If you've struggled with acne, blemishes, or pimples, you've likely traversed a labyrinth of treatments, from dermatologist prescriptions to DIY remedies found online. But it's crucial to take a step back and understand the root causes of these skin woes before diving into treatment. We'll uncover the truth about acne, blemishes, and pimples and unveil a holistic approach to banishing them for good.
What causes Acne, Blemishes and Pimples?
Many people wrongly assume that acne, blemishes, and pimples are caused by skin being dirty. They then over cleanse and over exfoliate, damaging the skin further and making the problem worse.
Acne starts when the pores in your skin get clogged with oil and dead skin cells. Each pore is connected to a sebaceous gland, producing an oily sebum. Extra sebum can plug pores, causing increased growth of bacteria known as Propionibacterium acnes, or P. acnes.
Your white blood cells attack P. acnes, leading to skin inflammation and acne. Some cases of acne are more severe than others, but common symptoms include whiteheads, blackheads, and pimples.
There are many different factors that contribute to the severity of acne: genetics, hormones, lifestyle factors, stress, diet, and infections.
The Skin Barrier: The Answer to Tackling Acne for Good.
The skin barrier plays a pivotal role in maintaining healthy, radiant skin. It acts as a protective shield, keeping harmful pollutants out while locking in moisture and essential nutrients. When the skin barrier is compromised, inflammation, sensitivity, and acne can ensue. Thus, strengthening the skin barrier is paramount in the battle against acne and blemishes.

Red Algae is your secret weapon against acne and blemishes.
If you’re looking for a product that targets acne, blemishes and pimples, you need something that will help reduce the blemishes in question while future-proofing your skin against further potential blemishes.
And just because you need to target blemishes, you don’t want to miss out on nourishing your skin, providing an anti-ageing remedy or refining overall skin texture.
Red Algae can help target a myriad of skin conditions in one natural solution…
- Red Algae is a natural alternative to retinol and is more potent than Vitamins C, D, and E.
- Red Algae is a super-hydrator, which means it's even more hydrating than hyaluronic acid.
- Better anti-inflammatory activity compared to most common anti-inflammatory drugs.
- One of the leading ‘powers’ of red algae is the fact that it’s a super antioxidant.
- Red algae contain polysaccharides and bioactive compounds that have been shown to inhibit bacterial growth and treat skin inflammatory conditions by inhibiting the effect of pro-inflammatory genes.
- Red Algae contains bioactive compounds that can inhibit the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and reduce the expression of inflammatory genes.

Your skin will retain moisture & increase hydration by an average of 17% - resulting in a shinier, smoother and even skin tone. Redness and inflammation will have decreased by an average of 20%. Bumps, blemishes, and acne will have diminished in size. Astaxanthin, the bioactive compound in red algae, is a strong antioxidant. In combination with your SPF, it will protect your skin from premature ageing and the onset of fine lines and wrinkles.

Your skin will be less prone to breakouts because of the powerful Astaxanthin, the bioactive compound in red algae. Astaxanthin can limit external stressors such as reactive oxidative species and the skin’s reaction to temperature, pollution, and humidity. By now, you will see a significant reduction in redness & inflammation. Previous bumps, blemishes and acne will be less visible, you will have fewer new breakouts, and previous scarring will become less visible. The skin will regain its healthy colour and feel soft, supple, and smooth.

Acne, blemishes & bumps will disappear. The skin is plump, glowing & smooth. The skin is clear and congestion-free. The skin's barrier is strong and resilient. Dark spots & hyperpigmentation will begin to fade. Wrinkles and fine lines will be reduced.
