Acne & Blemishes

Acne forms when sebum, dead skin cells, and bacteria block a hair follicle. The culprit - Cutibacterium acnes - thrives in low-oxygen environments, triggering the inflammation we see as redness and swelling. Aggressive cleansing makes this worse: stripped skin overproduces oil, perpetuating the cycle. The most effective approach is gentle and anti-inflammatory - using botanicals like rosehip, jojoba, and calendula that regulate sebum and calm the immune response without disrupting the skin's microbiome.
