Lili Reinhart Discusses the Challenges of Acne as an Actress and Her New Skincare Line

Lili Reinhart, the 'Riverdale' actress, recently shared her personal struggle with acne, describing it as often isolating, especially given the rarity of celebrities openly dealing with such skin issues. At the launch of her skincare brand, Personal Day, Reinhart emphasized the shame she felt about her skin, which stemmed from earlier experiences.

Speaking exclusively to PEOPLE, Reinhart expressed her desire to destigmatize acne by encouraging public figures to engage in conversations about it, aiming to foster a supportive community. The actress, 28, related that her ongoing acne struggles often reminded her of feelings from her teenage years, sparking a desire to hide.

This internal battle motivated Reinhart to create her own skincare line, featuring luxury ingredients aimed not at quick fixes but gradual healing. She revealed the realization she had about the lack of trustworthy acne solutions prompted the creation of Personal Day, a brand focused on offering support rather than a cure, acknowledging that acne can be lifelong.

Furthermore, Reinhart collaborated with industry experts, including her aesthetician Sarah Ford, and a mental health specialist, to ensure her brand encompasses comprehensive support addressing not only the skin but also self-esteem issues impacted by acne. She hopes her efforts make the world a more accepting place for teens facing similar challenges.
