Pores & Blackheads Regimen
The Pores & Blackheads Regimen dissolves blackheads from the inside and makes large pores look smaller, for cleaner, smoother skin.
Our 3 + 1 system works on the pore itself. The booster, BHA Exfoliator, contains salicylic acid, which dissolves sebum and dead skin cells inside the pore. In studies, 2% salicylic acid gave fewer blackheads than placebo over 12 weeks. In a test, the agarikon mushroom in Niacinamide Serum made pores 18.3% less visible in 15 minutes, against 7.8% on placebo. Balancing Complex Moisturiser keeps sebum down, so the pores do not fill up again as quickly.
Use the cleanser, serum and moisturiser morning and evening, and BHA Exfoliator a few evenings a week. Wear SPF 30 or higher during the day. Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to sun, and without sunscreen the work on pigmentation is undone. If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, ask your doctor or midwife before starting the routine.
Bought as a regimen, the four cost 25% less than separately.
Benefits
Fewer blackheads than placebo over 12 weeks (BHA Exfoliator, salicylic acid)*
18.3% less visible pores in 15 minutes (Niacinamide Serum, agarikon)*
14.8% smoother skin in four weeks (Niacinamide Serum, niacinamide)*
Reduces the sebum that fills the pores (Balancing Complex Moisturiser, REGU®-SEB)
Calms redness and reduces age spots (Balancing Complex Moisturiser, oat and sugar beet betaine)
Cleanses without stripping (Glycerin Hydra Cleanser, 50% glycerin)
*The study figures come from studies and a test of the active ingredients, and the products contain them at the same dose or higher.
MORNING
Glycerin Hydra Cleanser, then Niacinamide Serum, then Balancing Complex Moisturiser. Finish with sunscreen.
EVENING
The same three. On the evenings you use the booster, it goes after the cleanser and before the serum.
BOOSTER
BHA Exfoliator, one to three evenings a week. Saturate a cotton pad and sweep over clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse.
Do not squeeze in between. Congestion clears faster when it is left alone.
How the studies were done:
Salicylic acid 2%: studies over 12 weeks, number of blackheads compared with placebo
Pore Reductyl NT 3%: 15 people, visibility of pores measured by image analysis 15 minutes after the first application, against placebo
Niacinamide 3.5%: four weeks, skin smoothness measured against placebo
Results vary from person to person.
The actives that do the work in each step.
Glycerin 50%. In the cleanser. At this concentration it is the base of the gel rather than an additive, which is why cleansing and hydrating happen in the same step.
Niacinamide 5%. In the serum. Helps settle the oil production that fills the pores, while agarikon mushroom extract refines their look.
REGU®-SEB Complex. In the moisturiser. Saw palmetto, sesame and argan work on the sebum directly.
Salicylic Acid 2%. In the booster. Oil-soluble, so it travels into the pore and dissolves the blockage rather than working on top of it.

Materials and recycling
Packaging is the part of the product you throw away. That is why we spend time on it.
The tube itself on Niacinamide Serum is made with 63% post-consumer recycled plastic: plastic that has already been used and collected, rather than newly made. The cap, and the rest of our bottles and tubes, are still virgin plastic, and that is the part we are working on.
Not everything is plastic. Some products come in glass, others in aluminium. The aluminium in the Niacinamide Hand Balm tube is 95% recycled. Both can be melted down and used again many times over.
Our outer cartons are paper.
How to sort it
Plastic bottles, tubes, pumps and caps: plastic. They do not need to be clean.
Glass bottles: glass.
Aluminium tubes: metal.
The carton: paper.
We are not there yet, and we are working on bringing more of our packaging along.

Pores & Blackheads Regimen
The numbered icons on the packaging show the order. The booster carries a + rather than a number, because it does not always come last. Exfoliating boosters go in after cleansing, so they can prepare the surface. Other boosters go in after the serum. Each regimen tells you which.
MORNING
Glycerin Hydra Cleanser, then Niacinamide Serum, then Balancing Complex Moisturiser. Finish with sunscreen.
EVENING
The same three. On the evenings you use the booster, it goes after the cleanser and before the serum.
BOOSTER
BHA Exfoliator, one to three evenings a week. Saturate a cotton pad and sweep over clean, dry skin, avoiding the eye area. Do not rinse.
Do not squeeze in between. Congestion clears faster when it is left alone.
Why it works
Blackheads sit inside the pore, which is why products that only work on the surface do not reach them.
Ordinary cleansers and acids that dissolve in water work on the top layer. Salicylic acid dissolves in oil, and so in sebum, which lets it travel down to where the blockage actually is. That is the difference between clearing a pore and polishing the skin around it.
Clearing the pores is only half of it. Niacinamide and the REGU®-SEB complex work on the sebum that fills them again.

This routine has completely transformed my skin! I’ve tried countless acne treatments, including Exuviance twice, but nothing worked this fast. Even my old scars are fading. It’s pricey, but totally worth it. I’ll definitely be sticking with this
