Built on evidence, not trends

A dermatologist's clinic,
distilled into a bottle.

For two decades Dr Steven has treated acne-prone skin in clinic — from teenage breakouts to adult hormonal cycles. Every formula here is the result of that practice: actives at clinically meaningful concentrations, paired with barrier-supporting ingredients so your skin clears without the irritation typically associated with acne treatments.

  • Salicylic acid (BHA) — dissolves keratin plugs deep inside pores.
  • Niacinamide — calms inflammation and regulates sebum.
  • Zinc PCA — controls oil and supports skin repair.
  • Ceramides + glycerin — rebuild the moisture barrier.
"Acne is not a hygiene problem. It's a biological one — and it responds beautifully to the right ingredients used consistently."
