Breakouts, blemishes, and congestion - whether it’s the occasional flare-up, stubborn, persistent acne or hormonal spots at any age - the right routine can make all the difference. The key?

The Detoxifying Cleanser
Therapi Lemon Myrtle Honey Gel Cleanser is a refreshing gel wash that purifies oily and combination skin. With clarifying lemon myrtle and anti-bacterial honey, it gently lifts away impurities and deeply cleans skin while keeping skin balanced. It's great for those who like to match their beauty products to their eco-credentials: certified organic, made in the UK, cruelty-free and in glass packaging.
- Need a Make-Up Remover too? Add one of these options first.
- Prefer a Foamy Cleanser? Try the Nini Organics Detox Foam, it goes foamy with water.
- Option Under £15: We love the Weleda Deep Cleansing Gel.
The Clarifying Mask
Nuori Clarity Mask is a detoxifying clay treatment that clears congestion while keeping skin calm. Kaolin and Bentonite clays draw out impurities, while Chlorophyll and Camphor have been included for their anti-bacterial action. The base contains Squalane, and Hyaluronic Acid so skin stays nourished - never stripped! Keep it in your kit for both occasional flare-ups (hormonal or food related!) and more persistent blemishes.
- Our Tip - try it as a spot treatment overnight just dab on blemish.
- Option Under £25: Try the Evolve True Balance SOS Mask.
The Multi-Tasking Toner
Sometimes the missing link in a routine can be a functional toner or essence - they provide an additional layer that preps the skin for what's to come. The Daily Acid Toner from Josh Rosebrook is one of these brilliant multi-tasking products. It has been designed to gently exfoliate and rebalance making it ideal for spot-prone skin. A blend of pyruvic, malic, citric, and glycolic acids helps clear clogged pores, smooth texture, and reduce breakouts - revealing brighter, more even skin with every use. Instantly soothes and softens without stripping, making it ideal for sensitive or congested skin types.
- Option Under £15: Try the Weleda Refining Toner
The Blemish Calming Serum
Serums are where the highest concentration of actives are found in your routine so you really want your serum choice to target the key concern. Pai Skincare’s All Becomes Clear Blemish Serum fights blemishes with Zinc PCA to control oil and Copaiba to calm inflammation.
This serum helps prevent new blemishes while supporting skin healing and keeping hydration levels in check, ensuring skin stays smooth and comfortable, not flaky or irritated. It clears congestion while being gentle enough for sensitive, breakout-prone skin.
The Detox Oil
Oil for oily skin? Absolutely! Oil is often frowned upon for oily or spot-prone skin - but that’s old news. The right facial oils can actually help balance sebum production, reduce inflammation, and support a healthy skin barrier, which is often compromised in acne-prone skin. Lightweight, non-comedogenic oils can dissolve pore-clogging debris, calm breakouts, and keep skin hydrated without triggering excess shine - helping restore clarity without stripping your skin.
It’s not about skipping oil - it’s about choosing the right one - and we love the Nini Organics Detox Oil. Infused with herbal extracts like Nettle Leaf, Milk Thistle, and Red Clover in Jojoba Oil it's like a tonic for your skin.
- Just have the odd spot you want to target? Try the Odacite Pimples Serum Concentrate - dab it on the spot to help clear quickly.
The Light Moisturiser
Spot-prone skin still needs moisture - don’t skip it. Dehydrating the skin can actually trigger more oil production and worsen breakouts. Keeping skin properly hydrated helps support barrier function, calm inflammation, and maintain balance.
The key? Choose lightweight, non-comedogenic hydrators that nourish without clogging pores. Try the Evolve True Balance Gel Cream for a lightweight, mattifying moisturiser with Ginger Plant Cells to tighten pores and refine texture, and Avocado Extract to regulate shine, it brings balance without dryness. Hyaluronic Acid delivers a burst of hydration, keeping skin plump, clear, and comfortable.

The Internal Cleanse
The Beauty Chef Daily Supergreens is your inner skincare essential - a bio-fermented powder packed with spirulina, kale, and milk thistle to support detoxification and gut health. With added prebiotics, probiotics, and digestive enzymes, it helps reduce internal stressors that can trigger breakouts.
