High-Performance Sebum Control for Oily & Acne-Prone Skin

Take control of persistent breakouts and midday shine with our Purifying Face Wash. Intentionally formulated as a non-comedogenic solution for congested complexions, this deep-action cleanser removes environmental pollutants and excess lipids without disrupting the skin’s natural pH balance. By uniting the antibacterial power of Neem with the botanical BHA (Salicylic Acid) found in Wild Mint, it actively de-clogs pores to leave skin matte, clear, and refined.

  • The Clinical & Holistic Benefits

  • Targeted Breakout Defense: Antibacterial Neem and Tea Tree target acne-causing bacteria at the source to reduce active spots and prevent future flare-ups.
  • BHA Pore Refinement: Natural Salicylic Acid (Beta Hydroxy Acid) penetrates deep into the follicle to dissolve keratin plugs and minimize visible pore size.
  • Instant Sebum Regulation: A potent blend of Witch Hazel and Quassia acts as a natural astringent to mattify the T-zone and regulate daily oil production.
  • Anti-Inflammatory Refresh: Invigorating Spearmint and Eucalyptus provide a cooling sensation that calms redness and refreshes post-breakout skin.


How to use

Your Daily Purifying Ritual
For maximum sebum control and clarity, use twice daily:

Apply: Massage a small amount onto a wet face and neck, concentrating on the forehead, nose, and chin (the T-zone).

Activate: Let the natural BHA and Tea Tree sit on the skin for 30 seconds to fully penetrate the pores.

Rinse: Use cool water to help constrict the pores and enhance the refreshing, mattifying effect.

Seal: Follow with our Purifying Facial Toner and Mattifying Day Cream to lock in the antibacterial benefits.

    FAQs

    Is this face wash effective for hormonal acne and breakouts?

    Yes. Our Purifying Face Wash is specifically formulated to target the root causes of congestion. By harnessing the natural antibacterial power of Neem and Tea Tree, it helps neutralise spot-causing bacteria and soothe the inflammation associated with hormonal flare-ups, leading to a clearer, more balanced complexion.

    Will it help to reduce the appearance of large, visible pores?

    Absolutely. Large pores are often caused by trapped sebum stretching the pore wall. This formula contains Witch Hazel and Wild Mint, which act as natural astringents. These botanicals effectively clear out deep-seated debris and "tighten" the skin’s texture, leaving your face looking refined and matte

    Is this face wash non-comedogenic and oil-free?

    Yes. Our Purifying Face Wash is specifically formulated to be non-comedogenic (it will not clog pores). It utilizes lightweight botanical extracts and pure vegetable glycerin rather than heavy occlusive oils, making it safe for those prone to blackheads and cystic acne.

    How does it help with hormonal acne and blemishes?

    By combining antibacterial Neem with botanical Salicylic Acid, this formula addresses the two main triggers of hormonal breakouts: bacteria and trapped oil. It helps clear current spots while the cooling mint extracts soothe the inflammation that accompanies flare-ups.
