Acne is a skin condition that typically causes whiteheads, blackheads, greasy skin, red and yellow spots and scars. Acne affects large numbers of people, and virtually all adolescents. Whether you have one spot or dozens of spots, treating and managing acne is extremely challenging both physically and emotionally.

Acne is caused by an inflammation of the sebaceous glands that surrounds the fine hairs on the face, neck, upper back and upper chest.  Acne tends to worsen and reaches a peak between the ages of about 17-19. For many people acne tends to disappear by the time they reach their mid-20’s, but for some acne can continue into their 40’s. Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menstrual periods can also cause acne or make it worse.

At Pure and Gentle SkinCare, we’ve brought together a carefully chosen range of skin care products that are as free from as many of the known skin irritants as possible. And, to help you choose the right product for you and your acne, we have listed every ingredient for every product we stock so you know what you are buying.

Our products are designed to be used either along side your current treatments, or during periods of time when your acne is under control and you are looking for a more natural solution.
