PEVONIA ProCorrective Clear-Control Exfoliator - 150ml

There’s nothing quite as frustrating as waking up, looking in the mirror, and seeing a blemish that has literally appeared out of nowhere overnight! Especially when you thought your breakout days were left behind in your teenage years! The thing is hormonal acne doesn’t just affect teenagers, it’s incredibly common in adulthood too, particularly in our late 30s, 40s and beyond. The tricky part is that hormonal acne is very different from a standard breakout, and because it can be so stubborn, it needs a more thoughtful approach than simply trying to “dry it out”. Instead, the key is to support the skin with gentle, targeted care that helps calm inflammation, protect the skin barrier and keep breakouts under control. Keep reading as we share the best professional skincare tips, ingredients, and expert-approved products to help keep stubborn hormonal breakouts at bay and your skin looking healthier, calmer, and more balanced!   How do you know it’s hormonal acne? Hormonal breakouts are often linked to changes in hormones that can affect oil production and inflammation in the skin. It commonly shows up as deep, tender spots, recurring breakouts or congestion that tends to cluster along the chin, jawline and lower cheeks, and occasionally the neck. This is distinctly different from congestion related acne which tends to appear across the T-zone (forehead, nose and chin.)  For many people, hormonal acne flares a week or so before a period, due to hormonal shifts. As oestrogen (the “female” hormone) levels drop, androgens (“male” hormones) have a relatively stronger effect on the skin often increasing oil production and congestion, which can lead to your skin breaking out. Hormonal acne also flares during other hormonal shifts such as stress, pregnancy, perimenopause and menopause!   The best skincare ingredients for hormonal acne The goal with hormonal acne is to keep the skin barrier strong and supported, target active breakouts and calm the inflammation that drives the redness and pain. Some of the most effective ingredients include: Salicylic & lactic acids to help clear pores and reduce congestion. Niacinamide to calm redness and balance oil Clay & charcoal to detoxify pores and absorb excess oil Hyaluronic acid for lightweight hydration Vitamin A and retinol alternatives to support skin renewal Soothing botanicals to reduce irritation   The best routine for hormonal acne Because hormonal acne tends to be deeper and more persistent than the occasional blemish, it often responds best to a routine that is both targeted and gentle. A simple routine is often the best place to start when treating hormonal acne. One of the biggest mistakes people make is over-cleansing or using harsh products that leave the skin feeling tight and dry. When the skin barrier becomes compromised, it can trigger even more oil production and irritation! Instead, it’s best to choose professional skincare that deeply cleanses without stripping the skin and focus on maintaining hydration and balance. Remember also that consistency is key, hormonal acne rarely improves overnight, but gentle, targeted skincare can help visibly improve the skin over time.   1. Choose a gentle, purifying cleanser You want to opt for a cleanser that removes excess oil, sunscreen and impurities while clearing out dead skin cells without stripping your skin and leaving your face feeling tight or dry. Remember over-cleansing can irritate the barrier and make breakouts feel worse. Our recommendation: Medicalia Clarifying Cleanser Specifically created for those with breakout prone and sensitive/oily skin, it’s formulated with both Salicylic and Lactic acids to gently but effectively unclog pores and soften skin while improving clarity! Its potent foaming suds work very quickly to eliminate surface bacteria, toxins, impurities and makeup while combatting inflammation too! “I’ve been using this cleanser for a year now. Keeps my sebaceous filaments in check and has helped control my hormonal acne better than any other cleanser I’ve used.” – Sophie H 2. Use targeted treatments that balance oil production This is where actives can be helpful. Specific ingredients can support clearer-looking skin while helping to calm inflammation. To tackle the stubborn hormonal acne you’re experiencing, look for a targeted serum that helps balance excess oil production, calm redness and irritation, and support the skin’s natural healing process without over-drying the skin. Our recommendation: Pevonia Soothing Propolis Concentrate This is one of BC’s best-selling serums and it’s a particular favourite for hormonal breakouts because of its extraordinary natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Propolis is a resinous compound produced by bees that has been used medicinally for thousands of years and in skincare, it’s one of the most effective naturally derived antibacterial actives available. Applied to the skin, Propolis helps reduce the bacteria that colonise