Acne is among the most frequent skin issues and is not exclusive to just teenage years. For
many, oily or congested skin means the vicious cycle of greasy-feeling skin, congested pores
and repeating breakouts. There are the daily triggers for breakouts, like weather, stress and
diet. It can feel like a never-ending cycle. The challenge can be finding the ideal skincare that
will tackle blemishes in the moment and also keep the skin calm and balanced in the long run.
The Urban Veda Purifying Range has been created to support oily, congested and
breakout-prone skin. Inspired by Ayurvedic approaches, it uses a range of naturally
clarifying and cooling botanicals to ease excess oil while also calming any irritation and
clearing impurities, without stripping the skin. Each product under the range offers varying
benefits to detoxify, soothe and rebalance. Over time, the skin feels fresher, clearer, and
more comfortable, with balance restored across different areas of the face.
“Maintaining the skin’s natural barrier while controlling oil levels can significantly reduce breakouts and irritation.”
– British Journal of Dermatology
The Ayurvedic Answer to Oily, Congested Skin
The Urban Veda Purifying Range addresses the daily difficulties associated with oily and
breakout-prone skin. Its natural activities are designed to fight and thoroughly cleanse
the bacteria and impurities that contribute to pore blockages, while reducing excess
shine without leaving the skin dry. Ingredients such as Neem work to detoxify the skin, and Tea Tree and Witch Hazel are conduits for clearer pores. Herbs such as Mint, Spearmint and Eucalyptus cool and balance the skin. The result is skin that feels cleaner, lighter, and more in control, with fewer breakouts and less congestion over time.
Purifying Facial Wash for a Gentle Cleanse
It often happens that when you wake up your skin might already feel oily or congested, and then by the time you hit the pillow, the heat and daily grime have only added to that
discomfort. Purifying Facial Wash helps with exactly that. Use it in the morning to sweep
away overnight oil build-up, and at night to wash off the day’s dirt and grime. It removes
impurities and excess oil from your skin without sacrificing hydration.
Key Ingredient:
Formulated with Glycerin to hydrate and support the skin’s natural barrier even while
cleansing, this facial wash also benefits from Wild Mint, naturally rich in salicylic acid to
deeply cleanse pores and relieve congestion. Orange essence delivers vitamins A, B and C to brighten and restore radiance, while Quassia works to reduce excess oil and minimise the look of pores, keeping the skin feeling fresh and balanced after every wash.

Purifying Hydrating Toner for Pore-Perfect Skin
Some days, even after cleansing, your skin can still feel weighed down, your pores look more noticeable, oil creeps back too soon, or there’s that uneven, tired look you just can’t shake. The Purifying Hydrating Toner was created as that refreshing in-between step: it sweeps away what your cleanser may have missed, helps balance pH, and preps your skin so everything else in your routine works better.
Key Ingredient:
This hydrating toner pairs the purifying powers of Neem and Witch Hazel with calming and
hydrating actives to rebalance skin after cleansing. Pro-Vitamin B5 restores and protects

Purifying Night Cream for Overnight Care
Your skin is at work, even while you sleep. At night your skin repairs, rejuvenates, and
restores itself from all of the stress and buildup of the day. But if your skin is oily or
blemish-prone it can certainly disrupt that repair process. Purifying Night Cream supports
your skin's nightly renewal cycle while delivering hydration, balance and protection without the weight.
Key Ingredient:
Formulated with Sweet Almond Oil for lightweight yet nourishing hydration, this night
cream also harnesses Bearberry to naturally brighten and even out skin tone. Arjuna works
overnight to strengthen the skin barrier and reduce signs of stress, while Mediterranean
Cypress supports circulation and provides a calming, astringent boost for congested skin.
Enhanced with Vitamin C to promote collagen and protect against free radical damage, this blend ensures skin wakes up restored, resilient, and radiant.

Purifying Facial Oil for restoring comfort
When you have breakout-prone skin, it’s normal that your first instinct is to use strong
cleansers to scrub all the oil from your skin. While the oiliness on the surface may be
uncomfortable, harsh cleansing only weakens the skin’s barrier and your skin still continues
to produce excess oil underneath. The Purifying Facial Oil goes to work for you, not against
you—restoring lipids, calming irritation, and rebuilding the skin's barrier.
Key Ingredient:
This lightweight oil blends brightening Bearberry with antioxidant-rich Rosemary, which
helps reduce puffiness and revive tired skin while uplifting the senses. Together, they work
alongside nourishing botanicals to restore comfort, leaving skin calm, clarified, and naturally radiant without heaviness.
