derived formula that includes powerful skin-cleaning agents, moisturizing ingredients, and a bright, fresh scent. It’s great for multiple skin types and especially benefits combination, oily, or acne-prone skin for a clear, healthy-looking complexion.
How to use it:
Use as a facial cleanser 2-3x/week by working the soap into a lather and applying it to your face in a gentle, circular motion, rinse thoroughly with warm water.
SCARING AND DICOLORATION
Got scarring from acne or other skin issues? Apply a drop of Lavender and Frankincense to spots every morning and night till they disappear.
Tips for Best Results
Hydrate internally & externally
- Drink water, support circulation, and keep skin lightly moisturized.
Sleep + Stress Matters
- Your body repairs skin overnight—rest and stress management make a real difference.
Nourish from Within
- Antioxidant-rich foods support your skin’s natural glow. NingXia Red juice is tops on the antioxidant rich drinks!
Patch Test Always
- Essential oils are potent. Start by using carrier oils and small quantities. Test a new oil by applying a drop to your inner forearm and waiting 12 hours. If no reaction occurs, you can proceed with using that oil.
Final Thought
Clear skin isn’t just about fixing a pimple—it’s about nurturing your whole self. Young Living’s acne-support approach recognizes that your skin reflects what’s going on inside you: your rhythms, your stress, your nourishment, and your daily habits.
