mature skin
Our formula for mature skin was formulated to do more than just treat breakouts. Adult acne comes with its own set of challenges—hormonal shifts, slower cell turnover, and skin that craves both clarity and care. So we crafted a blend that works gently but effectively, targeting blemishes while supporting healing and fading discoloration. And because aging gracefully is always the goal, we infused it with skin-loving nutrients like antioxidants, peptides, and hydrating botanicals to smooth, strengthen, and restore that natural glow.
Hormonal Balance:
Vitex (Chaste Tree Berry):
Helps regulate progesterone and estrogen levels, supporting hormonal balance and reducing the hormonal triggers for acne.
Maca Root:
Known to balance hormones by supporting adrenal function and reducing symptoms like hot flashes, mood swings, and acne.
DIM (Diindolylmethane):
Helps with estrogen metabolism and reduces estrogen dominance, which is linked to acne.
Anti-inflammatory and Skin Repair:
Zinc:
An essential mineral that supports immune function, reduces inflammation, and has a direct effect on acne by helping with healing.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids (EPA/DHA):
Reduces inflammation, supports skin health, and can help with hormonal regulation.
Turmeric (Curcumin):
Potent anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce acne inflammation and improve skin tone.
Antioxidants for Hyperpigmentation:
Vitamin C: A powerful antioxidant that helps with collagen production and reduces hyperpigmentation by inhibiting melanin production.
Vitamin E: Supports skin healing and can help reduce the appearance of scars and pigmentation by promoting skin regeneration.
Glutathione: A potent antioxidant that helps reduce oxidative stress, supports detoxification, and can lighten dark spots.
Support for Liver Detoxification:
Milk Thistle (Silymarin):
Supports liver detoxification, crucial for the proper metabolism of estrogen and preventing hormone-related skin issues.
N-Acetyl Cysteine (NAC):
Supports liver detox, helps regulate hormonal imbalances, and can have a positive effect on acne.

Topical Treatments for Acne:
a. Salicylic Acid (BHA)
Why it helps: Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores to exfoliate the skin and remove excess oil and dead skin cells, preventing clogged pores that lead to acne. It also helps reduce inflammation.
Usage: Apply a salicylic acid-based cleanser or spot treatment to affected areas once or twice a day.
c. Niacinamide (Topical)
Why it helps: In addition to being effective as an internal supplement, niacinamide (vitamin B3) in topical form can reduce inflammation, brighten dark spots, and control oil production, which is critical for managing acne.
Usage: Apply a niacinamide serum to the entire face or specific acne spots 1-2 times per day.
d. Tea Tree Oil
Why it helps: Tea tree oil has natural antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties that help to kill acne-causing bacteria and reduce swelling and redness. It is an excellent natural alternative to benzoyl peroxide for gentle acne treatment.
Usage: Apply diluted tea tree oil (a few drops mixed with a carrier oil like coconut oil) directly to the affected areas.
e. Glycolic (REWRITE BOTTOM)
Why it helps: Topical retinoids like adapalene help regulate skin cell turnover, preventing clogged pores and reducing acne. They are also beneficial for acne scars and pigmentation.
Usage: Apply a thin layer of adapalene gel at night, as it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.
Lifestyle Considerations:
-
Diet: Reducing processed foods, dairy, and high-glycemic foods (like sugary snacks) may help reduce acne flare-ups. Focus on a diet rich in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
-
Hydration: Drinking plenty of water helps maintain skin hydration and flush out toxins, which can improve skin clarity.
-
Sleep: Getting enough sleep (7-9 hours a night) is essential for hormonal balance and overall skin health.
-
Stress Management: High stress can lead to hormonal imbalances that exacerbate acne. Incorporate stress-reducing activities like yoga, meditation, or regular exercise.
