Binchotan Charcoal & Kaolin Clay — Detoxifying Charcoal Cleanser

Deep pore decongestion and oil absorption without stripping the skin.

Salicylic Acid, Niacinamide, Bakuchiol — Anti-Blemish Concentrate

Pore-penetrating exfoliation, sebum regulation, gentle cellular renewal and post-blemish mark reduction.

SOM1X®, Probiotics, Ceramides — Signature Serum

Barrier strengthening and microbiome rebalancing to create the skin environment that prevents recurrence.

Stabilised Vitamin C, Spirulina, Ectoin — Vitamin C Daily Defence SPF30

Broad-spectrum SPF30 plus antioxidant and blue light defence — essential as UV worsens post-blemish marks.

SOM1X®, Encapsulated Retinol (7% equivalent) — Night Recovery Cream

How long should I follow this routine before expecting significant improvement?

Most users notice active blemishes starting to clear within 1–2 weeks. 93% of independent trial participants reported reduced blemishes and oiliness within 4 weeks. Post-blemish marks continue to fade at 6–8 weeks of consistent daily use. The key to this routine is consistency — stopping when skin looks clear is the most common mistake. Continue the routine daily to maintain results and prevent recurrence.

What is the protocol for using all 5 steps correctly?

Morning: cleanse → Anti-Blemish Concentrate (to affected areas) → Signature Serum (full face) → Vitamin C Daily Defence SPF30. Evening: cleanse → Anti-Blemish Concentrate (to affected areas) → Night Recovery Cream. Do not skip SPF in the morning — UV exposure worsens post-blemish pigmentation marks.

Why is the Night Recovery Cream included — doesn't retinol cause breakouts?

The Encapsulated Retinol in the Night Recovery Cream uses controlled-release micro-encapsulation and is balanced with SOM1X® barrier support — significantly reducing the likelihood of irritation or purging. In trials, 97% of participants reported deeply hydrated, soft and smooth skin on waking. Retinol also accelerates cell turnover, which helps clear post-blemish marks faster.

Can I use this routine if I have both blemishes and post-blemish marks?

Yes — the routine addresses both. The Anti-Blemish Concentrate targets active blemishes; the Night Recovery Cream's Encapsulated Retinol and the Vitamin C SPF's antioxidant defence work together to fade post-blemish marks. Consistent daily use of all 5 steps delivers the fastest and most complete results.

Is this suitable for teenage skin?

Yes. The formula is suitable for all ages with blemish-prone skin. The Bakuchiol (retinol alternative) and prebiotic actives are specifically chosen to be effective without the irritation that teen skin is particularly susceptible to.
