Acne often occurs not only on the face (including forehead and chin), but also on the back. It is a complex condition that, in addition to genetics and hormonal changes, is closely connected with regimen. 

However, regular care is not always sufficient, and treatment, which should be consulted with a dermatologist or at least a cosmetic specialist focused on acne, is necessary. Fortunately, long-term clinical treatment concerns only a small percentage of the population. The rest of us should know at least some basic information and principles.

Acne is an inflammatory condition of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. If excess sebum production or a bacterial overgrowth occurs, follicles become clogged and comedones (i.e. whiteheads and blackheads) develop. 

They may continue to become inflamed and turn into red papules, pustules or cysts.

Acne mostly occurs around the forehead, nose, and chin, as well as the back and shoulders.

1.  Blackheads – open comedones
2. Whiteheads – closed comedones
3. Papules – minor, red, inflamed pimples
4. Pustules – pimples with white pus
5. Cysts – deep, painful acne lesions that can lead to scarring

• Mild acne – blackheads, whiteheads, and occasional pimples
• Moderate acne – redness, pustules, and a risk of hyperpigmentation
• Severe acne – cysts, requiring treatment by a dermatologist

Successful care for acne-prone skincare consists of gentleness and regularity. A suitable skincare routine has three steps:

Acne-prone skin needs gentle yet thorough cleansing but not harsh stripping. Aggressive products can upset the natural skin balance and paradoxically result in even higher sebum production. 

After cleansing, suitable hydration that helps restore and protect the skin barrier should follow.

The formulas are based on the HAPPY SKIN philosophy: a healthy, balanced skin is a happy skin.

The unique formulation includes herbal extracts that help remove toxins, impurities and excess sebum from the skin. Besides that, it provides intense, long-lasting and deep hydration, brightens the skin and creates a protective barrier against the harmful effects of the surrounding environment.

A great benefit of this range is its highly natural formulation and fresh cucumber scent, which perfectly enhances the feeling of refreshment and relief.

• A unique natural complex of cress, ivy, lemon, sage and burdock reduces sebum production
• Hydrating and soothing cucumber extract
• Lichen extract with valuable usnic acid, which has strong antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects

Soothing problematic skin and treating acne require patience. Use the product for 6 to 8 weeks, ideally, to objectively assess its effectiveness.

• Do not leave makeup on your skin overnight
• Do not share cosmetic accessories
• Avoid aggressive adstringents
• Do not squeeze pimples, otherwise you will worsen the inflammation
• Use the products regularly for at least 6 to 8 weeks
• In case of deep and painful acne, consult a dermatologist

We should pay attention to overall lifestyle improvement, which includes physical activity, regular and quality sleep, a healthy and balanced diet, as well as inner peace and tranquillity.

We wish you nice days and satisfied skin,
