Congestion
Bumpy, uneven skin under the surface that you can feel more than see.
Congestion is a build-up in the follicle that has not become an inflamed spot. Skin often feels rough or grainy, particularly on the cheeks, forehead and chin.
We identify what is contributing, whether products, barrier damage, hormones or habit, and treat the skin gently enough that it does not retaliate.

Frequently asked
- Is congestion the same as acne?
- No. There is no inflammation, although congestion can progress to spots if left.
- Am I over-cleansing?
- Possibly. Stripped skin often produces more oil. We look at your routine first.
- How long does it take to clear?
- Usually a few cycles of skin turnover, so think in months rather than days.
