Blemished Skin

Gentle care with clarifying plant ingredients, without alcohol, fragrances or drying surfactants.

Blemished skin is often caused by an imbalance: increased sebum production, pores clog more easily, and blackheads, pimples, or inflammatory skin changes develop. Our selection of nature-based facial care products was developed specifically for the needs of blemished, inflammation-prone skin: Instead of drying out the skin, they rely on balancing plant extracts and skin-soothing active ingredients that gently restore balance.
The goal: to restore balance to blemished skin – through gentle care that clarifies, soothes, and strengthens. The goal is not "perfect" skin, but rather a visible improvement in the complexion, reduced inflammation, and a healthy, balanced complexion.

Why impure skin needs special care

Acne-prone skin is often not only oily but also sensitive – it reacts quickly to skincare mistakes, irritating ingredients, or over-conditioning. Many conventional products for blemishes rely on drying alcohols or aggressive surfactants, which improve the skin's appearance in the short term but can stimulate sebum production and worsen inflammation in the long term. Therefore, blemished skin needs care that simultaneously clarifies, soothes, and strengthens without disrupting the skin barrier. Only then can it regain balance – and look visibly healthier.

Typical characteristics of impure skin

Acne-prone skin can occur during both puberty and adulthood. It's often not only oily but also sensitive—it therefore requires clarifying yet gentle care that respects the skin microbiome and regulates sebum production without disrupting the skin barrier.

• Tendency to blackheads, underlayers or inflammatory pimples
• Excessive sebum production, especially in the T-zone
• Enlarged pores, often with oily or shiny skin
• Frequent feeling of tension after cleansing
• Sensitive to drying or over-conditioning cosmetics

Typical causes of impure skin 

• Hormonal changes (puberty, cycle, pregnancy, menopause)
• Over-conditioning or aggressive cleaning products - e.g. harsh surfactants or alcohol
• Stress and lack of sleep – promote inflammation and sebum production
• Unhealthy diet - high in sugar or milk
• Clogging ingredients in make-up or care products (“comedogenic”)
• Environmental influences: UV radiation, fine dust, blue light or air pollution

Important tips for the care of impure skin

• Do not over-care: too many products or active ingredients can be counterproductive
• Avoid scrubs with coarse grains – better: mild enzymes or BHA (salicylic acid)
• Pay attention to non-comedogenic products – including sunscreen and make-up
• Regularly change towels, pillowcases and mobile phone cases
• Keep your hands away from your face as much as possible – mechanical irritation can promote inflammation

Frequently Asked Questions

What is impure skin?
Acne-prone skin manifests itself as blackheads, pimples, or inflamed areas—usually caused by excessive sebum production and clogged pores. It can appear oily, but can also be sensitive and dry at the same time.

What really helps against impurities?
Gentle, non-irritating care with regulating active ingredients such as niacinamide, zinc, or green tea. Regular, mild cleansing and care without alcohol, harsh surfactants, or comedogenic ingredients is essential.

Why is drying care problematic?
Products containing alcohol or highly degreasing surfactants dehydrate the skin and disrupt the skin's barrier. The skin reacts by producing even more sebum, which can worsen blemishes.

What is the best way to change my skincare routine for impure skin?
Start with a gentle cleanser and a light, clarifying moisturizer. Add new products gradually (every 4–7 days) to monitor your tolerance. Avoid harsh exfoliants or irritating ingredients during the transition period.

What to do about inflamed pimples or under-eye bags?
Targeted spot treatments with antibacterial agents such as zinc, tea tree, or black seed oil can help locally. Important: Do not apply pressure, as this promotes inflammation and scarring.

Does nutrition help with impure skin?
A balanced, low-sugar diet with minimal dairy products can improve the appearance of your skin. Drinking enough water, omega-3 fatty acids, and zinc can also have a positive effect.
