Acne Be Gone — Clear Skin, Backed by Science
Acne isn’t just a teenage concern — it can affect adults at any age and stage of life. Hormones, stress, genetics, skincare habits, and even the environment can all play a role. But no matter the cause, the solution starts with understanding your skin and treating it with targeted, medical-grade care.
At S C I E N C E +, our approach to acne is simple: address the root cause, not just the surface symptoms. Here’s how science and consistency can help you achieve clear, balanced, and healthy-looking skin.
1. Understand What Causes Acne
Acne forms when pores become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and bacteria.
This leads to inflammation and visible breakouts such as blackheads, whiteheads, papules, or cysts.
While factors like hormones and stress can trigger flare-ups, using the wrong products
— or too many harsh ones — often makes things worse by disrupting your skin barrier.
Balanced skin is healthy skin. The goal isn’t to strip away oil — it’s to restore balance.
2. Cleanse the Right Way
Proper cleansing is the foundation of clear skin.
Using a gentle, medical-grade cleanser removes impurities and excess oil without over- drying or irritating the skin.
Start with:
• Morning: Hydrating Cleanser + — to refresh and lightly purify without stripping essential moisture.
• Evening: Exfoliating Cleanser + — formulated to lift impurities and help clear congestion, leaving skin smooth and refined.
Founder Tip: Wash your face twice daily and after workouts — but never scrub aggressively; it can worsen inflammation.
3. Balance & Calm the Skin
After cleansing, your skin’s pH can become imbalanced. Using a toner helps restore harmony while tightening pores and preparing skin for treatment products.
Our Pro Toner + contains Hyaluronic Acid, Provitamin B5, and antioxidants to calm irritation and lightly hydrate — helping prevent the overproduction of oil that can lead to breakouts.
4. Target with Proven Active Ingredients
Treating acne effectively requires science-backed actives that address bacteria, excess oil, and inflammation.
At S C I E N C E +, we recommend:
• Clarifying Serum — a powerful yet gentle formula that helps reduce congestion, minimize breakouts, and refine pores.
Packed with exfoliating acids and calming antioxidants, it clears the skin while preserving its moisture barrier.
• Vitamin C 15 % Serum — helps fade post-acne marks and prevent new blemishes through antioxidant protection and skin renewal.
Consistency is key: apply treatment serums daily to maintain long-term clarity and smoothness.
5. Hydrate — Even if You Have Acne
One of the biggest misconceptions about acne-prone skin is that it doesn’t need moisturizer.
In reality, dehydrated skin compensates by producing more oil — worsening breakouts.
• Day: Use Pro Day Cream + — lightweight, non-comedogenic hydration infused with peptides and antioxidants.
• Night: Apply Overnight Collagen + Mask for calming, barrier repair and recovery.
6. Avoid These Common Acne Mistakes
Over-exfoliating or using multiple harsh actives at once
Skipping moisturizer or SPF
Sleeping in makeup
Constantly touching or picking at blemishes
Using products not suited for your skin type
Each of these habits can inflame skin and prolong healing — gentle consistency always wins over aggression.
7. Support Skin Health from the Inside Out
Your skin reflects your overall wellness. Combine your routine with these healthy habits:
• Stay hydrated throughout the day
• Eat a balanced diet with low refined sugar
• Manage stress through exercise, sleep, or mindfulness
• Regularly clean pillowcases and makeup brushes
