Skin problems
Acne
What characterizes it?
Impure skin with acne manifests as pimples, inflamed bumps, blackheads, and an uneven, shiny T-zone. It is one of the most common skin problems and can occur at any age, from teenage acne to adult acne linked to hormones and stress.
How do you treat that?
The key to calmer skin is breaking the cycle of clogged pores without damaging the skin barrier. A routine that combines gentle cleansing with targeted active ingredients like BHA and light, oil-free moisturizers deep-cleanses the skin while keeping it hydrated and protected.
Causes & characteristics
Sebum overproduction
Overactive sebaceous glands clog pores and create a breeding ground for bacteria.
Hormonal fluctuations
Menstrual cycles, stress, and puberty can trigger new breakouts.
Wrong products
Heavy, comedogenic creams worsen clogged pores.
What you should avoid
- Heavy, oil-based products that can further clog the pores.
- Harsh scrubbing or mechanical exfoliation that tears at inflamed skin.
- Squeezing pimples increases the risk of scarring and the spread of bacteria.
Recommended routine
Clean
Gentle foaming cleanser for morning and evening. Overly aggressive cleansing causes the skin to produce even more sebum.
Treat
Exfoliate 2-3 times/week with BHA to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells inside the pores.
Moisturize
Lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that won't clog pores. If you skip the cream, your skin may compensate by producing more sebum.
Key Ingredients
Salicylic acid (BHA)
Penetrates into the pores and dissolves sebum and dead skin cells at the source.
Niacinamide
Regulates sebum production and calms inflammation without irritating the skin.
Prebiotics
Food for the skin's own microbiome, which helps to strengthen the skin barrier.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use BHA every day?
Start with 2-3 times a week and only increase if your skin feels calm. Daily exfoliation is rarely necessary and can stress the barrier.
Should I skip moisturizer if my skin is oily?
No. Without moisture, the skin may compensate by producing even more sebum. Choose a light, oil-free cream instead.
How long will it take before I see results?
The skin renews itself in cycles, so expect a few weeks of regular use before evaluating a new routine.
Does the routine work for sensitive, acne-prone skin?
Yes, but proceed more slowly: fewer active ingredients at a time and exfoliation less often.