clogged pores and contribute to inflammatory breakouts. It calms redness and swelling around active spots, speeds up the skin’s healing process and helps prevent new breakouts from forming! Amazing right? And unlike harsh antiseptic actives, it does all of this without disrupting the skin barrier or causing dryness! Now you can see why it’s a Pevonia favourite. What makes it particularly useful for hormonal acne though is that it can be used as a preventative applied consistently during the week or two before your period when you know breakouts are likely, it helps minimise the severity of what appears and speeds up recovery when blemishes do develop. “I love this product, i bought it while i was pregnant and had severe hormonal acne and it seemed to calm and soothe my skin and reduced the "angriness" of my skin!” – Melinda I 4. Support skin healing & hydration It’s a myth that oily and acne prone skin doesn’t need nourishment! A common mistake people with acne make is skipping moisturiser because your skin feels oily. By doing so your skin will become dehydrated, go into panic mode and actually product more oil to compensate! You just need an oil-free, healing moisturiser. Our Recommendation: Medicalia Clarifying Cream This lightweight, fast absorbing clarifying moisturiser is ideal for hormonal acne-prone skin because it delivers hydration without feeling heavy, greasy, or pore-clogging. Formulated with salicylic and glycolic acids it helps calm congestion, rebalance excess oil, and support the skin barrier. It also works to keep skin feeling hydrated, soothed, and healthier-looking while helping reduce the appearance of redness and breakouts. What makes it especially great for hormonal acne is that it helps nourish and comfort stressed, inflamed skin without overloading it (something many richer creams can do!) The result? Skin feels more balanced, less irritated, and better supported overall, with a clearer, calmer-looking complexion over time. “it's expensive but it's been a lifesaver for my acne prone skin! I've noticed it helps keep my sebaceous filaments in check also.” – Sophie H 5. At night, use a “cell turnover” treatment Because hormonal acne is often linked to congestion, excess oil, and trapped dead skin cells, encouraging your skin to renew itself more effectively is essential. Overnight treatments that support healthy cell turnover can help keep pores clearer, improve skin texture, and reduce the appearance of persistent breakouts over time. Our recommendation: Medicalia Retinol & 'C' Care Retinol is considered the gold standard for acne-prone skin because it helps speed up cell turnover, keeping pores clearer and reducing congestion. Combined with Hyaluronic Acid, Ceramides and Vitamin C, it also helps to brighten the skin and fade the lingering red or brown post-breakout marks that blemishes often leave behind. 6. Don’t forget SPF Daily sun protection is essential, especially if you are using active ingredients that may make your skin more sensitive. A good SPF helps protect your skin while you work on improving its overall condition. Our recommendation: Hubislab Herb 8 Soothing Blemish Balm SPF30 PA++ - 50g Formulated with Zinc Oxide, SPF30 broad-spectrum filters, and Hubislab’s signature Anti Toxin Herb 8 complex, this soothing sunscreen designed for sensitive skin works to alleviate irritation, calm redness, support skin recovery, and strengthen the skin barrier! It’s your SPF and skin treatment in one! 7. Once a week apply a mask Adding a weekly mask into your skincare routine can make a huge difference when it comes to managing hormonal breakouts. Masks help give the skin a deeper clean while targeting excess oil, congestion, and inflammation, all without needing to overload your skin with harsh daily treatments! Use a detoxifying or clarifying mask to help absorb excess oil, decongest pores, and calm inflammation, especially in the lead-up to your period when hormonal breakouts often flare. Our recommendation: Pevonia Pure Skin Charcoal Mask This purifying charcoal and clay mask is ideal for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin. It helps draw out impurities, absorb excess oil, and leave the skin feeling clearer, smoother, and more balanced without stripping away essential moisture. It’s the perfect weekly reset for skin that feels congested, inflamed, or prone to stubborn hormonal breakouts. “Being in my 50's I wasn't sure if this would dry my skin out, but I bought it coz I had a few breakouts - hormonal I guess. I've used it daily for about 3 days and it's totally cleared my skin up - it feels de-congested, clear and smooth. I love this mask.” – Melinda Hopkins The lifestyle habits that can actually make a difference too Skincare can manage the symptoms of hormonal acne beautifully but if you want to address the root cause as well, these lifestyle factors are worth taking seriously: Avoid picking or squeezing breakouts Because hormonal blemishes are deep, picking or squeezing them (even though