Benefits

Comprehensive blemish routine: Specifically curated for breakout-prone and oily skin.
Deeply clears pores & pimples: AHA, BHA, and Charcoal help detoxify and decongest clogged pores.
Accelerates skin renewal: Pure Retinol smooths uneven texture and helps fade the look of post-blemish marks.
Gentle daily exfoliation: PHA gently cleanses and clears away dead skin cells without stripping moisture.
Soothes & calms: Sheet mask delivers concentrated salicylic acid to calm active blemishes and reduce redness.
Daily UV & mark protection: Broad-spectrum SPF 50+ enriched with 5% Niacinamide protects sensitive, blemish-prone skin and helps prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots).

How to Use

Cleanse (AM & PM): Start by washing the face with the PHA 3% Cleanser to remove dirt, excess sebum, and impurities. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry.
Target / Exfoliate (AM or Alternate Days): Apply a few drops of the AHA + BHA 10% Charcoal Complex Serum to the face and neck, focusing on areas prone to breakouts, blackheads, and congestion.
Renew (PM): In the evening, apply 2–3 drops of the Pure Retinol 0.2% Serum to clean, dry skin to encourage cell turnover and target post-acne texture (if you are new to retinol, start by using 2–3 nights per week and avoid layering directly with the AHA/BHA serum in the same routine).
Sheet Mask (1–2x Weekly): After cleansing, unfold the Spots + Blemish + Salicylic Acid Face Mask Sheet and apply it smoothly over the face. Relax for 15–20 minutes, then remove and gently pat the remaining serum into the skin.
Protect (AM): Always finish your morning routine by gliding the SPF 50+ Sunscreen + Niacinamide 5% Stick generously over your face and neck 15 minutes before sun exposure to shield renewing skin from UV damage. Reapply as needed throughout the day.

: This routine is designed to treat active pimples, decongest clogged pores, control excess oil, and reduce the appearance of post-blemish redness and dark marks.
: The PHA 3% Cleanser and SPF 50+ Sunscreen Stick are formulated for daily use. If you are introducing the AHA + BHA Charcoal Complex Serum and Pure Retinol 0.2% Serum, start slowly: use the Charcoal Serum during the day (or on alternate evenings) and the Retinol Serum 2–3 nights per week, gradually increasing frequency as your skin builds tolerance.
: Use once or twice daily – morning and/or evening – after cleansing and before moisturizing. Always follow with sunscreen during the day.
To prevent irritation, we recommend alternating them. Use the AHA + BHA Charcoal Serum during your daytime routine or on alternating nights, and reserve the Pure Retinol 0.2% Serum for evening use only.
: Use the mask 2–3 times a week after cleansing for an extra clarifying and oil-control boost.
: Yes! Exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA/PHA) and Retinol accelerate cell turnover and make your skin more vulnerable to sun damage and dark spots. The included SPF 50+ Sunscreen + Niacinamide Stick ensures daily high-factor protection with added brightening benefits.
: Skin feels fresher, cleaner, and less shiny after the first wash and sheet mask application. Significant reductions in breakouts, clearer pores, and smoother skin texture typically appear within 2 to 4 weeks of consistent use.

When to Apply

Morning (AM): Cleanse with PHA 3% Cleanser, apply AHA + BHA 10% Charcoal Complex Serum, and always finish by applying the SPF 50+ Sunscreen + Niacinamide 5% Stick before heading outside.

Night (PM): Cleanse with PHA 3% Cleanser, then apply 2–3 drops of Pure Retinol 0.2% Serum.

Weekly Boost: Use the Spots + Blemish Mask 1–2 times a week in the evening immediately after cleansing.

How to Apply

Cleanse: Lather a small amount of PHA 3% Cleanser onto damp skin, massage gently over the face and neck for 60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat dry.

Purify & Exfoliate (AM / Alternate Routine): Dispense 2–3 drops of the AHA + BHA 10% Charcoal Complex Serum onto fingertips and press into areas prone to blemishes, enlarged pores, or excess oil.

Renew (PM Routine): At night, apply 2–3 drops of the Pure Retinol 0.2% Serum to clean, dry skin, avoiding the delicate eye area.

Targeted Sheet Mask (Weekly): Place the Spots + Blemish + Salicylic Acid Face Mask onto freshly cleansed skin. Relax for 15–20 minutes, remove the sheet, and gently pat the excess serum into your skin.

Protect (Every AM): Glide the SPF 50+ Sunscreen + Niacinamide 5% Stick generously across face and neck 15 minutes prior to sun exposure, reapplying as needed.

Activated Charcoal

Acts like a magnet to bind to daily pollutants, excess sebum, and impurities, drawing them away from congested skin to purify and minimise the look of enlarged pores.

Retinol

Retinol is a powerful derivative of vitamin A widely used in skincare for its proven anti-ageing and skin-renewing benefits. It works by accelerating cell turnover, helping to shed dull, damaged skin cells and reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. Retinol also supports collagen production, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time. With consistent use, it helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, uneven texture, and pigmentation, leaving the complexion clearer, more refined, and youthful-looking.

Salicylic Acid

This multifunctional ingredient addresses many of the systemic causes of acne. For decades dermatologists have been prescribing salicylic acid as a gentle exfoliant and anti-inflammatory. Salicylic acid’s antimicrobial properties make it extremely effective at treating breakouts. It has the ability to penetrate into the pore lining and exfoliate inside the pore as well as on the surface of skin, which makes it effective for reducing breakouts, including blackheads and whiteheads.

: Before incorporating new active products into your daily regimen, we strongly advise performing a patch test on a small, hidden patch of skin (such as behind the ear or on the inner forearm) Because this routine contains potent active ingredients (AHAs, BHAs, and Retinol), avoid layering the Charcoal Serum and Retinol Serum in the exact same application. Always apply broad-spectrum sunscreen daily while using exfoliating acids and retinol. If severe irritation or peeling occurs, reduce the frequency of use. Not recommended for use during pregnancy or nursing due to retinol.
: The products in this kit are dermatologist-tested and formulated to effectively target the core triggers of pimples: trapped dead skin cells, excess sebum, and congested pores. Each active is calibrated to deliver visible blemish-clearing results while preserving skin barrier health.
