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 HEAL Face Serum?
Face serums are designed to offer a bigger impact to your skin care routine. Serums provide a great amount of active ingredients compared to a cleanser.
What is the benefit of using a facial serum?
Serums are made to nourish, protect, and hydrate skin. They contain active ingredients that will penetrate the skin's surface to treat skin-specific issues like acne, discoloration, dullness, or fine lines. Our HEAL face serum is designed to tackle acne-prone skin concerns with the use of our key ingredient niacinamide -- a form of vitamin B3 -- an anti-inflammatory.
How should I use a serum?
The best and effective way to use our HEAL serum is to apply following cleansing and toning. Can be applied morning and night, but we highly suggest applying in the morning to help protect skin against environmental assaults and free radical production produced by light.