tempting) won't bring them to a head. Picking often leads to more inflammation and can increase the risk of marks or scarring. Track your cycle If you notice your skin flares up a week before your period, you can adjust your skincare a few days early to include more purifying, anti-inflammatory ingredients as a preventative step. Reduce your dairy and sugar intake While diet doesn't cause acne, high-sugar foods and dairy can cause spikes in insulin and inflammation, which can worsen hormonal flares. Reducing high-glycaemic foods is actually one of the most evidence-backed dietary changes for hormonal acne. Swapping refined carbohydrates and sugars for whole grains, vegetables and protein helps stabilise blood sugar and reduce androgen activity. Focus on stress management Stress is actually one of the biggest contributors to hormonal breakouts! This is because stress releases a hormone called cortisol, which directly tells your skin to produce more oil leading to inflammation and flare ups! Believe me we know saying manage your stress is easier said than done! But something as simple as medication, listening to music, breathing mindfully and exercising (even if it’s a walk) can help regulate cortisol levels. Also never underestimate the power of a calming self-care ritual! And a good night's sleep (7 to 9 hours nine hours is not a luxury for acne-prone skin, it’s part of the treatment!) Consider spearmint tea There is actually meaningful clinical evidence that spearmint tea has mild anti-androgenic properties. Two cups a day has been shown in small studies to reduce hormonal acne. It’s not a miracle cure but it’s a pleasant, zero-risk addition to a management approach. Talk to your GP or dermatologist If your hormonal acne is severe, cystic or significantly affecting your quality of life, please seek professional medical advice. There are effective medical interventions available, from oral contraceptives to spironolactone, that work alongside good skincare.   Hormonal acne can take time to improve, so consistency is essential. Rather than attacking the skin with aggressive products, focus on supporting and strengthening the skin barrier while using targeted ingredients that help reduce congestion and inflammation over time. With the right skincare routine, professional advice, and healthy lifestyle habits, hormonal acne can absolutely become more manageable.

We all know sleep is very important for our health and wellbeing, after all we’ve been hearing it since we were kids! But did you know your sleep habits could be quietly affecting your skin too? What you do (and don't do) in the hours before bed (and even the way you sleep) can make a surprisingly significant difference to how your skin looks and feels by morning. We're talking dullness, dehydration, premature fine lines, breakouts and more, all influenced by habits most of us don't even think twice about! Keep reading to discover 11 common sleep habits that could be working against your skin, and the very simple changes (and skincare products!) that can help you wake up looking fresher, smoother and more radiant.   Firstly, why is sleep so important for your skin Sleep is one of the most underrated parts of a good skincare routine. This is because while you sleep your skin is doing something truly remarkable! Between the hours of approximately 10pm and 4am, cell turnover peaks, collagen production ramps up and your skin works overtime to repair the damage of the day (from UV exposure to pollution to the stress hormones your body spent the day accumulating!) In other words, sleep is your skin’s most powerful treatment! To learn more about what really happens to your skin while you sleep click here.   The sleep habits that are secretly damaging your skin and how to fix them Certain habits we’re all guilty of can seriously undermine the nighttime repair process without us even realising. From the pillowcase you’ve been sleeping on for too long to the skincare step you always skip when you’re tired, here are 10 sleep habits that might be quietly ruining your skin. Plus the easy fixes and products that can help.   Habit 1: You don’t always remove your makeup before bed It sounds obvious, but it’s one of the biggest culprits when it comes to damaging your skin overnight! Sleeping in makeup is never good for your skin. When not removed, the makeup, oil, environmental pollutants, and harmful free radicals you’ve gathered on your skin during the day seeps deeply into your pores causing breakouts, irritation, dryness and dullness, as well as speeding up the ageing process! Whether you’ve innocently fallen asleep on the couch watching your favourite Netflix show (I’m sure we’ve all been there!) or were out partying until the wee hours, remember just a few minutes cleansing your skin can make a huge difference to how it looks and feels (and I’m not just talking about the next day!) The Fix: Use the Phytomer Rose Visage Toning Cleansing Lotion. It’s an all-in-one makeup remover and toner and a BC favourite