acne prone skin bundle

What makes the product special

Do you suffer from acne, inflammation, blemishes and spots? And you’re not a teenager anymore? We know why – and we have a solution for you.

Acne and blemished skin in adulthood can be caused by a hormonal imbalance. Stress in particular, and excess testosterone for example after stopping hormonal contraceptives, influence the development of acne. Since acne always involves a disrupted skin barrier, tailored skincare is important.

The acne prone skin bundle addresses the specific needs of acne-prone skin and supports you internally in balancing your hormone system.

beauty targets your testosterone balance directly with vitamin B6*, pantothenic acid* and zinc*. The included vitamins, minerals and plant extracts from saw palmetto, nettle and rosemary support healthy skin (zinc)* and hair (selenium)* and can therefore help reduce the effects of excess testosterone.

The hypoallergenic and innovative clear skin skincare products support the rebuilding of the natural skin barrier and are optimally suited to irritated and blemish-prone skin.

The acne prone skin bundle supports you daily and effectively on your path to radiant, healthy skin.

Ingredients:

Saw palmetto fruit extract (5% phytosterols) 31%, nettle root powder 24%, rosemary leaf extract 23%, glazing agent: hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (plant-based capsule shell), zinc citrate, calcium D-pantothenate, pyridoxal-5'-phosphate, black pepper fruit extract (95% piperine) 0.2%

  • The fruits of the saw palmetto (Serenoa repens) have been shown in studies to stimulate hair growth in androgen-related hair loss. An effect on oestrogen receptors has been observed. Saw palmetto fruit extract is rich in phytosterols and is used off-label in women.

  • Nettle root is traditionally used in gynaecology. Studies have shown that it may help with acne and oily skin, can normalise the menstrual cycle, and has effects on testosterone levels.

  • Rosemary leaf extract is made from the leaves of rosemary (Salvia rosmarinus). Both in animal studies and clinical studies, the liver-supporting, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of rosemary extract have been demonstrated. It supports normal steroid hormone metabolism by stimulating bile production. Rosemary extract may regulate oestradiol metabolism.

  • The fruit of black pepper (Piper nigrum) is believed to improve the bioavailability and absorption rate of various pharmacologically active substances and is therefore often used as a complementary ingredient, for example in Ayurveda.

  • Zinc plays an important role throughout metabolism. Its function as a cofactor in countless metabolic pathways is especially important, as well as its role in the immune system, in the formation of sex hormones and in the healthy development of skin, hair, nails and mucous membranes. Zinc intake is generally considered critical, and requirements are further increased by taking the contraceptive pill. Good plant-based sources of zinc include legumes, whole grains, corn, oats, nuts and dark green leafy vegetables.

  • Pantothenic acid is involved in the formation of sex hormones and steroid hormones such as cortisol. It therefore plays a role in hormonal balance and the body’s stress response. A deficiency can manifest as fatigue and poor wound healing, among other symptoms. Pantothenic acid is found in many foods, such as legumes, whole grains, dark green leafy vegetables and nuts.

  • Vitamin B6 has a strong influence on serotonin metabolism and therefore on the risk of depression. It enables the conversion of tryptophan into niacin, is essential for healthy nerve cells, proper glucose metabolism and a healthy vascular system. Requirements are increased by taking the pill and are associated with a higher risk of thrombosis. A high intake of animal, protein-rich foods further increases the requirement for vitamin B6. Good plant-based sources include potatoes, bananas, legumes, nutritional yeast flakes, dark green leafy vegetables and nuts. Make sure to include raw foods in your diet, as vitamin B6 is very sensitive to heat.

Creme:
AQUA, OLUS OIL, GLYCERIN, NIACINAMIDE, ISOSTEARYL ISOSTEARATE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, HYDROGENATED PHOSPHATIDYLCHOLINE, BEHENYL ALCOHOL, LIMNANTHES ALBA SEED OIL, MORINGA OLEIFERA SEED OIL, ISOPENTYLDIOL, 1,2-HEXANEDIOL, CAPRYLOYL SALICYLIC ACID, COPERNICIA CERIFERA CERA, STEARYL GLYCYRRHETINATE, CAESALPINIA SPINOSA GUM, SODIUM ANISATE, TROXERUTIN, CELLULOSE GUM, CHONDRUS CRISPUS POWDER (CARRAGEENAN), SODIUM HYDROXIDE, CERATONIA SILIQUA GUM, TETRAHYDRODIFERULOYLMETHANE, TRIFOLIUM PRATENSE FLOWER EXTRACT, XANTHAN GUM, GLUCOSE, TOCOPHEROL

  • Olus oil is a plant-based oil used in cosmetics to help prevent moisture loss in the skin. It forms a film on the skin and makes it smooth and soft.

  • The Glycerin in our formula improves moisture retention in the skin. It has a keratolytic effect, meaning it dissolves excess skin cells, supports the skin barrier, stabilises skin collagen and therefore skin elasticity, and accelerates healing processes.

  • Niacinamide is a valuable ingredient in cosmetics. It has a calming, rebalancing and anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. Niacinamide can reduce skin hyperpigmentation and regulates sebum production. It supports skin regeneration and collagen synthesis, helping to smooth fine lines.

  • Phosphatidylcholine can be used to treat acne vulgaris grades 1 and 2. Clinical studies show a reduction in blackheads by over 60% after 28 days and a reduction in skin disease signs by over 70%. The linoleic acid content in the skin (which inhibits 5-alpha-reductase) increases significantly.

    In hydrogenated phosphatidylcholine used as a cream base, long-chain skin lipids are attached under pressure. This gives it a structure similar to that of healthy skin and can support the rebuilding of the skin barrier in damaged skin. The process is called ortholamellar technology (OLT). Manufacturer studies have shown that OLT can help restructure the lipid barrier of very dry skin to resemble that of healthy skin within 14 days.

