Soothe inflammations: Cosmetics brands that people have come up with acne

Text: Irina Kuzmicheva

We have already talked about acne positive and supporters of this movement, who are not shy about the characteristics of their skin and invite others to repeat after them. Feeling awkward because of inflammation is definitely not worth it, but if you want acne, you can try to cure - or reduce its manifestations. We found eight beauty brands, whose founders improved the health of their skin, as well as the skin of customers with the help of cosmetics.

Rosen skincare

Face Serum with Citrus Serum 20% Vitamin C Bright

Cleanser Super Smoothie Cleanser

The founder of the brand, twenty-two-year-old Dzhamika Martin believes that acne is normal, as is the desire to get rid of them. The girl tried to cope with inflammation for many years, but even Accutane (a form of vitamin A, a popular component of potent acne remedies) did not help. To create your own brand, Dzhamiki had not only an excuse, but also a degree in economics from the University of California.

Rosen products are addressed to young consumers, for whom asceticism in composition and design is as important as eco-responsibility. Rosen has products for scarring, inflammation, for oily skin and for radiance, which is often devoid of acne prone skin. The division is rather formal, since the funds are few and almost all of them are universal. They also look great - for example, a Super Smoothie Cleanser with a raspberry and strawberry powder that has been ground into a powder.

Skinlycious

Anti-inflammation agent Anti-Acne Solution

Anti-Acne Wash

Because of white eels, Jasmine, in her own words, constantly felt the intrusive attention of others. For fourteen years, she tried, it seems, everything: expensive care, chemical peels, microdermabrasion and removal of foci of inflammation with a laser. All to no avail, but in the process she found out which components improve skin well-being and in what concentrations and proportions you need to apply them.

Now Jasmine is grateful for this experience and is happy to help others. After several months of research and development, Skinlycious developed a triplet Anti-Acne Bundle - a three-step treatment against clogged pores, increased sebum secretion and inflammation itself. According to legend, Jasmine herself uses it. The brand has a few basic assistants, and on the website you can see an explanatory list of comedogenic ingredients.

Clark's Botanicals

Facial Mask Intense Radiance Mask

Smoothing Marine Cream

Seventeen years ago, Francesco Clark quit Harper's Bazaar fashion assistant and went on vacation. Unsuccessfully jumping into the pool, he received a serious spinal injury. Damage to the central nervous system, Francesco lost the ability not only to walk, but also to sweat - this led to clogged pores, inflammation, rosacea and peeling on the face, back, chest. Then Francesco, with his father and part-time doctor, did everything themselves - as a result of the joint work of the inflammation, Francesco left.

In 2005, the Clark's Botanicals brand was able to try everyone else. Now the brand has products for skin of different condition and age, but the main task is still to restore its hydro-lipid balance. The mission was entrusted to the absolute jasmine, an essential oil with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory action. It is included in all products for the face and body, for example, the Skin Clearing Face and Body Wash cleansing gel scrub. And in Retinol Rescue Overnight night cream, retinol is also applied to smooth out post-acne scars - it can be applied to the whole body.

Oumere

Acid Peeling No. 9 Daily Chemical Exfoliant

Serum Bioluminelle antioxidant face serum

Wendy Oriel had undemanding skin, so the woman’s care consisted of one Sanskrin. By twenty-five, Oriel had convinced someone that the time had come for anti-aging products, but it was because of them that inflammation and redness had first appeared. The acne treatment has helped, but not for long.

Fortunately, Wendy was not only a victim of unsuccessful advice or improper care, but also a specialist in cell biology. After examining the reasons why wrinkles and inflammation can simultaneously occur on the skin, Oriel came to the conclusion that her care contained substances that damage the skin and accelerate aging. Essential oils, artificial flavors, alcohol provide the cream with a pleasant smell and texture, but do not help the skin. It is clear that they are not in Oumere formulas. The main composition of all five products (cleansing, peeling, facial serum, eye serum and sanskrin) - vegetable oils, extracts and acids. At the same time, $ 170 is asked for the serum, most of which, obviously, went to design, and he is unconditionally good.

