Formulating Clarifying Skincare for Acne-prone Skin

Clarifying skincare is helpful for acne-prone skin as it deeply cleanses the skin, removing any dead skin cell build-up, excess sebum and other impurities, thus reducing both the appearance of acne and the likelihood of acne occurring.

In this class you’ll learn about how acne is formed, acne management and treatment, the role of cosmetics in acne management, useful ingredients for acne-prone skin and suitable skincare products.

You will receive three formulations from our lab, ready for you to make at home.

• Calming Spot Treatment – to help reduce inflammation and the appearance of spots/acne, by including clarifying ingredients as well as containing chlorophyll liquid to create a light green-colored emulsion that minimizes redness.

• Clarifying Charcoal Cleanser – this gentle surfactant-based cleansing gel cleanses the skin of excess sebum, dirt and oil, which can contribute to the development of acne. It contains antioxidants, humectants, gentle exfoliants, and antimicrobial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredients.
• Clarifying Green Clay Face Mask – this thick, creamy emulsion contains green clay as a physical exfoliator and for its oil-absorption qualities, three humectants for hydration, emollients, and antimicrobial, antiseptic and anti-inflammatory ingredients.

With each formulation we share the product development questions, formula, instructions and product specifications. Follow our formulations and then create your own!

This class includes a beautiful textbook to download and a demonstration video showing our cosmetic scientist making the Calming Spot Treatment, which you can follow along with step by step.
