Alright, let’s get the obvious out of the way: Acne really effing sucks. Whether you’re dealing with hormonal breakouts along your jaw or cystic zits on your chin, fighting acne is more challenging than, like, defining the relationship with your Tinder hookup. The upside? You definitely aren’t in it alone. Ninety-nine freaking percent of all Cosmo readers deal with some form of acne (it’s true! You told us!), which is why we created a newsletter dedicated to helping you and your skin. Introducing Acne Sucks, This Helps: the pimple-fighting forum you never knew you needed.

On the first Sunday of every month, the Cosmo beauty team hits up your inbox with a smart—and brutally honest—lineup of holy-grail acne products that actually work, Q and As from fancy derms who’ve seen it all (including, yes, a definitive answer on how to pop your zits without f*cking up your skin), celeb-approved tips and tricks (see: how Bella Hadid deals with her breakouts), and no-BS hacks.

On board? Of course you are. So do yourself—and your skin—a favor and subscribe right here, right now to get on the list. And in the meantime, scroll up to get a taste of some of our personal favorite newsletters so far.
