Acne & Blemishes

Acne is a skin condition marked by comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), pimples and inflamed spots. Its main causes are excess sebum production, pores clogged with dead skin cells, the growth of bacteria (C. acnes) and inflammation.

Care for acne-prone skin should be targeted but gentle. Ingredients that help keep the pores clear are important, such as salicylic acid (BHA), which dissolves the oil inside the pores. Anti-inflammatory and antibacterial ingredients such as tea tree oil, centella asiatica (Centella Asiatica) and houttuynia (Houttuynia Cordata) help calm the skin and speed up the healing of spots. Avoid over-drying the skin, which can make the problem worse.
