TREATMENT RITUALS AT HOME

Your skin is clean. Congratulations — you’ve officially unlocked the next level.

Step two of your skincare routine is treatment, and this is where real change happens. This is where we build, repair, and actively correct the skin instead of just moisturizing and hoping for the best.

If cleansing is the foundation, treatment is the construction crew.

What Treatments Are Actually For

Serums and treatment lotions are designed to:

  • correct acne

  • fade pigmentation

  • repair the barrier

  • support healing

  • improve texture and tone

This step is intentional. Random layering is not the vibe.

How Much Product Are We Using?

Let’s be clear:

  • Serums: 1 pump

  • Application: Thin film, full face

  • Timing: Apply → let it fully absorb → then move on

More product does not equal more results. It equals irritation, congestion, and regret.

If Acne & Pigmentation Are Your Targets

We start smart. Not aggressive.

Your first treatment should always support healing + inflammation control before you go nuclear on acne.

Enter the PIE / PIH Dream Team:

  • Daily Skin Clarifier

  • Restoring Fulvic Elixir

This combo works to:

  • calm inflammation

  • support healing of active acne

  • brighten post-acne marks

  • lighten pigmentation without compromising the barrier

This is how you treat acne and the damage it leaves behind — simultaneously.

Healthy skin heals faster. Period.

Now… When You’re in the THICK of Acne

This is where things change.

If you’re actively breaking out, congested, inflamed, and mad about it — we bring in a targeted acne treatment lotion.

Example: Night Time Control

This is not a “slap it on whenever” product.

How to use it properly:

  • Spot treat active acne in the AM

  • Apply to clean, dry skin

  • Allow it to fully absorb

  • Do this before coffee, makeup, SPF, or moisturizer

We want intention here.
No slipping. No sliding. No diluting it with ten other products.

This is how acne is treated smartly, not aggressively.

TikTok Myth #2: “Layer All Your Actives at Once”

Absolutely not.

Mixing multiple actives because the internet told you to:

  • disrupts your barrier

  • increases inflammation

  • slows healing

  • causes rebound breakouts

More ≠ better.
Strategic ≠ boring.

TikTok Myth #3: “If It Burns, It’s Working”

Nope. That’s irritation. And irritated skin does not clear acne — it creates more of it.

products should feel:

  • calm

  • controlled

  • purposeful

  • intentional and goal orientated

Skin that feels supported will always outperform skin that’s being attacked.

The Bottom Line

Treatment is where we:

  • correct

  • rebuild

  • repair

  • and create long-term results

Not everything needs to be used every day. Not everything belongs on your face at once. And if your specifically dealing with acne LESS IS MORE.

Your skin thrives on consistency, strategy, and restraint — not trends.
