Acne is a skin condition in which inflamed sebaceous glands cause the formation of blemishes on the skin. The inflammation is thought to be caused by an ordinary bacterial skin infection (especially propionibacterium acnes), and may sometimes require antibiotic treatment
When treating skin with acne, take diet and lifestyle into consideration as well, because the skin often reflects inner balance. If you have issues with skin impurities, eliminating sugar and wheat from your diet may help. Reducing carbohydrates tends to produce visible results in the skin after a while.
Pimples and acne can occur during puberty, usually due to an increase of testosterone in the body (in both genders). Acne can also have other causes. The skin is affected by hormones, diet and how you feel.
Clearing product series
Our Clearing product series includes cleansing and balancing products that are perfect for acne-prone skin. Among other things, they contain essential oils of Lemon, Bergamot, Lavender and Petitgrain, which are purifying and reduce sebum production. Other ingredients include innovative Lactic Acid and antibacterial Silica.
Suitable cleansers for acne-prone skin are CLEANSING CLAY and FOAMING WASH CLEARING. You can also supplement your cleansing routine with LEMON FRESHENER.
The recommended serum is SERUM CLEARING. It is a purifying and balancing serum for treating acne.
As a facial oil, you can use ROYAL FACIAL OIL CLEARING, which contains purifying essential oils. You can also use COLD PRESSED JOJOBA OIL which has a balancing effect.
FACE LOTION CLEARING and NIGHT CREAM are perfect as day and night creams.
If needed, you can also use FACE BALM. This softening balm locks moisture into the skin and protects against external stressors like cold and wind. At night, use NIGHT BALM instead.
Kick-start
If you feel your skin is in need of a kick-start, we recommend our clearing treatment with AHA & JOJOBA PEELING and FACE MASK CLEARING five nights in a row. Follow up with five more nights using just Face Mask Clearing at night. After that, carry out the treatment twice per week. You can also use Face Mask Clearing as a spot treatment on blemishes
and breakouts. Use FACE MASK GENTLE for variation.

Salon treatment
A facial treatment from a skin therapist is an excellent investment. After a thorough analyzis of your skin, your skin therapist will show you which products are suitable for you to use at home. Our AHA TREATMENT is very well suited to acne-prone skin. It is a shorter facial treatment in which the skin is exfoliated with fermented Lactic Acid that also strengthens and balances the skin. We also recommend our VITAMIN C TREATMENT. It is a shorter facial treatment with antiinflammatory properties that are suitable if you have mild acne.
