Baby acne typically appears on the cheeks, forehead, chin, or even the back and looks a lot like teenage acne (but with way less angst). The good news? It’s totally treatable, and you can help clear it up faster with a few simple steps. Ready to banish those bumps and restore your little one’s glow? Let’s dive in.

While some babies experience it in the first two to three weeks of life, others might see flare-ups at around four to six weeks.
