Blackhead Blaster and Pore Tightening Set

1 · Start with a clean slate
Morning and night, wash your face with a mild, low-foam cleanser (not included).
Rinse with lukewarm water, pat dry, and keep skin slightly damp so treatments absorb evenly.

2 · Morning routine (AM)
Tone — Sweep Oil-Control Toner 2 % BHA across face and neck; avoid the eye area.

Treat — Press 2–3 drops of Niacinamide 5 % + Zinc PCA Serum over skin until fully absorbed.

Seal & Protect — Follow with a lightweight moisturiser and broad-spectrum SPF 50 + to guard against post-blemish marks.

3 · Evening routine (PM)
Cleanse as above.

Tone with Oil-Control Toner 2 % BHA; wait about 30 seconds.

Treat with Niacinamide + Zinc PCA Serum.

Finish with a non-comedogenic night cream.

Weekly Exfoliating Step
On one night each week (increase to two if skin tolerates well):

Cleanse and pat skin dry.

Smooth a thin layer of AHA 10 % + BHA 2 % Peeling Solution over face; avoid eyes and broken skin.

Leave on no longer than 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Skip the toner that night; apply Niacinamide Serum once skin is completely dry, then moisturiser.

Do not apply retinol, benzoyl peroxide, or other strong acids on the same night.

4 · Layering with other actives
Vitamin C (AM): Vitamin C → 1-minute pause → BHA Toner → Niacinamide Serum → SPF.

Retinol (PM): Use on nights without the Peeling Solution; retinol → 2–3 min pause → Niacinamide Serum (skip toner if skin feels sensitive).

Hydrators (Hyaluronic/B5): Layer after Niacinamide Serum for extra moisture.

Benzoyl Peroxide ≥ 2.5 %: Alternate nights with BHA Toner to prevent over-drying.

5 · Pro tips
Introduce the Peeling Solution slowly—once weekly for the first month.

Always patch-test before first use; tingling for the first minute is normal.

Apply an extra drop of Niacinamide Serum to especially oily zones at midday if needed.

Re-apply SPF every two hours outdoors to protect freshly exfoliated skin.

Store the Peeling Solution and Niacinamide Serum in a cool, dark place to maintain potency.

Salicylic acid in the toner keeps pores clear daily; the weekly AHA/BHA peel sweeps away stubborn buildup, and 5 % Niacinamide + Zinc PCA calms and tightens—leaving skin visibly clearer, smoother, and more balanced.

AHA 10% + BHA 2% Peeling Solution
Glycolic Acid (AHA) – 10%
Water-soluble acid that resurfaces dull, textured skin by loosening dead cells at the surface. Visibly brightens and smooths.
Salicylic Acid (BHA) – 2%
Oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates deep into pores to dissolve sebum and debris—ideal for blackheads and congestion.
Tasmanian Pepperberry Extract + Allantoin
Calms inflammation and reduces irritation often associated with strong exfoliants.
Panthenol + Glycerin
Hydrate and buffer against dryness while exfoliating.
pH ~3.6–3.8
Optimized for active delivery with minimized risk of sensitization.

A 10-minute rinse-off peel that combines resurfacing acids with skin-soothing support—ideal for blackheads, roughness, and dull tone.

Niacinamide 5% + Zinc PCA Serum
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) – 5%
Refines visible pores, improves uneven tone, and helps reduce post-blemish marks without irritation.
Zinc PCA – 0.5%
Controls excess sebum and calms inflammation, particularly beneficial for oily or acne-prone skin.
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) + Glycerin + Propanediol
Maintain hydration and skin comfort while improving ingredient penetration.
pH ~5.0–5.5
Supports skin’s natural barrier and daily compatibility.

A daily serum that controls oil, refines pores, and supports clear, balanced skin—especially when used alongside exfoliating treatments.

Oil Control Toner 2% BHA (Salicylic Acid)
Salicylic Acid – 2%
Targets deep pore congestion and excess oil without disrupting barrier function. Helps smooth texture and prevent blemishes.
Willow Bark Extract
A natural BHA alternative that enhances exfoliation while providing antioxidants.
Niacinamide + Zinc PCA
Control shine, reduce redness, and reinforce skin clarity.
Glycerin + Propanediol
Hydrate and prevent over-drying post-exfoliation.
pH ~4.0–4.5
Acidic enough for effective exfoliation without sensitizing the skin.

A leave-on liquid exfoliant that balances oil, clears pores, and prepares skin for serums—without stinging or stripping.

Clogged Pores & Blackheads
A rinse-off 10 % AHA + 2 % BHA peeling solution loosens the mix of dead cells and oil that blocks follicles; a daily 2 % BHA toner then keeps pore linings clear so new plugs are less likely to form.

Enlarged or “Orange-Peel” Pores
Consistent exfoliation removes debris that stretches pore walls, while 5 % niacinamide + 0.5 % zinc PCA reinforce the surrounding skin, helping pores appear tighter and more refined.

Oily & Combination Skin / Sebum Balance
Oil-soluble salicylic acid dives deep to dissolve excess sebum, and zinc PCA modulates sebaceous activity, cutting visible shine without over-drying.

Active Breakouts & Redness
BHAs target C. acnes bacteria; niacinamide calms inflammatory mediators, so spots look flatter and less angry and resolve more quickly.

Rough Texture & Dullness
Glycolic + lactic (AHA) acids resurface the top layer, revealing smoother, light-reflective skin beneath—no gritty scrubs required.

Uneven Tone & Post-Blemish Marks (PIH)
Accelerated cell turnover plus niacinamide’s pigment-transfer inhibition help lingering red-brown marks fade faster, without hydroquinone.

Sensitive, Blemish-Prone Skin
All three formulas are fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and pH-balanced; time-limited peeling and barrier-friendly daily steps minimise the risk of irritation or rebound oiliness.

Why it outperforms look-alikes
Dual-phase 10 % AHA + 2 % BHA peeling mask — combines surface-polishing glycolic/lactic with pore-deep salicylic in a single 10-minute treatment at a clinic-aligned pH (~3.6).

Dermatologist-aligned 5 % niacinamide + 0.5 % zinc PCA — proven to cut surface oil by ~23 % in four weeks while strengthening pore walls; many brands omit zinc due to cost.

True 2 % salicylic acid toner — delivers daily pore decongestion in a lightweight, non-sticky base that layers seamlessly under other treatments.

Strategic weekly + daily sequencing — intensive peel for reset; gentle BHA and niacinamide for upkeep—achieving clearer pores with less risk of over-exfoliation.

Barrier-respectful formulations — fragrance-free, alcohol-free, non-comedogenic, and packaged to keep actives stable until the last drop.
