It can be hard to keep up with the encyclopedia of skincare ingredients that feature in products today – knowing your AHAs from your BHAs can feel like a chemistry lesson.
But don’t let the complex terminology put you off – getting to grips with which active ingredients could benefit your skin could be a game-changer, particularly when it comes to pesky skin concerns like adult acne.
Adult acne is more common than you may think.
In fact, the NHS estimates that around 95% of people aged 11 to 30 are affected by acne.
While lifestyle tweaks such as a healthy diet and robust skincare routine can help, if the condition persists, a topical skincare product can help to banish blemishes and pave the way for clearer skin.
So thank the good lord of skincare for this Happy Skin Range we’ve come across, powered by AHAs and BHAs, along with the hero ingredient Niacinamide for a naturally healthy glow.
Aesthetic consultant and founder of Monteceuticals Josh Sim tells Metro.co.uk: ‘Niacinamide is a wonder ingredient because it’s so versatile. It not only hydrates the skin but when applied, it can help lock in the moisture. That’s especially important in colder months when the weather can dry out our skin.’
While AHAs and BHAs are both types of hydroxy acids and in turn exfoliate the skin, unclogging pores and removing dead layers of the skin’s surface for a fresher complexion.
Should you be down with your skincare terminology, the powerful formula contains BHA salicylic acid, which reduces pimples and redness, and hard-working AHA fruit acids, which are thought to minimise the appearance of pores and blackheads.
As well as this, the range includes the Happy Days Cleansing Foam, a pH-balanced foam gently that gently cleanses the skin, washing away dirt and grime in order to prevent congestion and reveal calmer, healthier skin (and remember, double cleansing is absolutely a thing, people).
The kit also contains a hero buy and the reason we’ve gathered you here today – the trusty Happy Place Blemish Gel, (€32/£28) which claims to visibly fade brown spots caused by sun damage, reduce breakouts and diminish red marks from past blemishes. Pop on problem areas for fast-acting results.
This three-step routine encourages its users to take part in a daily ritual – and, after all, consistency is key when it comes to skincare.
With a targeted approach, you’re more likely to see the results you want. And results are why we’re here!
