Remedies for baby acne

Hi all. How to deal with baby acne? My NB is 23 days old and it is heartbreaking to see her face breakout with baby acne. I tried applying BM but on second thought, will bm actually make things worse because milk contains some sort of “food residue” that is sweet in nature? pardon my ignorance as I am a FTM😅 I know some people recommended using calendula oil too. But Google says best not to put any lotion and the acne will usually go away by itself? not sure what is the best way…It has been almost 5 days and still doesn’t look better, I really hope they will heal faster.

I tried sebamed baby facial cream and Sudocrem (I prefer Sudocrem and have been using it even for myself), both works well for my LO. But of course it’s not an overnight thing, have to keep the area clean as well :)

I tried mustela facial cream but it didn't really do much I feel? So I stopped using it. The acne looked bad but I just waited it out. By a month or so can already see the acne getting lesser.

I use Mustela no rinse cleansing water then Mustela cicastela twice daily / acne went away in 2 weeks and never came back hehe

use BM. it's the best and most natural firm of healing as it constians antibodies that help fight the acne bacteria.

I used Cetaphil Lotion, thin layer daily after bath as recommended by PD. Gone in a week!

don't worry it's normal and will go away soon
