PERFORMANCE

When the skin gets inflamed from acne, our skin releases melanin.  This causes dark spots known as inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).  The effect from from PIH can last longer than acne itself and is most prevalent in melanin-rich skin. 

It is essential to treat acne skin with a different approach for those with darker skin tones because a simple breakout can result in scarring, dark marks, and keloids.

HEAL treats acne with the use of gentle ingredients.  Gentle ingredients are a must when treating acne as harsher products can cause severe dryness and/or irritation which worsens dark spots.  HEAL is designed to activate preventative measures, improve, and minimize scarring most commonly known as dark spots.

FAQs

What is the HEAL Cleanser?

Heal Face Cleanser is a water-based cleanser formulated to remove impurities and particles with the inclusion of sweat and dirt from the outermost layer of skin.

Is this cleanser good for oily skin?

Water-soluble particles, such as dirt and pollution, mix in the lather of the cleanser and is rinsed off of the skin.  In addition, this rinses away the natural oils, which makes this an ideal choice for oily or acne-prone skin.

I noticed it contains activated charcoal, would that be drying to the skin?

Activated charcoal is chalked full of antioxidants that removes bacteria from. Additionally, charcoal works as a deep cleanser, even for those with dry skin.   In short, activated charcoal is gentle and cleanses your skin without stripping off the moisture.
