RESQ Clearing Skin-shot

• Breakouts
• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Sebaceous filaments
• Perioral dermatitis
• Acne-prone skin
• Breakouts on the neck, chest, and back.

Acne and blemishes can be distressing—not only because of their visible appearance but also due to the underlying inflammation, blocked pores, blackheads, and bacterial activity that delay healing and increase the risk of scarring.

With over 30 years of experience working with the skin, I’ve learned that understanding these factors is essential for effective treatment, which includes:

• Excessive skin cell turnover leading to pore blockages
• Accumulation of dead cells, environmental pollutants, and debris within the follicles
• Proliferation of bacteria in sebum (oil) rich environments
• Hormonal fluctuations that drive elevated sebum production

ResQ has been formulated to address all these key issues. Its calming, antimicrobial, and pore-clearing ingredients work together to reduce inflammation, gently exfoliate dead skin cells, target acne-causing bacteria, and control oil production to support your skin’s natural healing.

• Decongests pores
• Dries surface blemishes
• Soothes and calms inflammation
• Controls excess oil production
• Antimicrobial actives target acne-causing bacteria

Daily Ritual: Do not shake. Dip a clean cotton tip into the pink sediment at the bottom of the bottle and apply directly to clean, dry skin on the blemish. Allow to dry naturally.

Use once or twice daily, as required. If shaken, leave the bottle undisturbed overnight to allow the formula to resettle.

Contraindications: Not suitable for use on inflamed, peeling, or broken skin.

Salicylic Acid (2%): Targets blocked pores and congestion by dissolving oil and dead skin within the follicle to prevent and treat comedones.

Manuka Honey: Addresses inflamed, bacteria-prone skin with proven antimicrobial and healing properties that support recovery and reduce acne-related irritation.

Sulphur: Clears persistent breakouts by exfoliating the pore lining and reducing excess oil without disrupting the skin barrier.

Bentonite Clay: Combats oiliness and impurity build-up by binding to toxins and sebum, drawing them from the skin to restore clarity.

Zinc Oxide: Reduces surface oil and calms inflammation with its natural astringent and soothing mineral properties.

We’ve identified seven common skin irritants—alcohol, synthetic fragrances, parabens, sodium lauryl sulphate (SLS), formaldehyde, triclosan, and petrolatum—that are known to contribute to skin issues. You won’t find any of these in our products. Our goal isn’t to alarm but to inform, helping you make safer, healthier choices for your skin. [Follow the link  to learn more.]
