My skin has acne and some blackheads. What can I do?
Our approach to acne or blemishes is to normalize skin, not over dry it. But there is no single magic bullet. It takes a program. First step is to STOP medicated soaps, or any of the severe drying coverups or treatments. Instead we recommend cleansing with our #890 Sea Salt Cleansing Gel, a gentle, soothing cleansing gel that helps calm and cleanse your skin. Alternatively, we also recommend #185 Glycolic Acid Facial Cleanser. This deep-acting cleanser is gentle enough to help remove oil as it cleanses blemished skin. Follow with #184 Glycolic Acid Facial Toner for pH balancing and smoothing the skin. A very beneficial, twice a week cleansing supplement is #449 Problem Skin Mask to help remove impurities that can cause blemishes while leaving the skin feeling soothed, cool and clean. Gentle enough for everyday use, try #600 Bamboo Charcoal Mask to deep cleanse and gently exfoliate the skin. And vital for removing obstacles to the normal flow of oil and improving skin texture is our #107 Light Skin Peel. Hydration for more sensitive skins, we recommend #888 Calming Renewal Serum followed by #889 Calming Rejuvenation Creme. Together, these product will address redness and irritation with anti-inflammation reducing compounds to calm and nourish the skin. For brightening dull, acne scarred skin, #985 Multi-Factor Brightening Creme combines Azelaic acid and Tranexamic acid will help reduce the appearance of acne scarring and improve discoloration.
