The Benefits

Scar-Repairing

Anti-Scarring skincare targets the pigmented and textured scars left by acne breakouts. These scars form due to inflammation disrupting collagen, elastin fibres, and melanin-producing cells, leading to uneven healing, indented areas, and dark red marks during recovery. Anti-Scarring actives harness growth factors and other essential elements to stimulate cell repair and regeneration, optimising the skin's healing process to reduce scar formation. They also effectively diminish older pigmented scars, improving overall skin texture and leaving you with a smoother, brighter complexion and significantly reduced scar visibility.

Purifying

Purifying your skin means removing impurities, reducing excess oil, and deep cleansing to minimise a greasy or shiny appearance and prevent breakouts. This process leaves your skin clearer, more balanced, and looking fresh.

Sebum Regulating (Mattifying)

Sebum regulation involves normalising oil production in your sebaceous glands to reduce shine, oiliness, and breakouts, restoring your skin's natural balance. Overactive sebaceous glands can be triggered by internal factors like genetics, hormonal changes, and stress, as well as external factors such as climate, pollution, and diet. Excessive sebum production can lead to enlarged pores, acne, and an oily, shiny appearance. Effective sebum regulation means using skincare products that balance oil levels without over-drying your skin, helping you achieve a clearer, more matte complexion.

Pore Tightening & Minimising

Pore minimising involves reducing the appearance of enlarged pores. Enlarged pores often result from excess oil production and accumulated impurities, which stretch them over time. ageing also plays a role, as reduced skin elasticity makes pores more visible. Pore-minimising formulas tackle these issues by regulating oil production and boosting collagen and elastin to enhance skin elasticity. This helps pores return to their natural, less noticeable shape, giving your skin a smoother, more refined look.

Anti-Pigmentation

Dealing with pigmentation means targeting melanin overproduction to reduce dark spots and prevent new ones. Melanin production can be triggered by UV exposure, pollution, hormonal changes (like during pregnancy), and inflammation (from acne or cuts). This excess pigment is then transferred to surrounding cells in epidermis called keratinocytes, which then moves to the skin's surface, causing visible dark spots.

To treat hyperpigmentation, a personalised and consistent approach is needed. Our anti-pigmentation products include lightening agents to block tyrosinase (the enzyme that creates melanin), antioxidants to fight free radicals, and ingredients to speed up skin cell turnover, removing pigmented cells. Using broad-spectrum sun protection is crucial to prevent new pigmentation during treatment.

Regenerating

Regenerative benefits work to restore and renew your skin at a cellular level. By stimulating cell turnover and boosting collagen and elastin production, they help repair damage, diminish fine lines and wrinkles, and improve overall skin texture. The result is a rejuvenated, firmer, and more youthful complexion that radiates vitality.

Anti-Inflammatory

Anti-Inflammatory skincare soothes, heal, and balance your skin, the targeted actives are designed to reduce inflammation. Inflammation is your body's natural response to injury or irritation, but continuous inflammation can lead to troublesome skin conditions like acne, rosacea, or eczema. Our anti-inflammatory skincare solutions work to soothe and calm your skin, reducing redness, swelling, and discomfort to provide much-needed relief. By strengthening your skin's barrier, these products help protect against further irritation and damage. Additionally, the anti-inflammatory actives support your skin's natural healing processes, leading to a more balanced and resilient complexion.

Anti-PIH (Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation)

Anti-PIH treatments target Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH), which shows up as dark marks after inflammation or injury, like acne. These skincare products help heal the skin, reduce inflammation, and promote regeneration while blocking melanin production. This helps fade and prevent dark marks effectively.

Active Ingredients

Maracuja Oil

Maracuja oil focuses on promoting and healing damaged skin by stimulating cell proliferation and the dermal-epidermal junction (aka "DEJ") to repair tissues. It also activates the synthesis of elastin and collagen which regenerates and restructures the skin. Meaning that it is proficient at healing post-inflammatory hyper pigmentation (PIH) and scarring.

Centella Asiatica

Centella Asiatica is a powerful antioxidant which has immense anti-inflammatory, soothing and wound-healing benefits. Rich in chlorophyll, it is also extremely proficient at reducing redness. Also known as "Tiger Grass" as tigers were known to roll in it after having been wounded.

Stabilised Vitamin C

Stabilised Vitamin C is an upgraded form of the "Vitamin C" ingredient as it has been formulated so that it cannot oxidise, which would render it ineffective. It is a powerful antioxidant which reduces cell ageing by fighting free-radicals and stimulating collagen synthesis. It is also very adept at moderating melanin production, which effectively limits pigmentation, brightening and lightening the skin.

Vitamin B3 (Niacinamide)

Vitamin B3 also known as Niacinamide, is versatile and highly effective ingredient with many benefits. It helps to strengthen skin barrier function and increase water retention by increasing natural ceramide production. It's anti-inflammatory and sebum regulating properties soothe, repair and balance irritated, weakened and acne prone skins. Niacinamide is also a potent antioxidant with protective and brightening properties helping to restore skin's natural glow.

Yeast Extract

Yeast is composed of Salts, Carbohydrates, Lipids & Vitamins offering many different benefits. Yeast's main role is to sebum (oil) regulate and balance the skin, without overly stripping it, by offering a detoxifying action at the cellular level. The result is a more mattified, brighter and clearer skin.

Biomimetic Placenta

Biomimetic Placenta contains key Growth Factors similar to those in the human placenta, aiding in cell growth and skin regeneration. This helps heal and reduce post-acne hyperpigmentation (PIH) and scarring. Additionally, it boosts collagen and elastin production, enhancing skin elasticity and firmness while reducing fine lines and wrinkles.

Understanding Acne Scarring & Post-Inflammatory Hyperpigmentation (PIH)

Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common skin condition that occurs when excess melanin is produced after inflammation, resulting in dark spots or patches. It often follows acne, eczema or injuries, particularly in those with medium to darker skin tones. PIH is not a true scar but can resemble one due to its lingering discolouration. Skincare for PIH focuses on brightening ingredients like vitamin C, niacinamide and retinoids to reduce pigmentation, while sun protection is essential to prevent spots from darkening. Unlike scars, PIH usually fades over time but can benefit from targeted treatments.

    Wonderful product!

    I use it together with serum Colostrum and it’s definitely a top combination! My skin is very hydrated and smooth. The only minus is a smell but you get used to it pretty quickly:)

    Holy grail

    I will never stop using this cream. I apply this every night and without fail every day my skin looks better than before. Any spots seem to all but vanish, my skin looks plump and hydrated without being shiney and it has a lovely feel on the skin. Took me around a week or two to really feel my skin got used to it, not that i had a bad reaction but at the very start it didnt seem to absorb well but that quickly subsided. Been using this for 9 months and cant go without it