  • Carnauba wax (Copernicia cerifera cera) is part of ortholamellar technology. The long-chain lipids of carnauba wax are attached to phosphatidylcholine. This gives the lipid layers additional stability and thereby precisely imitates the stability of the skin’s own lipid layers.

  • The oil of meadowfoam (Limnanthes alba) is very similar in composition to the skin’s own lipid fatty acids. It provides moisture and leaves the skin feeling smooth without being occlusive.

  • The oil of Moringa oleifera is very similar in composition to the skin’s own lipid fatty acids and has a positive effect on skin healing. It provides moisture and leaves the skin smooth without being occlusive.

  • Salicylic acid has a keratolytic effect and very gently removes excess skin flakes without causing irritation. It has antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies have shown that salicylic acid can reduce fine line formation and skin hyperpigmentation.

  • Stearyl glycyrrhetinate (an ester of glycyrrhizic acid) is a highly effective, skin-soothing active substance derived from licorice root. Glycyrrhizic acid has anti-inflammatory effects.

  • Troxerutin is a natural, water-soluble flavonoid derived from the Japanese pagoda tree. It has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties, and can protect cells from UV-B damage. When combined with fat-soluble, antioxidant tocopherol (vitamin E), it provides optimal protection against environmental free radicals.

  • Tetrahydrodiferuloylmethane is a curcumin derivative. Curcumin is a component of turmeric, known for its antioxidant potential. It counteracts environmental free radicals and the resulting skin sensitivities.

  • Extract of red clover (Trifolium pratense) can inhibit 5-alpha-reductase activity in the skin and thereby reduce sebum production, one of the main triggers of blemished skin. Red clover has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, protects against UV damage and, through its regulatory action on oestrogen receptors in the skin, also has anti-ageing benefits.

  • Tocopherol (vitamin E) has antioxidant effects, protects healthy cells from free radicals and supports the structure of cell membranes.

  • The powder from Chondrus crispus (Irish moss) is used in the formula as a thickening agent. In addition, it has a mild abrasive effect and can help remove dead skin particles, while also providing moisturising and anti-inflammatory benefits.

AQUA, SODIUM COCOAMPHOACETATE, DISODIUM LAURYL SULFOSUCCINATE, DECYL GLUCOSIDE, PENTYLENE GLYCOL, GLYCERIN, ASPARTIC ACID, ALOE BARBADENSIS LEAF JUICE, SODIUM ANISATE, SODIUM HYALURONATE, PHENETHYL ALCOHOL, ZINC PCA

  • The Glycerin in our formula improves moisture retention in the skin. It has a keratolytic effect, meaning it dissolves excess skin cells, supports the skin barrier, stabilises skin collagen and therefore skin elasticity, and accelerates healing processes.

  • Aloe vera is a succulent plant that grows in dry environments. The gel it stores in its leaves for water retention is used in pharmacology and cosmetics due to its active components. Aloe has anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and antimicrobial effects and supports wound healing. It has skin-conditioning and skin-soothing properties and prevents the skin from drying out during cleansing.

  • We use a medium-chain hyaluronic acid to counteract skin dehydration caused by cleansing. Hyaluronic acid has moisturising, soothing and conditioning effects.

  • Phenethyl alcohol is a gentle preservative substance with antimicrobial properties. It helps stabilise the formula and protect the product from microbial contamination

  • Zinc has sebum-regulating and soothing effects on the skin. It stabilises the skin microbiome, improves moisture regulation and reduces sebum production by inhibiting 5-alpha-reductase in skin cells.

  • The salt of anisic acid is used to preserve the foamer. In addition, sodium anisate has antibacterial and pH-regulating effects.

What is adult acne?

Adult acne occurs in adults from around the age of 20 and is independent of acne that appears during puberty. Adult acne is caused by various factors such as hormonal fluctuations, genetics, environmental influences, stress or an unfavourable diet. These factors can influence one another and worsen acne.

Why should I treat hormonal acne from within?

Hormonal acne is caused largely by an excess of androgens, alongside other hormone-influencing factors such as stress, inflammation or an unfavourable diet. This hormonal imbalance must be addressed in order to ease acne. The targeted intake of optimally coordinated nutrients and plant-based active substances can support a balanced hormone system.

Why should I not go without clear skin cream if my skin is prone to acne?

  • Immediate and long-lasting relief from irritation thanks to glycyrrhetinic acid and niacinamide.

  • Gentle but effective exfoliation without irritation and removal of excess skin cells through capryloyl salicylic acid and glycerin.

  • Powerful antioxidant protection against environmental radicals through a combination of troxerutin, tocopherol and a curcumin derivative.

  • Strengthening of the natural skin barrier and support of the skin’s own ceramide synthesis and free fatty acids through the unique combination of OLT®, niacinamide and natural oils such as Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil and Limnanthes Alba Seed Oil.

Why should I use the clear skin cleansing foam if my skin is prone to acne?

  • Very mild cleansing thanks to a surfactant blend originally developed for intimate care. The deliberately low surfactant concentration ensures a gentle cleansing experience.

  • Skin-soothing ingredients such as aloe vera and medium-chain hyaluronic acid provide moisture, soften the cleansing effect and prevent dryness. Zinc PCA helps stabilise the skin microbiome and has a calming effect.

  • The balanced formulation with a pH value between 5.0 and 5.5 is ideal for maintaining the skin’s natural acid mantle.

  • With a maximally clean formula, our cleansing foam contains no preservatives (according to cosmetic regulations), no SDS, no perfume, no silicones and no colourants.
