Did You Know?
Alpha lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant itself, helps
increase the efficacy of other antioxidants such as
vitamins C and E. By enabling these vitamins to
work more effectively, alpha lipoic acid maximizes
the repair potential they provide, helping to lessen
cellular damage, irritation, and aging.

Definition of Acne
Acne is an inflammatory skin condition that
occurs when oil and dead skin cells block
the pore opening, causing sebum (oil) to
build up inside the pore.
Night Treatment
Acne Life Cycle
Stage 1: Clogged Pores. Cells lining pores shed and
mix with excess sebum produced by sebaceous
glands, forming a plug, which leads to clogged pores.
Stage 2: Bacteria. Accumulated sebum and dead
cells attract the P. acnes (or propionibacterium)
bacteria naturally found in skin, which feeds on oil and
multiplies rapidly inside pores.
Stage 3: Inflammation. This bacterial overgrowth
triggers the natural inflammatory response causing
swelling and redness. This can ultimately lead to
discoloration and scarring.

Treating Acne
When treating acne topically, dermatologists recommend
a three-pronged approach:
• Unclog pores and keep them clear.
• Control oil which helps to limit bacterial growth.
• Reduce inflammation.

scarring ranging from mild to severe. There are ingredients
though that can diminish scars and remnant marks left behind
from past breakouts.

Key Benefits Supported
Night Treatment
Key Benefit Supported
Addresses the PAST issues of blemish-prone skin:
• Alpha lipoic acid helps decrease the appearance of remnant
marks (uneven skin texture and discoloration) associated with
past breakouts. It stimulates the skin’s nutrient intake and
removal of wastes, promoting healthy skin cell renewal and scar
tissue repair. The result is a smoother appearance and a
reduction of scars left from PAST breakouts. Alpha lipoic acid is
a powerful antioxidant that boosts the efficacy of vitamins C and
E in the skin and is patented for reducing erythema (redness),
pore size, and scarring.
Night Treatment
Key Benefit Supported
Addresses the PAST issues of blemish-prone skin:
• Retinol (vitamin A) accelerates skin renewal. It helps thicken skin,
normalize lipid synthesis, and increase collagen synthesis. By doing so,
retinol smoothes uneven skin texture, improves elasticity, and helps
lighten discoloration.
Night Treatment
Key Benefit Supported
Addresses the PRESENT issues of blemish-prone skin:
• Licorice root extract (Glycyrrhiza glabra) is a 5 alpha-reductase inhibitor,
which interferes with the stimulation of sebaceous glands to produce sebum.
It also interferes with the enzymes that stimulate pro-inflammatory responses
in the skin, so it is a good anti-inflammatory agent. This ingredient is what
contributes to the yellow color of the Night Treatment.
• Salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid, penetrates pores and gently exfoliates to
eliminate most blemishes. Beta hydroxy acids provide long term benefits by
sloughing off dead skin cells and by speeding up the cell renewal processes
of the skin. Salicylic acid is lipophilic and, therefore, has an affinity for oils,
allowing it to penetrate into the pores and break down the plug. Salicylic acid
keeps the follicles clear so the pimple forming environment is wiped out.
