Spot or blemish prone skin can often be described as a skin type, but your skin is always changing in response to hormones, diet, health, environment and DNA.
We consider spot or blemish prone skin to be one of the major skin concerns that needs to be understood. Using our Skin Diagnostic, we can help you to discover more about your skin.
Spots and blemishes occur mostly as a result of blockages at the pores, where the tiny hairs and sebum emerge on the face.
Blockages can happen as a result of dirt or debris in the form of old skin cells that have not been effectively removed. As the pore is blocked, sebum builds up under the blockage, causing a swollen spot.
Sebum production can change in response to fluctuating hormones as a result of stress (cortisol increase) or occur during the menstrual cycle or menopause in women.
The likelihood of experiencing spots or blemishes is influenced by your DNA and is also higher in certain ethnic groups. Age also influences the tendency for spots, with teens and early 20’shaving a greater incidence and gradually reducing over the years, but sometimes the problem can re-emerge as a result of hormonal changes.
A phenomenon called post-inflammatory pigmentation can sometimes occur in darker skin tones, enhancing the appearance of spot-prone skin, making it look worse than it actually is.
Finding a skincare solution and lifestyle balance that works for you is key to managing spotty or blemish prone skin. Taking our Skin Diagnostic will give you a fully personalised skin score against all major skin concerns, including spots and blemishes. We will recommend products that will help you to better care for your skin, now and in the future.
Having skin with spots or blemishes is manageable with the right understanding and products to help calm the skin and reduce redness and to help balance the production of oil in the long term, without over-drying the skin.
Lack of sleep and increased emotional stress can impact on hormonal changes and exacerbate the problem. Having a healthy diet and finding time for exercise can help in reducing the incidence and severity of outbreaks and maintain healthier looking skin.

The unique process and assessment that we use helps to understand the likely factors that contribute to an individual’s skin concerns. This allows us to narrow down the combination that we think will best suit the individual.
We use data from known variations in ethnicities and likely hereditary patterns to further zone-in on the best combination.

No, our products are NOT tested on animals.
Although some countries still demand animal testing on finished products, we’ve made the decision not to distribute our products in those countries.
Our products are NOT vegan certified, but wherever possible we try to avoid the use of animal-derived ingredients. And, at the moment, none of our formulations contain animal-derived products.
We do not, under any circumstances, use any ingredients that are derived from endangered marine animals. (For example, squalene)
We also do not use any colours in our products that are derived from animals. (For example, carmine.)
However, future formulations might contain beeswax or lanolin. Although these ingredients are animal-derived, sourcing them does not cause any harm to the animal.
Yes, some of our products do contain alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA).
Alpha Hydroxy Acids are used for their exfoliating properties. However, this can lead to sun sensitivity due to the resultant thinning of the facial skin.
If you are using one of our products that contain AHAs, we recommend the additional use of a supplementary skincare product that has the appropriate UV protection.
