What really happens to skin when we get pimples or acne?
Oil, sweat, and dead skin cells from the dermis go out to the epidermis or the surface of the skin through the hair follicle. However, for acne-prone skin, oil, sweat and dead skin cells easily get trapped inside hair follicles, forming a plug. It then forms a bump (called a comedone) on the surface of the skin. This plug creates an environment where bacteria can thrive and can infect the bumps thus making it inflamed. Once it swells, the follicle wall breaks into the dermis, signaling white blood cells to fight the infection. This results to redness, swelling, and formation of pustule, making the pimple or blemish rather unsightly.

Céleteque’s Acne Solutions
To address the concern of pimples and blemishes and attack it from the source, Céleteque offers a line of Dermo-grade Acne Solutions. Each product is equipped with pimple-fighting active ingredients infused into the different products in the line.

CLEANSE
An effective anti-pimple regimen begins with proper cleansing. Céleteque DermoScience™ Acne Solutions Acne Cleansing Gel (PhP 270.00 for 50 ml or PhP 495.00 for 100 ml) is a thorough cleanser that has Hydroxy Acid (in the form of Salicylic Acid) that can penetrate hair follicles and exfoliate dead skin cells, thus removing blockage and reducing comedones on the skin. There was a time when my skin was completely breaking out, this and the spot corrector were my holy grail products.

TONE
For an even deeper clean, Céleteque DermoScience™ Acne Solutions Oil Control Toner (PhP 75.00 for 65 ml or PhP 117.00 125 ml) has Aloe Vera and Chamomile Extracts that help soothe the skin while removing the last traces of stubborn dirt.

TREAT
This is my favorite in the Acne Solutions Line! The Céleteque DermoScience™ Acne Solutions Acne Spot Corrector Gel (PhP 169.00 for 5 ml). It’s spot solution that is infused with Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) and Poly Hydroxy Acid (PHA) that aid in exfoliating dead skin cells and help in reducing pimples and other acne imperfections. Aside from combating present pimples, it also contains Lilac Leaf Cell Culture Extract that helps decrease sebum production to prevent future acne breakouts. This get rids of my pimples in only a week! I’m definitely impressed!

MOISTURIZE
The Céleteque DermoScience™ Acne Solutions Acne Clearing Facial Moisturizer Gel (PhP 335.00 for 50 ml) has Salicylic Acid that breaks down blockage in pores and Acnacidol™ BG that helps reduce sebum secretion and inhibits the development of acne-causing bacteria. It is important to control excessive sebum production in order to avoid future breakouts. What’s nice about this moisturizer is its non-sticky gel formulation. It also has French Spring Water for significant smoothening and hydration of the skin.
