Acne, enlarged pores, blemishes: the active ingredients that make a difference

Acne isn't limited to adolescence. Stress, pollution, hormonal imbalances... our skin can react at any time. But far from aggressive routines, today there are targeted, gentle and effective active ingredients that can soothe, purify and rebalance the skin without harshness. At Seasonly, we believe in a technical yet sensorial, demanding yet natural approach. Let's take a closer look at these active ingredients that target imperfections without causing irritation, helping the skin regain clarity, balance and evenness every day.

Retinol

It is undoubtedly the most renowned active ingredient for correcting imperfections while smoothing skin texture. Derived from vitamin A, retinol accelerates cell renewal, unclogs pores, reduces the appearance of pimples, and helps fade residual marks. It also stimulates collagen production, which visibly improves skin quality in the long term. Incorporate it gradually into your evening routine, making sure to protect your skin with SPF during the day.

Bakuchiol

Gentler than retinol, but just as promising, bakuchiol is a plant extract that acts on imperfections while respecting the most sensitive skin. It regulates cell renewal, limits the appearance of pimples, and improves skin texture. Non-photosensitizing, it can be used both morning and evening, alone or combined with other purifying active ingredients. It is found in our Imperfection Serum, which helps purify and balance the skin daily, with efficacy and tolerance.

Succinic acid

Still a little-known active ingredient, succinic acid is gaining popularity for its purifying and anti-inflammatory action. It helps limit bacterial proliferation, which causes pimples, while regulating sebum production. Less irritating than other acids like salicylic acid, for example, it is particularly appreciated by sensitive skin prone to imperfections. It also acts as a gentle exfoliant, promoting clearer skin without compromising its balance.

Azelaic acid

Little known to the general public but highly prized in dermatology, azelaic acid is a multifunctional active ingredient: it acts simultaneously on inflammatory imperfections, redness, pigment spots, and uneven skin tone. It regulates sebum production, promotes a more even complexion, and soothes sensitive skin.

Glycolic acid

Derived from AHAs, glycolic acid is a recognized exfoliant for smoothing skin texture and restoring radiance to dull complexions. It gently eliminates dead cells and stimulates cell renewal, while visibly improving the evenness of skin texture. At Seasonly, it is found in our Anti-Dullness Peeling Mask, a natural formula with fruit enzymes and vegetable oils, designed to offer a "new skin" effect in 21 days. Its gel-to-oil texture, ideal for self-massage, activates microcirculation and promotes a brighter, more even complexion without irritating the skin.

Centella asiatica

Used for centuries for its reparative properties, centella asiatica is a gentle yet powerful response to skin inflammation. It soothes, promotes healing, and strengthens the skin barrier. It is ideal after a breakout, when the skin needs to rebuild itself calmly.

In conclusion 

Skin prone to imperfections needs consistency, gentleness, and well-chosen active ingredients. Every skin is unique, and the key is to build a coherent routine, respecting its natural rhythm. At Seasonly, we have chosen a clean, high-performing formula, always combined with a massage gesture to enhance the benefits of the active ingredients.
