Skincare for Acne-Prone Skin

Acne is a condition of the hair follicle and the oil gland attached to it, influenced by hormones, inflammation, barrier function, the skin's microbiome, genetics and stress. It responds well when treatment is matched to the type of acne, the stage it is at and the person, and poorly to guesswork. The breakout you see today began forming weeks ago, which is why we judge progress at eight to twelve weeks.

Acne skincare is not a pick and mix, and skincare alone does not replace a skin assessment and a personalised plan from our experienced dermal clinicians. Fewer products, chosen properly and used consistently, beat a complicated routine. Stop over-exfoliating, layering strong actives and picking, and wear sunscreen every day.

Our nurse and dermal clinician picks

  • Calm: iS Clinical Pro-Heal Serum Advance+, our first choice for reactive, blemish-prone skin.
  • Blemishes and marks: Dermaceutic Dual+, our go-to for blemish-prone skin and the marks breakouts leave behind.
  • Clarify: iS Clinical Active Serum, a botanical serum we use for blemish-prone skin.
  • Soothe and hydrate: iS Clinical Hydra-Cool Serum, to keep the barrier supported while you treat.
