Impure skin
Impure skin is characterized by the appearance of pimples, pustules, blackheads and often redness and inflammation.
Complexion
The complexion is often uneven and prone to inflammation and skin irritation.
Pores
Acne-prone skin typically has enlarged pores. These pores can become clogged, leading to further skin issues.
Unique characteristic
Targeted care with antibacterial and sebum-regulating products helps to reduce impurities and clarify the skin.
Impure skin is a condition characterized by the appearance of blackheads, pimples, pustules, and sometimes acne. It is caused by a combination of excessive sebum production, clogged pores, and the presence of bacteria that can lead to inflammation. Impure skin can occur at any age but is particularly common during puberty due to hormonal changes.
The main causes of impure skin are diverse:
Yes, impure skin can also be dry. Although impure skin is often associated with oiliness, people with dry skin can also experience blemishes. This occurs when the skin barrier is damaged, preventing the skin from retaining enough moisture and making it more vulnerable to irritants and bacteria. A weakened skin barrier can lead to micro-inflammations and clogged pores, which in turn cause impurities.
It is important to avoid products containing comedogenic ingredients, which can clog pores and lead to blackheads and pimples. These ingredients include:
For the care of impure skin, products with the following active ingredients are suitable:
These ingredients help keep pores clean, reduce inflammation, and improve skin appearance.
It is recommended to wash your face twice daily, in the morning and evening, with a mild yet effective cleansing foam, followed by a clarifying toner. Over-washing can dry out the skin and increase sebum production, leading to more impurities. Make sure to use a cleansing foam that thoroughly cleanses the skin without causing irritation or dryness.
To prevent acne scars, it's important to avoid squeezing pimples and maintain a good skincare routine. The following treatments can be helpful for acne scars:

Tips for radiant and beautiful skin
1. Gentle cleansing
Use a mild yet effective cleansing foam to remove excess oil and dirt without drying out the skin. Cleansing foams and toners with ingredients like salicylic acid, niacinamide, and witch hazel extract are ideal, as they have antibacterial properties and help dissolve pore-clogging residues. Cleanse your face twice daily to keep pores clear.
2. Avoid aggressive products
Avoid using harsh exfoliants and alcohol-based toners, which can irritate the skin and stimulate excess oil production. Instead, choose products with soothing and anti-inflammatory ingredients like aloe vera or panthenol to reduce redness and calm the skin.
3. Non-comedogenic day and night creams
Even acne-prone skin needs moisture. Opt for light, non-comedogenic day and night creams that won’t clog pores. Products with ingredients like niacinamide or hyaluronic acid can help hydrate the skin while also reducing inflammation.
4. Targeted treatment
Use special treatments such as serums with retinoids or Acnacidol™ that are applied directly to the affected areas. These products help kill bacteria, reduce inflammation and renew skin cells.
5. Nutrition and hydration
Focus on a balanced diet with low sugar and dairy, as these can worsen acne in some individuals. Instead, include plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains to provide essential nutrients for your skin. Drink enough water to stay hydrated and flush out toxins.
6. Stress relief
Stress can trigger hormones that increase oil production and lead to breakouts. Practice stress-relief techniques such as yoga, meditation, or deep breathing exercises to find inner balance and help calm your skin.
7. Hands away from face
Refrain from frequently touching your face, as this can transfer bacteria and dirt to your skin. This includes avoiding picking or squeezing pimples, as it can worsen inflammation and lead to scarring.
8. Regular change of bed linen and towels
Bedding and towels can harbor bacteria and oils that may contribute to skin problems. Regularly changing them helps minimize bacterial spread and keeps your skin healthy.
9. Choice of cosmetics
Choose makeup labeled as "non-comedogenic" to avoid clogging pores. Make sure to thoroughly remove makeup before bedtime to prevent skin irritation.
The skin produces sebum (oil) to keep it supple. However, excessive sebum production can lead to clogged pores, which can serve as a breeding ground for bacteria and result in pimples and blackheads.
Hormone play a crucial role in regulating sebum production. Changes in hormone levels, such as those occurring during puberty, menstruation, pregnancy, or due to certain medications, can lead to increased sebum production and consequently result in blemished skin.
Propionibacterium acnes (P. acnes) is a bacterium that lives in the pores of the skin and feeds on sebum. An overgrowth of these bacteria can cause inflammation and contribute to the formation of pimples and pustules.
Sebum, dead skin cells, and dirt can accumulate in the pores and clog them. This often leads to the formation of blackheads (open comedones) and whiteheads (closed comedones), which can later become inflamed.
The predisposition to acne and blemished skin can be inherited. If family members have similar skin issues, there is a higher likelihood of experiencing them yourself.
Certain foods, especially those high in sugar or dairy, can worsen the skin for some individuals. An overall unhealthy diet can also negatively impact the skin.
Stress can affect hormone production, particularly the production of cortisol, which can stimulate sebaceous gland activity. This can lead to an increase in skin blemishes.
The use of unsuitable or overly aggressive skincare products can irritate the skin and weaken its natural protective barriers. This can lead to increased oil production and inflammation.
Environmental pollution, dirt, and fine dust can accumulate on the skin and clog pores. High humidity or sweating can also promote the occurrence of skin blemishes.
Interesting facts about impure skin
Pimples, also known as acne or blemishes, are small, inflamed bumps on the skin caused by clogged pores. They develop when oil, dead skin cells, and dirt block the pores, allowing a bacterium called Propionibacterium acnes to proliferate within these blocked pores. These bacteria cause inflammation, leading to red, swollen, and sometimes painful pustules. Pimples can appear in various forms, including blackheads, whiteheads, papules, and pustules.
The causes of pimples are diverse and include hormonal changes, genetic predisposition, improper skincare, diet, and stress. Hormonal fluctuations, such as those during puberty, menstruation, or pregnancy, can increase oil production and thereby contribute to the formation of pimples. Genetic factors also play a role, as the tendency to develop acne is often hereditary.
Acne is a common skin condition caused by the inflammation and blockage of hair follicles and sebaceous glands. This skin disorder often occurs during puberty but can also affect adults. Acne manifests as blackheads, inflammatory pustules, papules, and deep cysts, and can lead to scarring in severe cases.
The development of acne is multifactorial and is primarily influenced by hormonal fluctuations. These can occur not only during puberty but also during the menstrual cycle, pregnancy, or through the use of certain medications, such as steroids. Additionally, genetic predisposition plays a role; individuals with a family history of acne are more likely to experience this skin condition. Other factors that can contribute to worsening the skin condition include stress, an imbalanced diet (especially the consumption of sugar and dairy products), and environmental influences such as air pollution.

Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, strengthens the skin barrier and has anti-inflammatory effects. It helps reduce redness and irritation and improves skin texture. Niacinamide is especially beneficial for impure skin as it regulates sebum production and minimizes the appearance of pores.
Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is an essential antioxidant and a must in facial care for impure skin. In addition to its antioxidant properties, vitamin C also offers benefits for impure skin. It helps lighten acne scars and stimulates the skin to produce new, healthier cells.
Glycolic acid, an AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid), promotes skin renewal and effectively removes dead skin cells. It helps refine the complexion and reduce impurities as well as hyperpigmentation. Its exfoliating effect makes glycolic acid an important component in facial care for impure skin.

Start your skincare routine with the "Foam Intense" cleansing foam. This foam gently yet thoroughly removes makeup residues, excess oil, and dead skin cells without drying out the skin. It is ideal for deep cleansing impure skin and prepares it optimally for subsequent care.
After cleansing with "Foam Intense," use the "Purifying Tonic," which creates an optimal acidic skin environment and perfectly prepares the skin for the absorption of active ingredients. Additionally, the contained salicylic acid penetrates deep into the pores, promotes the exfoliation of dead skin cells, and removes blockages. This makes the "Purifying Tonic" an essential step in the skincare routine for impure skin.
In the morning, after cleansing, apply the "Vit C + Biobotox Serum," which activates collagen synthesis, lightens acne scars, and relaxes fine lines. Then apply the "Anti-Pollution Day Cream," which protects your skin during the day from harmful environmental factors like UV/blue light and infrared rays.
In the evening, after double cleansing with "Foam Intense" and "Purifying Tonic," we recommend the "Purifying Power Serum," which targets keratinization disorders and inflammatory skin changes. Complement your evening routine with the "Retinol Serum," which effectively combats skin impurities, activates cell renewal, and can reduce pigmentation spots and acne scars. Finish your evening routine with the "Purifying Night Cream," which ensures maximum regeneration of your skin overnight.
For a more intensive treatment, we recommend the "Anti-Aging 15% Fruit Acid Peeling" and the "Bamboo Enzyme Powder Peeling." Use these peels 2-3 times a week or as an intensive treatment daily for a week to deeply cleanse and renew your skin.