because it’s quick, effective, and easy to use (no water needed). Alcohol-free and infinitely gentle, this lotion removes makeup and tones without leaving an oily film. The skin is left velvety clean. Habit 2: You’re skipping your nighttime skincare Cleansing is step one, but it’s what you apply after that makes the real difference overnight. While you sleep, your skin does most of its repair work, it’s permeability increases, meaning it absorbs active ingredients more effectively than at any other time of day. So going to bed with bare, dehydrated skin means missing out on that recovery window big time! The fix: Your overnight routine doesn’t need to be complicated. A good serum and a night cream is genuinely enough. But they need to be the right ones! Rich enough to support overnight repair, and active enough to make the most of those peak absorption hours. We highly recommend a nourishing night cream like Phytomer Night Recharge Youth Enhancing Cream. It’s a beautifully nourishing cream that quite literally cocoons skin in rich silky marine goodness. It helps support renewal, detoxify, firm and deeply nourish your complexion. What’s more it’s specifically formulated to recharge your skin overnight, so you wake up looking gorgeously glowy and rested even if you didn't get your full eight hours! It’s one of my personal absolute favourites!  Habit 3: Or you’re overloading your skin with strong actives instead! If you’re the far from lazy type and you love to slap on lots of skincare goodness before bed, we know it can be tempting to layer on every active you own! But overdoing it at night can compromise your skin barrier leading to sensitivity, dryness and irritation. So if your face feels sensitive, tight or reactive, your nighttime routine may need a little simplifying! The fix: Focus on consistency rather than complexity. A gentle cleanse, one targeted treatment and a nourishing moisturiser is often enough to keep skin happy and balanced.   Habit 4: You’re sleeping on the wrong pillowcase This one surprises people. Your pillowcase has more impact on your skin than you might expect and I’m sorry to say that your regular cotton pillowcase is not your complexion’s friend! This is because cotton is absorbent, so it annoyingly draws moisture away from your skin as you sleep! It also creates friction as you move, which contributes to sleep lines, crease marks and the deepening of wrinkles! If you’re applying a beautiful night cream and then sleeping on cotton, you’re essentially letting the pillowcase absorb half of it! The fix: Switch to a silk or satin pillowcase. Silk creates significantly less friction against the skin, doesn’t absorb your skincare products nearly as efficiently, and is naturally temperature-regulating which also helps with any skin that tends towards redness or sensitivity overnight. It’s one of the simplest, most passive upgrades you can make for your skin (and your hair, while you’re at it). If you love your cotton pillowcase too much to make the change to satin or silk (I get you) try doubling down on overnight hydration to compensate for what a cotton pillowcase might be stealing! The Pevonia Power Repair Hyaluronic Acid Hydra Serum applied before your night cream helps lock moisture into the skin so it stays there all night, pillowcase notwithstanding!   Habit 5: You’re not changing your pillowcase often enough No matter what type of pillowcase you opt for, a pillowcase that hasn't been changed in over a week is a breeding ground for bacteria, oil, sweat, hair product residue, and dead skin cells, all of which can contribute to congestion, irritation and breakouts! The fix: Aim to swap your pillowcase at least once or twice a week preferably. It sounds like a lot but the difference for breakout-prone and congestion-prone skin can be genuinely significant. If you’re dealing with persistent breakouts or unexplained congestion especially on your cheeks, your pillowcase is one of the first places to look. Habit 6: You’re eating or drinking the wrong things before bed What you consume in the hours before sleep has a more direct impact on your skin than most people realise! Alcohol is one of the biggest offenders! And yes we know that glass of vino or two might be calling your name after a long, hard day’s work but just know that if you want to sleep more soundly it’s not the best idea! This is because alcohol dehydrates the skin, disrupts the skin barrier, increases inflammation and significantly reduces sleep quality, meaning your skin won’t get the repair time it needs! Then there are high-salt meals which can cause fluid retention overnight, showing up as puffiness (particularly around the eyes) by morning. High-sugar foods spike cortisol and insulin levels, which can trigger inflammation and contribute to breakouts! Oh and many of us love a cup of tea before bed too, but caffeine, like alcohol is a no no. It is a central nervous system stimulant that blocks adenosine, a chemical in the brain that makes you feel tired. Consuming