ACNE PRESCRIPTION
Heal acne naturally—from the inside out and the outside in.
1. WHY YOU STILL HAVE ACNE
Acne is a symptom—not a condition. It's the result of internal imbalances, chronic inflammation, and a disrupted skin barrier. Conventional treatments often make things worse by over-drying and irritating the skin.
Root causes include:
Blood sugar spikes → increase sebum and androgens.
Chronic inflammation → fueled by seed oils, stress, and poor sleep.
Leaky gut → allows toxins into circulation, triggering skin flares.
Poor detoxification → overburdens the skin as an elimination organ.
Hormonal dysregulation → from PCOS, estrogen dominance, or cortisol surges.
Overuse of harsh skincare → weakens the lipid barrier and microbiome
Deficiencies in zinc, omega-3s, magnesium, and B vitamins.
2. THE FUNCTIONAL BEAUTY™ APPROACH
Functional Beauty addresses the source—not the symptom. We don’t fight the skin. We support it, internally and externally.
5 Core Strategies:

5. SKINCARE INGREDIENTS: WHAT TO USE & WHAT TO AVOID
Not all “acne-fighting” ingredients are helpful. Many worsen inflammation and long-term sensitivity. Here’s what to look for—and what to leave behind.
WHAT TO USE:
- Niacinamide – Calms redness, regulates oil production, and strengthens the skin barrier
- Salicylic Acid – A BHA that exfoliates inside pores, ideal for blackheads and oily skin
- Retinyl Esters or Bakuchiol – Gentler alternatives to prescription retinoids for acne and texture
- Azelaic Acid – Calms inflammation and targets C. acnes bacteria
- Hypochlorous Acid (e.g., Tower 28 Spray) – Antibacterial and barrier-friendly
- Hyaluronic Acid + Beta Glucan – Hydrate without clogging or disrupting microbiome.
- Benzoyl Peroxide – Linked to benzene contamination, damages microbiome
- Essential oils – Citrus, mint, lavender, and others often trigger irritation
- Fragrance (even natural) – One of the top causes of perioral dermatitis
- Synthetic preservatives (like phenoxyethanol) – May disrupt skin’s ecosystem
- Over-exfoliation – Damages the lipid barrier and worsens inflammation
- Toners with alcohols – Drying and microbiome-disruptive
