Clogged pores daily treatment: Probiotics + gentle salicylic acid for acne, blackheads & congestion

What does yogurt, kombucha and clear skin all have in common? Good-for-you bacteria and yes, probiotics can not only help your gut, but keep your skin microbiome in check too.

Let’s rewind: the microbiome, which is found under the top layer of dead skin, consists of billions of micro-organisms that help form a natural barrier against bad bacteria while managing inflammation and the skin’s pH.

Just like your gut, the goal is to have a balanced microbiome because when it’s not, it can lead to skin issues like acne, rosacea or eczema.

Formulated with no fragrance or alcohol, this serum will treat acne, blackheads, and clogged pores without drying out or irritating your skin. In addition to probiotics, not a drill relies on:

• 1.5% salicylic acid: a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) from willow bark, penetrates so deeply into the skin it dissolves skin debris that clog pores, and acts as an anti-inflammatory to reduce red inflamed pimples and pustules. in decongesting skin, it helps reduce excess oil.
• 1% hyaluronic: a sugar molecule, helps to bind water to collagen, trapping it in the skin, so that skin can appear plumper, dewier, and more hydrated. a must for acne-prone skin, as it typically doesn’t have a very strong lipid barrier.
• Blueberry extracts: loaded with vitamins A, C and E, work to promote cell turnover while firming, tightening, and soothing the skin. they also contain resveratrol, which can help keep acne at bay while preventing sun damage and subsequent premature ageing.
• Orange blossom: we swapped distilled water for orange blossom water due to its rich anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties.
• Allantoin & aloe vera: relieves irritation and locks in that moisture! it has your skin’s back by calming it and supporting its natural barrier function.

Use this product to your own peril: benefits are seriously not a drill!
