Collection: Acne & Breakouts

Breakouts happen when oil and dead skin clog pores and bacteria and inflammation follow. Hormones and stress can make them worse. For persistent acne, see a GP or dermatologist.

Best ingredients for acne and breakouts

• Salicylic acid (BHA): oil-soluble, so it gets into pores to clear out oil and dead skin.
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3): helps even out tone, refine the look of pores and support the barrier.
• Azelaic acid: gently exfoliates and calms, helping with redness, bumps and post-blemish marks.
• Heartleaf (houttuynia): a soothing botanical that helps calm redness and keep oiliness in check.
• Hydrocolloid patches: cover and protect a spot, absorb fluid and stop you picking.
