Based on the information, several ingredients can help treat inflamed acne:
- Licorice Extract (specifically Licochalcone A): This extract is known for its properties to reduce skin inflammation, redness from acne, and general irritation. It can be used in acne treatment products.
- Zinc PCA: This ingredient helps reduce oiliness on the skin and is effective in reducing inflammation of acne. It also accelerates wound healing, which can help with acne scars.

These ingredients work through different mechanisms to address the inflammation associated with acne.
