If your Sphynx cat is struggling with blackheads, pimples, or chin acne, RenewedPet has the perfect solution. This is one of the most common skincare issues I see in hairless pets. But the good news is that it’s also one of the easiest to treat when you use the right product.
That’s exactly why I created the RenewedPet® Acne Remedy - a gentle, effective formula that clears up breakouts quickly without harsh chemicals or irritation. It’s become one of our top-selling products for a reason!
Why do Sphynx Cats (and Other Hairless Pets) Get Acne
Hairless pets like Sphynx cats and Chinese Cresteds are more prone to skin issues because their skin is fully exposed. Dirt, oil and dead skin cells can easily clog pores, especially around high-friction areas like the chin, legs and belly.
Even pets with fur can suffer from acne, most commonly on the chin. That’s why this remedy is safe and effective for all pets whether they’re hairless or furry.
What Makes Our Acne Remedy Different?
Like all RenewedPet products, our acne remedy is made from 100% natural, plant-based ingredients, with organic components whenever possible. There are no synthetic ingredients, harsh additives or stinging sensations - just clean, calming skin support.
In fact, I’ve even used it on my own face! It feels more like a luxurious spa treatment than a “remedy.”
Key ingredients include:
Dead Sea Salt – known for its natural detoxifying and exfoliating properties
Activated Coconut Charcoal – helps pull out toxins, oil and debris from deep in the pores
Natural Oils & Botanicals – to support skin healing, smoothness and hydration
How to Use the Acne Remedy
Using the RenewedPet Acne Remedy is quick and easy:
Apply a small amount to your pet’s chin, legs, or tummy, anywhere breakouts are present.
Massage gently into the skin for 1–2 minutes, letting the Dead Sea Salt work as a natural exfoliant.
Let it sit for 3–5 minutes.
Remove the product using the soft exfoliating sponge we include with every jar. Just wet the sponge and wipe clean.
For most pets, using the remedy once daily for 3–5 days is enough to fully clear the skin.
For More Stubborn Cases…
If your pet has persistent or severe acne (as is often the case in Chinese Cresteds), here’s my best trick:
Apply a generous layer of the acne remedy before bed.
Dress your pet in a full-body onesie or pajama that keeps the product in place overnight.
Repeat for 2–4 nights.
This overnight method gives the ingredients even more time to work and has produced fantastic results for many pet parents in our community.
If your Sphynx cat or other hairless pet struggles with acne, this is one remedy you’ll want to keep on hand.
