Acne & Breakouts

Clear. Calm. Balance.

Breakouts aren't just a teenage skin concern.

Pimples, congestion, blackheads and unexpected flare-ups can happen at any age. Hormonal changes, stress, excess oil, environmental factors and changes in the skin can all influence how your complexion behaves.

As we get older, breakout-prone skin can become more complicated. You may experience congestion and excess oil in some areas while the rest of your skin feels dry, sensitive or easily irritated.

The Goodbye Wrinkles Acne & Breakouts Routine is designed to take a balanced approach — helping cleanse, refine, brighten and hydrate the skin without making dryness or irritation the goal.

You May Notice

• Recurring pimples or breakouts

• Blackheads or clogged-looking pores

• Congested or bumpy skin

• Excess oil or shine

• Uneven-looking texture

• Redness around blemishes

• Post-breakout marks

• Breakouts around the chin and jawline

• Skin that feels oily in some areas but dry in others

Why Do Adult Breakouts Happen?

Breakouts can occur when oil, dead skin cells and other debris build up within pores.

Hormonal fluctuations can also influence oil production, which is why some adults notice breakouts around the chin and jawline.

At the same time, mature skin can become drier and more sensitive. This means harsh cleansing and aggressive exfoliation may leave the skin feeling worse rather than better.

The goal is to cleanse effectively, gently refine the skin, support a balanced complexion and maintain hydration.

Your Recommended Routine

MORNING

1. CLEANSE — Lactic & Glycolic Cleanser

Helps cleanse away impurities and surface build-up while gently refining the appearance of skin texture.

How to use:
Massage onto damp skin and rinse with lukewarm water. If your skin is sensitive, begin every second morning.

Why use it:
Helps keep the complexion feeling fresh and smooth while removing the surface build-up that can contribute to a congested-looking complexion.

The Science:
Lactic and glycolic acids are AHAs that loosen the bonds between dead surface skin cells, helping them shed more evenly and improving the appearance of texture.

2. TREAT — Caviar Brightening Serum

A brightening treatment designed to improve the appearance of dullness, uneven tone and post-breakout marks.

How to use:
Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin before moisturising.

Why use it:
Breakouts can settle while leaving behind areas of uneven-looking pigmentation. This step helps bring the focus back to a clearer, brighter-looking complexion.

The Science:
Brightening ingredients can help improve the appearance of uneven pigmentation and support a more uniform-looking skin tone over time.

3. BALANCE — Vitamin B Complex Moisturizer

Featuring Niacinamide 10% + Bearberry + Glycolic, this multi-tasking moisturiser helps support a clearer, more balanced-looking complexion.

How to use:
Apply to the face and neck after your serum.

Why use it:
It combines hydration with ingredients chosen to support the appearance of oil balance, uneven tone and texture.

The Science:
Niacinamide, a form of vitamin B3, helps support the skin barrier and can improve the appearance of excess oil, uneven tone and texture.

4. SUPPORT — Probiotic Bifida Biome Barrier Cream

A nourishing barrier-supporting cream designed to keep breakout-prone skin hydrated and comfortable.

How to use:
Apply a thin layer after your moisturiser when your skin needs additional nourishment.

Why use it:
Breakout-prone skin still needs moisture. Supporting the skin barrier can help prevent the dry, tight feeling that may occur when using active or exfoliating skincare.

The Science:
Barrier-supporting moisturisers help reduce moisture loss, while emollient ingredients help soften and smooth the skin.

YOUR EVENING ROUTINE

1. FIRST CLEANSE — Makeup Melting Balm

Gently melt away makeup, sunscreen and daily build-up.

How to use:
Massage onto dry skin, then rinse thoroughly.

Why use it:
Helps remove makeup and sunscreen without excessive rubbing or repeated cleansing.

The Science:
Oil-based ingredients dissolve oil-soluble products such as makeup and sunscreen, helping lift them away from the skin.

2. SECOND CLEANSE — Lactic & Glycolic Cleanser

Follow with your Lactic & Glycolic Cleanser.

