PURITO: For Skin That Breaks Out And Stings

Blemish-prone and reactive at once is the hardest combination to shop for. Most acne ranges are built to strip — strong cleansers, alcohol, aggressive actives — and on sensitive skin that produces more inflammation, which produces more blemishes.

PURITO formulates for that person specifically.

Calming rather than stripping

Oat, centella and panthenol do the work here. None of them fight a blemish directly. What they do is let it settle without taking the surrounding skin down with it — which matters, because the mark left behind lasts far longer than the spot did.

Six months of pigmentation from one week of blemish is a bad trade, and it is the trade harsh products keep making. More at the pigmentation guide.

Vegan and fragrance-free

Throughout the range. On reactive skin fragrance is one of the most common triggers, and removing it eliminates a whole category of problem.

A small, careful range

Not a wall of options. That is a feature when you are trying to work out what your skin tolerates — fewer variables, easier to isolate a reaction.

Where to start

Cleanser and gel cream, nothing else, for a fortnight. Add one thing at a time after that.
