Skin Type 1
Oily, problem skin requires a careful combination of AHA and BHA pore-cleaning exfoliants, along with antiseptic botanicals like natural Green Tea and Calendula to effectively reduce breakouts. This routine helps to disinfect, calm, control oil and clear clogged pores without causing irritation or drying out the skin. Your problem skin will be clear, more even-toned, healthy and balanced with fewer blemishes.
OILY / CLOGGED PORES / SEVERE BREAKOUTS ALL-OVER

THE SYMPTOMS OF SKIN TYPE 1
EXTREMELY OILY SKIN
This is someone who produces a lot of oil and may have larger pores. You may get very shiny and greasy throughout the day.
If your face gets shiny a couple of hours after washing your face, it might be because you used something too strong. However, a true oily skin type is when your skin is still oily and shiny, even while using gentle products. If you’re somebody who has to blot their skin and powder your face often, and you feel like you are very oily all the time, then you may identify with this skin type.
LARGE PORES ON ENTIRE FACE
People that have large pores on their face usually have oily skin. So, if you’re someone who has large pores in the t-zone and they extend out to your cheek area, then you might have Skin Type 1.
CONSTANT, SEVERE ACNE
This is someone who gets blemishes every day. These aren’t lingering blemishes that are still healing, but brand new blemishes that consistently pop up daily.
POST-BLEMISH RED SCARS THAT LINGER
Lingering red scars and dark marks post-blemish can also be a sign that you are a Skin Type 1. You don’t want to confuse this with new blemishes popping up because anyone will get red marks when that happens, this is about marks that linger.
BREAKS OUT FROM HEAVY OILS
You may be somebody that breaks out when using heavy oils or pore-clogging ingredients. If you have to be very careful with what you use because you feel like products break you and you get whiteheads and blemishes, this may be you.
WANTS CLEARER, SMOOTHER SKIN
If you want clearer and smoother skin but are someone that gets consistent breakouts and deals with excessive oiliness, obviously you want to keep that managed and keep your skin clear and even-toned. Our treatment recommendations for Skin Type 1 help address this.
TEENS & ADULTS UP TO 25 YEARS OLD
Typically, someone that is a Skin Type 1 will be in their teen years or up to about 25 years old. That’s not to say you can’t be this Skin Type if you’re outside this age range, but this is the most common age range where you would be more breakout-prone.
