Dry Skin + Acne Focus

Characteristics of dry skin include tight and brittle feeling skin, rough texture, having a dull appearance, and sometimes showing flakiness and redness. Fun, right! So why do we get dry skin? First of all, dry skin is a skin type, which means you’re born with it. Dry skin can be seen visibly by assessing pore size. All people with dry skin have very small, almost invisible pores. This is because smaller pores equal less oil production!  

Now, less oil production is great when it comes to fighting acne. It means that your skin probably doesn’t break out much. However, having less oil (or lipids) can cause issues for the skin barrier if the skin can’t retain moisture properly.  

You might also feel like your skin is a bit sensitive or cannot tolerate active ingredients as well as other people. Dry skin does tend to be more sensitive due to the fact that the skin barrier is often compromised from having less moisture and protection. The good news is that dry skin can often look healthy and feel much softer just by simply making some lifestyle and skincare adjustments!

For people with dry skin who want to focus on acne, we recommend our top-selling acne bundle. These products are designed to combat acne and those stubborn breakouts, keeping your complexion clear and smooth without drying out the skin. The focus of this bundle is to nourish the skin while reducing both congestion and inflammation. Because you have dry skin, we swapped the daily essential cleanser with the gentle foamy cleanser and added the intensive nourishing cream to this bundle.
