Clindamycin

How it works

Clindamycin calms the skin by reducing inflammation and swelling caused by acne. It’s one of the most widely trusted topical antibiotics, recommended by dermatologists across the globe. To lower the risk of antibiotic resistance, it’s often paired with ingredients like Azelaic Acid for a more balanced and effective treatment.

Possible Side Effects

Most people tolerate it well, but some may experience mild irritation such as dryness, redness, itching, or a slight burning sensation.

A powerful acne fighting ingredient that works by killing acne causing bacteria and clearing out clogged pores especially effective for inflammatory and pustular breakouts.

How it works

Benzoyl Peroxide targets Cutibacterium acnes on the skin’s surface, helping to reduce the bacteria that cause inflammation and breakouts. It also works as a gentle exfoliant, keeping pores clear of oil and dead skin. It’s commonly used in combination with other active ingredients to boost results and reduce the chances of resistance.

Possible Side Effects

This ingredient can sometimes cause dryness, peeling, or mild irritation  especially at the start of treatment. It may also bleach fabrics like towels or pillowcases, so use with care.

A gold standard ingredient in dermatology, Tretinoin is a prescription only retinoid derived from Vitamin A and far more powerful than over-the-counter options like retinol.

How it works

Tretinoin speeds up skin cell turnover, which means it helps your skin shed dead cells faster and pushes fresh, healthy cells to the surface. This not only clears clogged pores but also boosts collagen production, fades pigmentation, smooths texture, and even helps reverse sun damage. Basically, it’s working on multiple fronts , acne, aging, tone, and texture ,all at once.

Why it’s prescribed

Whether you’re dealing with persistent breakouts, melasma, post-acne marks, or early signs of aging, Tretinoin is often the first line of treatment. It’s clinically proven to reduce acne, minimise the appearance of pores, soften fine lines, and even out skin tone.

Potency matters

Tretinoin is estimated to be up to 20x stronger than retinol, which is why it’s available by prescription only and why it works when others don’t.

Also known as Vitamin B3, Niacinamide is a multitasking ingredient known for its calming, balancing, and skin strengthening effects and it works beautifully across a wide range of skin concerns.

How it works

Niacinamide helps reduce visible fine lines, improves uneven skin tone, and regulates oil production making it ideal for acne-prone or rosacea-prone skin. It also supports your skin barrier by increasing ceramide production, which locks in moisture and strengthens the skin over time.

On top of that, it acts as an antioxidant  helping to neutralize damage from UV exposure and environmental stress, while fading dark spots and signs of inflammation.

It’s often included in formulas to help buffer irritation from stronger actives like Tretinoin, making your treatment more effective and more comfortable.

Possible Side Effects

Niacinamide is generally well-tolerated, even for sensitive skin. In rare cases, it may cause mild redness, a bit of tingling, or slight irritation when first introduced.

Let’s talk fine lines.

Azelaic Acid

A naturally derived acid from yeast, Azelaic Acid is one of those multi-tasking actives that quietly does a lot  from fighting breakouts to fading pigmentation, all while keeping the skin calm and clear.

How it works

Azelaic Acid helps clear pores by gently exfoliating dead skin, while also killing acne causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes). As an antioxidant, it calms inflammation, reduces redness, and is helpful for both acne and rosacea-prone skin.

But it doesn’t stop there  it also works to slow melanin production, which makes it especially useful in reducing post-acne marks, sun-induced pigmentation, and melasma. Over time, it improves texture and boosts overall clarity.

Possible Side Effects

Some people experience mild irritation or tingling when first starting Azelaic Acid especially if they’re new to exfoliating actives. This usually settles with regular use. In rare cases, it can lead to skin lightening, particularly in deeper skin tones, so we monitor closely and adjust your formula if needed.

Tailored Care for Hormonally Impacted Skin

Dryness, dullness, pigmentation, uneven texture. Menopause affects your skin in ways no one really warns you about. And when hormones shift, so does everything else: collagen drops, melanin overproduces, and the skin starts feeling thinner and more reactive.

But it doesn’t have to stay that way.

Vitamin C

A potent antioxidant that brightens skin and protects against environmental damage.

Vitamin C helps reduce pigmentation, boost collagen production, and defend the skin from oxidative stress. In menopausal skin  which becomes more vulnerable to  UV damage and uneven tone . Vitamin C plays a key role in restoring radiance and firmness.

Possible Side Effects

Generally well tolerated, but may cause mild tingling or sensitivity when first introduced. Best used in a stabilised form and gradually increased in strength.

Hydroquinone should always be used under professional guidance. Some people may experience temporary dryness, peeling, or irritation. Long-term use requires breaks to prevent rebound pigmentation or skin sensitivity.
