Not all skin issues are created equal! Here’s how to differentiate and treat your biggest concerns: Clogged Pores 1️⃣ Blackheads: Salicylic Acid (BHA) dissolves oil and dead skin inside pores to clear and prevent blackheads. 2️⃣ Sebaceous Filaments: Sulfur absorbs excess oil and gently exfoliates to reduce the appearance of filaments. 3️⃣ Whiteheads: Adapalene, a gentle retinoid for acne-prone skin, accelerates skin cell turnover to unclog pores and prevent future breakouts. Pigmentation / Discoloration 1️⃣ Sun Spots: Vitamin C isn’t the only ingredient for sun spots, but it’s a powerful antioxidant that brightens dark spots and protects against UV damage. 2️⃣ Brown Marks: Treat stubborn pigmentation with powerhouse ingredients like Alpha Arbutin, Kojic Acid, and Licorice Root, which inhibit melanin production. 3️⃣ Melasma: Hydroquinone is the gold-standard prescription for melasma. It inhibits tyrosinase, the enzyme responsible for melanin production, to even out skin tone. Body Concerns 1️⃣ Buttne / Bacne: Hibiclens (Chlorhexidine Gluconate) is an antibacterial cleanser that helps clear body acne by reducing bacteria. 2️⃣ Eczema: Urea hydrates, exfoliates, and strengthens the skin barrier to relieve rough, dry skin. 3️⃣ Psoriasis: Coal Tar slows skin cell growth, reducing scaling and inflammation for smoother skin.
