Hero Ingredients for acne prone Skin
Ultra Gentle Soothing Cleanser
- Canadian Willowherb is a natural plant extract with soothing anti-inflammatory properties which is perfect for sensitive irritated and inflamed skin. It can help combat Propionibacterium Acnes, the bacteria that contributes to acne formation. Research has demonstrated that Canadian Willowherb can effectively reduce inflammation and redness. In fact, it has been found to outperform a 1% hydrocortisone cream in terms of anti-inflammatory response.
- Panthenol, also known as Vitamin B5, has many benefits for acne-prone skin. It acts as a humectant to the skin by attracting and retaining moisture, which improves skin hydration. Panthenol helps strengthen the skin's protective barrier function, which plays a crucial role in maintaining healthy and resilient skin. Lastly, panthenol is also known for its skin-soothing and anti-inflammatory effects. It can help calm irritated skin and reduce redness. This makes it a suitable ingredient for individuals with sensitive or inflamed skin.
- Glycerin serves multiple purposes and provides numerous benefits for the skin. One key advantage of glycerin is its ability to prevent the stripping of the skin's natural oils, thereby avoiding a tight and dry feeling. Glycerin's moisturising properties replenishes the skins natural moisturising factor, promotes faster skin healing, and enhances optimal absorption of other topical ingredients.
Furthermore, glycerin is non-comedogenic, (non-pore clogging). This quality makes glycerin suitable for individuals with oily or acne-prone skin as it can help reduce excess oil without causing congestion.

Additionally, this ingredient has been found to restore skin balance and soothe the skin, which may contribute to improving acne prone skin.

Allantoin has been found to have strong hydrating capabilities and can be effective in combination with other ingredients commonly found in acne skincare products.

- Salvia officinalis (sage oil) possess antimicrobial and astringent properties that may be beneficial for controlling acne. Its astringent properties may help in reducing excess oil production and tightening pores, potentially reducing the risk of clogged pores that can lead to acne. Sage oil is known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which may aid in soothing and calming irritated skin.

It has been found to be beneficial for acne-prone skin. Glycolic acid exfoliates the surface layer, helping to remove dead skin cells and unclog pores. It can also help fade acne scars and dark spots left behind by acne.
- Liquorice Root Extract has anti-inflammatory and soothing properties which can reduce redness and inflammation associated with acne. It can help regulate sebum production, therefore preventing pore clogging and acne formation. Liquorice root extract also contains glabridin, a potent antioxidant that helps protect the skin from free radical damage and aids in brightening the skin and improving uneven skin tone.
- Olive Squalane is beneficial for acne-prone skin due to its hydrating properties and potential to reduce inflammation and soothe irritation. Because of its anti-inflammatory properties, squalane can help with acne by increasing hydration and calming the skin.

- Sandwiched between your serum and emulsion
- Removed after 20-30 mins if you prefer to have the serum and emulsion only on your skin overnight

Incorporating probiotics like Lactococcus Ferment Lysate into skincare products has been studied for their role in combatting harmful microbes and reducing inflammation associated with acne. Research suggests that Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is a promising ingredient in treating acne due to its ability to support skin health and microbiome balance.
