Frequently Asked Questions

It’s genuinely hydrating. Hyaluronic Acid and Aloe Vera provide intense moisture, while the oil-free, non-comedogenic formula means it won’t clog pores or dry skin out the way some acne products can.

Most lotions just sit on the surface. This one uses patented Polylysine to balance your skin’s microbiome directly, addressing acne-causing bacteria rather than only treating visible breakouts.

No. It’s clinically proven to be non-comedogenic, meaning it’s specifically formulated not to clog or block pores while still providing intense hydration.

Yes, though it works best alongside Acne Control Wash. Used daily together, many people find they need Acne Spot Cream far less often for flare-ups.

Testimonial

“I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU for creating the Acne Control Lotion and Acne Control Spot Cream.

I’ve been struggling with acne since I was 16 and I’m 34 now – over half my life. Even though some may say it’s ’just’ acne, it takes quite a toll on you mentally. I’ve spent endless amounts of money on all types of creams, vitamins and treatments over that time but have never found a product which helps reduce my acne long term with no irritation.

I’ve been so impressed, the Acne Control Lotion and the Acne Spot Cream are my absolute favourites in my routine and have kept my acne under control.”
