Skincare For Acne

What Causes Acne (And What Actually Helps)

Acne is caused by a build up of oil and dead skin cells in your pores or facial hair follicles. When bacteria grows in blocked pores, inflammation and redness follow. Severe acne, which is characterised by skin discoloration and swelling, can be extremely painful and difficult to manage. There are a number of different triggers, however the most common ones include hormones, stress, diet, and genetics. Ensuring you have a simple routine that puts the right products first is key to managing and healing acne-prone skin.

Our Approach To Acne-Prone Skin

Many products claim to heal or reduce acne but end up stripping your skin of its natural oils. Let’s get one thing straight: stripping your skin’s natural oils destroys the skin’s moisture barrier, which triggers the skin to overcompensate by producing even more oil. With increased oil comes even more clogged pores, and this is where the cycle of stubborn breakouts begins. Our number one priority when it comes to skincare is protecting the barrier. This means having a ‘less is more’ approach based on layering the right ingredients, rather than ‘quick-fix’ products that ruin your skin’s barrier and cause more damage in the long-term.

Built For Results. Backed By Science.

There’s a lot of noise when it comes to cures for acne and blemish-prone skin. Our formulations are gentle on the skin, and our acne specific skincare products work in conjunction with one other to reduce acne while keeping your skin’s natural barrier intact. Our acne-friendly cleansers gently dissolve makeup and dirt build up on skin, and can be followed by our peptide essence and hydrating serums (hyaluronic, vitamin c, niacinimide) to balance oils without drying out the face. Finding a routine that’s realistic, simple and results-based is key, and our products are here to help.
