Understanding Acne: It’s More Than Just Oil

Acne isn’t solely about clogged pores or oily skin- it often reflects a deeper root cause: an imbalanced skin microbiome. In healthy skin, various strains of Cutibacterium acnes coexist peacefully, many even aiding in skin protection. Trouble begins when certain harmful strains proliferate, triggering inflammation, breakouts, and persistent redness.

Using harsh cleansers that strip oil may offer temporary relief—but they don’t address the microbiome imbalance and can worsen the situation by damaging the skin’s barrier.

That’s why the gentle, science-driven SIV Biome Balancing Serum is such a game-changer. Its probiotic Bacillus spores help restore microbial harmony, calm inflammation, and enhance barrier function- leading to clearer, calmer skin.

Holistic Acne Care: Inside-and-Out Support

At Inner Beauty Shop, our approach to acne care goes beyond topical fixes. We pair targeted skincare with internal wellness and soothing treatments to create a truly balanced routine:

• Organic Neem Capsules
  Harnessing Ayurvedic neem’s purifying and anti-inflammatory benefits, these capsules support internal balance and help combat breakouts at their core.
• N°1 Squalane Oil
  Lightweight and non-comedogenic, this oil helps replenish natural lipids—balancing sebum production without clogging pores.
• I’M FROM Mugwort Cream
  Rich in calming Korean mugwort extract (over 73%), this hydrating cream soothes irritated, acne-prone skin and strengthens the barrier without greasiness—perfect for supporting healing.
• BHA Salicylic Acid Original Clear Pads
  Daily use of these gentle, pre-soaked pads helps clear clogged pores and remove dead skin cells—clearing the way for better absorption of healing ingredients.
• White Jade Gua Sha Tool
  Thoughtful facial massage after applying SIV Serum can reduce inflammation, improve circulation, and enhance product absorption—supporting faster recovery and glow.
