Treating the 6 Most Common Skin Problems

Having goals is essential, even for skincare. Setting a beauty goal helps focus your efforts, avoid overbuying, and truly track your progress. It also helps prevent you from feeling overwhelmed by the amount of information available online.

So let's break down some common goals in a simple and understandable way. Find your goal and discover which treatments and ingredients can help you achieve it. Treatments mainly include serums and ampoules, used after toner and before moisturizer, but not only! Let's get started!

Fade acne scars

Managing breakouts is difficult enough, but acne scars can be daunting to fade. Significant inflammation increases the risk of scarring. These scars can be raised or indented because they are deeply embedded in the skin's layers.

Treatment Retinoids are effective in treating acne scars by increasing collagen production and improving skin texture. Acid exfoliants like glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acid smooth the skin and promote cell renewal.

Pro Tip: Use spot patches to reduce the damage caused by blemishes. They create a clean, healing environment that reduces inflammation and prevents bacteria from entering.

Reduce hyperpigmentation

Dark spots, often called "age spots" or "sun spots," are caused by excess melanin. Common causes include hormonal changes, injury, and sun damage.

Treatment: Prevention is the best approach, along with daily sunscreen. For existing spots, vitamin C and retinol reduce melanin production. AHAs, such as lactic and citric acids, remove the discolored top layers of skin. Other lightening ingredients include niacinamide, kojic acid, ferulic acid, licorice, and arbutin.

Pro tip: Use vitamin C in the morning to protect your skin from external damage, and retinol in the evening to prevent photosensitivity.

Treat pores and blackheads

Pores are essential for maintaining skin health, but enlarged pores and blackheads can be bothersome. Blackheads form when sebum and dead skin cells clog pores, oxidizing in the open air.

Treatment Double cleansing, with an oil-based cleanser followed by a water-based cleanser, is effective. Salicylic acid penetrates pores, dissolves blockages, and regulates sebum production. Clay masks absorb excess oil and purify pores.

Pro Tip: Avoid squeezing or extracting blackheads yourself, as this can make things worse by pushing bacteria deeper.

Replenish dehydrated skin

Dehydrated skin lacks water, which can be caused by over-exfoliation or harsh products. This makes the skin look wrinkled and less plump.

Treatment: Make sure you're drinking enough water. Use hydrating products like toners and essences, and try the 7 Skin method. Hyaluronic acid is excellent for retaining water, and probiotics like kombucha help maintain a healthy skin microbiome.

Pro tip : After showering, leave your skin slightly damp before applying your skincare to help your products retain moisture better.

Smooth fine lines and wrinkles

Fine lines and wrinkles appear naturally with age, due to decreased collagen and elastin production, as well as loss of fat and moisture.

Treatment: Use sunscreen daily to protect collagen. Antioxidants like vitamin C neutralize free radicals and promote collagen production. Retinol and bakuchiol are also effective. Peptides and EGF support skin structure. Finally, a powerful moisturizer makes skin plumper and reduces the appearance of wrinkles.

Pro Tip Choose a sunscreen with a PA rating to ensure adequate UVA protection.

Soothe sensitive skin

Sensitive skin reacts easily to allergies, stress, temperature fluctuations, and certain ingredients. It can also be sensitized by the use of harsh products.

Treatment: Avoid potential triggers. Use soothing ingredients like aloe vera, green tea, centella, and chamomile. Creams containing ceramides or allantoin form a protective barrier.

Pro Tip: Perform a patch test with any new product to ensure it doesn't cause a reaction. Apply a small amount to a specific area of ​​skin and wait 72 hours.

Consistency and patience are key to achieving good results. Use treatments regularly and give them time to work. To find the products that are right for you, browse our selection and use the filters to match them to your skincare goals.
