Dr. Shoghi's Acne Dream Routine

This routine targets the key sources of acne, with each product either supporting or balancing the others. The key elements of the routine are exfoliation, sebum management, and barrier support. Specifically: 

  • The LHA Cleansing Gel removes oils, dirt, and other debris from the skin. 
  • The Exfoliating Polish removes dead skin cells, and the Acne Treatment Pads boost its effect by loosening the connections between old cells and fresher cells underneath.
  • The Silymarin CF provides strong antioxidant support, protecting cell function, and the silymarin in it downregulates sebum production and provides additional exfoliation. 
  • The Phyto A+ Treatment further modulates oil production, gives additional exfoliation, and brightens hyperpigmentation many of us get from acne lesions. 
  • The Triple Lipid, used twice daily, protects the skin from all that exfoliation, keeping your skin from overproducing sebum. 
  • The AlphaRet Clearing Serum is a powerful retinoid that increases cell turnover, improving metabolic activity. It also has salycilic acid, which again downregulates oil production and keeps pores clear. 
  • The Physical Matte SPF 50 protects from UV radiation while mattifying the skin, reducing shine from oil your skin produces during the day and making a great base for most makeup. 

All that said, everyone's skin is different; some people would benefit from slightly less exfoliation, while others may not need the strong barrier support from the Triple Lipid. Dropping by the clinic to talk with our expert staff, or booking a consult to review your skin care program and discuss treatments, is the best way to make sure you're getting the most out of your routine.