it within even 4–6 hours of bedtime reduces sleep quality, keeps you in lighter sleep stages, and can cause insomnia, fragmented sleep, and increased alertness when you should be resting and your skin repairing! The fix: Try to finish eating at least two hours before bed. Keep alcohol to a minimum on weeknights. Drink a large glass of water before sleeping (dehydration is one of the most straightforward causes of dull, tired-looking morning skin). And if you know you’ve had a salty or indulgent evening, double down on your overnight skincare to compensate. Habit 7: You wear your hair down for bed I know it feels better having your hair down for bed (this is my preference too) but doing so can mean a few breakouts in the morning. This is because your hair’s natural oils (in addition to any hair products you might be using) can clog your pores and cause irritation! The fix: Ideally you’ll want to wear your hair in a loose ponytail or bun (not up tight which can cause damage or lead to headaches!) Another option is to sleep in a satin or silk bonnet or cap which can prevent any breakage, friction, tangles and frizz and keep hair intact.   Habit 8: Your room temperature is too warm or too cold Here’s one that genuinely surprises people. Your bedroom temperature has a direct impact on both the quality of your sleep and the condition of your skin while you sleep. If your room is too warm it can cause you to sweat during sleep, which dehydrates the skin, clogs pores with sweat and oil and contributes to breakouts and congestion. It also disrupts deep sleep (which is when your skin does its most important repair work!) Night sweats strip the skin of moisture, leaving it dehydrated and dull by morning. And if your room is too cold, it causes the blood vessels in the skin to constrict, reducing the flow of oxygen and nutrients to skin cells overnight. Very dry, cold air (particularly in heated or air-conditioned rooms) also draws moisture out of the skin, contributing to dehydration, tightness and increased sensitivity, especially in those with already dry or reactive skin! The fix: The ideal sleep temperature is between 16 and 20 °C— cool but not cold. If your room tends to run warm, a fan or light air conditioning will help. If it’s cold and dry, a humidifier makes a real difference to the moisture levels in the air and in turn your skin!   Habit 9: You’re "screen-scrolling" in the dark That "one last scroll" through Instagram isn't just hurting your sleep quality, the blue light from your phone can actually contribute to skin ageing and hyperpigmentation. Plus, as we know the lack of sleep prevents your skin from entering its peak regeneration phase. The fix: Put the phone away 30 minutes before bed. Use that time to apply your skincare intentionally, relax and get yourself and your skin ready to recoup.   Habit 10: You’re sleeping on your side or stomach Sleep position is one of those things nobody tells you about until you start noticing the crease lines on your face at 9am and realise they haven’t faded by noon! Sleeping on your side or face-down pushes the skin against the pillow for hours at a time, creating compression wrinkles that (over years) can become permanent. It also causes fluid to pool on whichever side of your face is resting downward, contributing to one-sided puffiness and under-eye bags! The fix: Try sleeping on your back where possible, and we know all to well that if you’re a committed side sleeper this is one of the hardest habits to change! A contoured or butterfly-shaped pillow can help keep you in position. And in the meantime, addressing puffiness in the morning with the right eye product makes a genuine visible difference! We recommend the Pevonia C Évolutive Eye Gel. Cool it in the fridge overnight and apply first thing in the morning. The chilled gel instantly de-puffs, reduces the appearance of dark circles and refreshes the eye area making whatever your sleep position did to your face look a lot more like a good night’s rest. Or reach for the Vie Collection Chrono Eyes Puffiness Dark Circles Wrinkle Cream which targets all three classic morning-eye concerns in one step. Habit 11: You’re not getting enough (or good enough) sleep This is the big one. Lack of sleep affects everything from collagen production to hydration levels, leaving skin looking tired, dull and less resilient. The fix: 7 to 9 hours of quality sleep is the goal. Consistent sleep and wake times make a bigger difference than most people expect, your skin’s repair processes are partly governed by your circadian rhythm, so regularity matters as much as duration. If you have trouble getting to sleep here are 7 self-care rituals to help you and your skin indulge in blissful slumber, as recommended by the experts.   Your skin does its best work while you sleep so your nighttime habits matter more than you might think. The good news is that small, simple changes can make a big difference, helping you wake up to skin that looks fresher, smoother and more radiant.
