Control sebum production

Acne is commonly seen as:
- Oily, shiny skin
- Clogged pores
- Whiteheads & blackheads
- Red, inflamed breakouts
- Deep cysts or nodules
- Persistent post-acne marks or scars
These symptoms are signs your skin’s natural oil balance, barrier function, and inflammation response are under stress.
With a tailored skincare system rooted in herbal science and biotechnology, we target acne at its source—not just mask it on the surface. Your skin deserves gentle, effective, plant-based care that works with your biology, not against it. Our personalised Acne Treatment and skin care treatments ensure long-term results while supporting healthy, balanced skin.
Skin Symptoms
Identifying Acne Properly
Not all acne is the same—and understanding the differences is the first step to effective treatment. Acne can range from mild whiteheads to severe cystic nodules. Knowing your skin condition allows for the right approach through personalised Acne Treatment and skin care treatments, helping to address issues effectively while avoiding unnecessary damage.
Non-inflammatory Acne
Whiteheads
Closed comedones.
Visible as small, white, grain-like bumps under the skin (1–2mm in size). Caused by clogged pores filled with dead skin cells and oil, with no outlet for discharge. Touch feels slightly raised.
⚠️ Forcibly squeezing immature whiteheads may lead to bacterial infection and inflammation.
Blackheads
Open comedones.
Formed when clogged pores are exposed to air and oxidized, turning the contents dark.
Commonly found on the nose, chin, and forehead.
Inflammatory Acne
Papules
Early-stage inflamed acne.
Red, tender, pimple-like bumps (millet- to pea-sized) caused by rapid bacterial growth in clogged pores.
Painful to the touch and visibly raised.
Pustules
More advanced inflammatory acne.
Characterized by swollen, red pimples with visible white or yellow pus heads.
Feels firm and painful due to infection beneath the skin.
Nodular Acne
Also known as hard nodular acne.
Forms when large amounts of sebum and pus accumulate and rupture the follicle wall, causing red or brownish raised nodules. Painful to press.
⚠️ Caused by complete rupture of the sebaceous duct, spreading contents into surrounding tissue.
Cystic Acne
The most severe form of acne.
Develops when nodules fill with pus, sebum, keratin, and inflammatory material, rupturing the follicle structure.
Appears as large, soft, raised cysts (7–15mm or more).
💧 May exude cheese-like pus when ruptured.
Progression of Acne
Excess sebum production
Leads to enlarged pores
Clogged Pores
Causes closed comedones, whiteheads, and blackheads

Understand the Stages
Acne Severity Grading & Management
When your skin begins showing early signs of acne, it’s crucial to address it promptly. Many severe acne cases develop because mild breakouts were ignored, allowing inflammation to worsen over time—from mild to moderate, and eventually severe stages.
As acne progresses, the risk of long-term skin damage increases. Issues such as acne marks, deep scars, nodules, and permanent blemishes become harder and more time-consuming to treat. Treatment costs also rise, and in some cases, the damage may be irreversible.
Early action through personalised Acne Treatment and professional skin care treatments helps control breakouts, reduce inflammation, and prevent long-term consequences, protecting your skin’s health and appearance.
01. Mild
- Closed comedones (whiteheads
02. Moderate
- Papules
03. Moderate-Severe
- Pustules
04. Severe
- Nodular or Cystic Acne
Stop! Don’t Do This
Common Acne Treatment Mistakes
Mistake #1
Long-term Consumption of Chinese Herbal Medicine
[While it may seem gentle, long-term use can lead to dull, yellowish skin. Eventually, you’ll also need to focus on liver care.]
Mistake #2
Prolonged Use of Topical Steroid Creams
[You’re suppressing breakouts without solving the root issue. Once you stop using them, your skin may worsen dramatically — leading to steroid dependency and flare-ups even more severe than before.]
Mistake #3
Frequent Chemical Peels (Acid Treatments)
[While they might show short-term results, they often leave your skin sensitive and in need of long-term barrier repair.]
Mistake #4
Fractional Laser or CO₂ Laser Treatments
[These don’t address clogged pores — the root cause of acne. Post-treatment, you may suffer from sensitive skin, pigmentation, or even permanent scarring.]
Mistake #5
Facial Gua Sha (Scraping)
[This technique can worsen inflammation and doesn’t solve underlying pore congestion.]
Mistake #6
Popping Pimples with Your Hands
[Direct contact introduces more bacteria and worsens inflammation — often pushing the infection deeper.]
The Real Problem
The danger of acne isn’t just clogged pores—it’s how they are handled. Aggressive or improper care can worsen inflammation and cause irreversible damage to hair follicles. Structural changes may occur, and at best, repairs can restore only about 80% of the damage. Deformed or twisted pores may persist, making future treatments more challenging and less effective.
Instead of relying on short-term fixes, a long-term, science-backed approach is essential. Tailored Acne Treatment and professional skin care treatments target the root cause—clogged pores—while supporting skin recovery safely and effectively.
