Acne Clarifying Facial

Earned Points: 10

Best For: Oily, active acne-prone, or inflammatory skin states struggling with frequent breakouts, deep-seated congestion, and post-acne scarring or redness.

What It Is & What to Expect: A targeted, therapeutic treatment specifically designed to break the acne cycle, calm active inflammation, and clarify the complexion. Utilizing Dermalogica’s clinical breakout-clearing formulations—enriched with salicylic acid, niacinamide, tea tree, and calming botanicals—this service targets the root causes of breakouts: excess sebum, dead skin buildup, and acne-causing bacteria.

Your service includes:

-Purifying Anti-Bacterial Double Cleanse: Penetrates deep into follicles to dissolve excess oil and clear out surface impurities without stripping essential moisture.
-Salicylic & Enzymatic Pore Exfoliation: A gentle yet effective chemical exfoliation that dissolves the intracellular glue trapping dead skin and oil inside the pores.
-Targeted Extraction Prep & Clearing: Softens trapped sebum to allow for safe, thorough extraction of active blackheads and whiteheads while minimizing skin trauma.
-Calming Anti-Inflammatory Masque: A specialized clay or cooling gel masque designed to draw out impurities, soothe redness, and cool inflamed, angry breakouts.
-High-Frequency Bacterial Therapy: A mild high-frequency current applied directly over treatment areas to sterilize active bacteria below the skin surface, speed up healing, and prevent future breakouts.
-Oil-Balancing & Hydrating Finish: Finished with lightweight, oil-free hydration, soothing barrier repair serums, and non-comedogenic SPF to protect healing skin.

Why You’ll Love It & How It Differs: While the Deep Cleansing Facial is ideal for routine pore clearing and non-inflammatory blackhead maintenance, the Acne/Clarifying Facial is specifically formulated to treat active, inflammatory breakouts and sensitive, acne-prone conditions. This service shifts the focus toward reducing redness, calming irritation, and sterilizing deep.
