Paris Jackson Shares Unfiltered Photo of Her Acne and the Skincare Routine That Helped Her Breakouts

The singer rocked a bare face on Instagram as she updated fans on her acne journey

Paris Jackson is getting real about her acne.

The “bandaid” singer decided to share an unfiltered close-up photo of what her breakouts used to look like alongside a July 19 Instagram video in which she detailed the products and tips that helped heal her skin.

In the clip, the makeup-free 26-year-old highlighted the Shani Darden Skin Care Triple Acid Signature Peel travel-size kit.

She uses the skin resurfacing and brightening acid peel solution, which is formulated with glycolic, lactic and mandelic acid, and the follow-up neutralizing clay mask. She admitted that the exfoliating process "does hurt a lot" but the results are unbeatable.

Jackson revealed that Shani Darden, the celebrity esthetician behind the brand, has been treating her skin for six months and raved about how much her skin has changed for the better. She loves the product so much that she even put her friends onto it (why gatekeep a product that is just that good?).

After finishing up the two-step peel, which she paired with a sunscreen, Jackson explained that using an oil-free moisturizer and using filtered tap water has improved her skin flare-ups.

At the end of the video, Jackson shared a close-up look of her glowing skin post-routine. “Here we are, ready to go to work,” she said.

In the past, Jackson hasn’t been shy about addressing her "imperfections" and she’s used her platform to help destigmatize unrealistic beauty standards.

"Don't be insecure about your acne or stretch marks. You know what else has spots? Pizza. And everyone loves pizza," the model once shared on X. And in 2017 she told i-D magazine: "I still have countless insecurities and fears, like everyone else I know," adding that she hopes she can empower others to feel beautiful by opening up about her own skin journey.

She doesn’t let unwarranted opinions on her looks fly either. Last year, she clapped back at haters for telling her she looked “haggard.”

“This is no filter, no makeup and regular lighting for the people that wrote really s---ty comments about how old and haggard I look in my last video,” Jackson wrote. “I am literally 25. Just young and haggard thank you very much."

Jackson isn’t the only celebrity who’s normalized pimples. Justin Bieber, Lili Reinhart and Kendall Jenner among a slew of other stars have all posted about their zits on social media.