How to use:
Massage gently onto damp skin and rinse. If your skin is sensitive, begin a few evenings per week rather than using it every night.

Why use it:
Helps remove surface build-up and refine the appearance of rough or congested-looking skin.

The Science:
AHAs help loosen dead surface skin cells, encouraging more even shedding and smoother-looking texture.

3. RECOVER — PDRN Regenerative Serum

A restorative serum designed to support hydration, skin renewal and healthier-looking skin.

How to use:
Apply a few drops to clean, dry skin after cleansing and before moisturising.

Why use it:
Breakout-prone skin can also become stressed, dry or depleted. This step provides additional hydration and skin-supporting care without making the routine solely about treating blemishes.

The Science:
PDRN, or polydeoxyribonucleotide, is a DNA-derived ingredient studied for its role in tissue repair and regenerative processes. In skincare, it is used to support skin renewal and resilience.

4. TARGET — Collagen Eye Lift Serum

Targeted hydration for the delicate eye area.

How to use:
Apply a small amount around the eye area and gently tap in with your ring finger.

Why use it:
The eye area can show dryness and fine lines even when the rest of the complexion is breakout-prone.

The Science:
Hydration increases water content in the outer layers of the skin, temporarily plumping the surface and helping fine dehydration lines appear softer.

5. MOISTURISE — Vitamin B Complex Moisturizer

Apply to the face and neck after your treatment products.

Why use it:
Helps replenish moisture while providing niacinamide and other skin-supporting ingredients.

The Science:
Niacinamide supports the skin barrier and can help improve the appearance of uneven tone and excess oil.

6. SUPPORT — Probiotic Bifida Biome Barrier Cream

Finish with your barrier cream when additional hydration is needed.

How to use:
Apply a thin layer over your moisturiser.

Why use it:
Helps keep the skin comfortable and supported overnight, particularly when using active skincare.

The Science:
Barrier-supporting ingredients help reduce moisture loss and maintain the skin's protective outer layer.

Why These Steps Work Together

This routine isn't about drying out your skin to control breakouts.

It's about giving breakout-prone skin the right balance of cleansing, gentle exfoliation, targeted care, hydration and barrier support.

CLEANSE
Removes makeup, sunscreen, impurities and surface build-up.

REFINE
Lactic and glycolic acids help smooth the appearance of surface texture.

BRIGHTEN
Caviar Brightening Serum helps improve the appearance of post-breakout marks and uneven tone.

RECOVER
PDRN provides additional support for hydration and skin resilience.

BALANCE
Niacinamide helps support the appearance of balanced oil production, tone and texture.

HYDRATE & SUPPORT
Vitamin B Complex Moisturizer and Bifida Biome Barrier Cream help keep skin soft, hydrated and comfortable.

Together, the routine supports the needs of breakout-prone skin without forgetting that adult skin still needs moisture and barrier care.

Your Skin Goals

CLEARER-LOOKING PORES • FEWER VISIBLE BREAKOUTS • BALANCED-LOOKING SKIN • SMOOTHER TEXTURE • MORE EVEN TONE • HEALTHIER SKIN BARRIER

What You Can Expect

With consistent use, skin can look:

Clearer — with less visible congestion and surface build-up.

Smoother — as exfoliation helps refine the appearance of texture.

More balanced — with targeted niacinamide care and consistent hydration.

More even — helping improve the appearance of post-breakout marks.

Healthier-looking — with ongoing moisture and barrier support.

Don't Fight Your Skin. Support It.

When breakouts appear, it's tempting to scrub harder, cleanse more or dry the skin out.

But your skin still needs hydration.

A balanced routine can help you care for breakouts while supporting the skin around them — especially when your complexion is becoming more sensitive or dry with age.

Clear. Calm. Balance.

A complete routine for skin that feels congested, breakout-prone, uneven or simply not behaving the way it used to.

CLEANSE → REFINE → TREAT → BALANCE → HYDRATE → SUPPORT

Introduce active products gradually and discontinue use if irritation occurs. If acne is persistent, painful, cystic, suddenly worsens or is causing scarring, seek advice from a qualified healthcare professional or dermatologist