Peter Thomas Roth

Acne Clearing Wash Cleansing Gel

Cotton swabs soaked in lotion, 20% Complex Glycolic Solutions Jumbo Peel Swab

Usually, speaking of the brand Peter Thomas Roth, they talk about family spa resorts in Hungary. It was in the century before last, and it was reflected in the concept of the brand except in the form of a cute myth - therapeutic mud is now packaged in every second jar. But the skin condition of Peter Thomas Roth matters: he won teenage acne, but he does not hide that a couple of inflammations per week still occur.

For all those who are familiar with the situation, PTR has Acne Treatments for twenty years, with this treatment fresh inflammations go faster, new ones appear less frequently. Instead of creams and serums, there are tiny transparent patches with 0.5% salicylic acid and Complexion Correction Pads exfoliated discs soaked in 10% glycolic acid, and salicylic in them already 2%. The percentage of active ingredients is indicated on the package and helps to correctly select the care: if the skin is prone to redness and peeling, you should start with the minimum dosage. Acne Treatments are a useful addition to basic care. So it was conceived: Roth is not trying to sell the whole line in one hand, but suggests to integrate one suitable product into his usual beauty schedule.

Cocokind

Toner face Raspberry Vinegar Toner

Stick for spot use Turmeric Spot Treatment

Priscilla Tsai worked as an investment banker on Wall Street, and since college she knew firsthand what hormonal acne is. Further, all the familiar scenario. When the long-term use of antibiotics did not help, Priscilla began to invent remedies herself - and when they worked, she returned to her native San Francisco and started production. Unlike many manufacturers of oil-free products for oily skin, Cocokind oils are respected, especially difficult: chia seed, baobab, inca-inchi.

Even five years later, Tsai devises and tests all the products herself. She claims that she ensures that they comply with the three principles: cleanliness, awareness and an affordable price (not more than $ 25). Priscilla itself uses the Raspberry Vinegar Toner toner to regulate sebum production, the Turmeric Spot Treatment stick of inflammation and inflammatory Chlorophyll Mask (recommended to dilute with water, toner, yogurt or oil). Another reason to pay attention to the brand - the company employs only women, even in the warehouse.

Ole henriksen

Moisturizer Counter Balance Oil Control Hydrator

Find Your Balance Oil Control Cleanser

At nineteen, Ole Henriksen went from a Danish village to Jakarta to work as a dancer and model, due to climate change, he developed cystic acne. A certain Lagita, an esthetist and Ole's girlfriend, cured his skin with Indonesian folk recipes, after which Henriksen switched from dancing to skin care.

After studying cosmetic chemistry, he opened the Ole Henriksen of Denmark Skincare Center in West Hollywood. Creams and masks cooked in the kitchen and brought into the office on a bicycle. Celebrities of the time, this detail is not embarrassed, and in 1983, the Dane launched the eponymous home care brand. And so that the story with Jakarta does not happen again, it releases products for matting, seborrhea- tion and moisturizing (which is important, because acne skin is often dehydrated due to care) - all in green packaging.

Austin Skin +

Clay Mask SulZinc

Cleanser Pro-B5 Wash

As a teenager, because of the skin condition, Carly Pilar missed parties, inflammations did not hide even a few layers of foundation. Carly grew up to be an esthetician and opened an Austin Skin + clinic specializing in the treatment of acne and more. If a trip to Austin in Texas is not part of your short-term plans, you can order home care.

Although Pilar (like any doctor) recommends not self-medicating and believes that there is no universal product for everyone, home care is designed to meet the needs of the majority. For acquaintance with the system of Carly Pilar, the Acne Starter Kit was invented - seven products in a travel format. There is no exotic in the list of ingredients, only the main players: benzoyl peroxide, enzymes, "summer" acids (almond and lactic).
