Why Choose the Breakout System™?
Scientifically Proven Ingredients for Clearer Skin
The Breakout System™ combines advanced medical-grade ingredients with powerful Australian native botanicals. Each product in the system works together to target breakouts at their root, reduce redness, calm inflammation, and promote skin healing. This isn’t just skincare, it’s science at work for your skin.
Targeting All Types of Acne with Purposeful Ingredients
Do you have pimples, blackheads, whiteheads, cysts, redness or sensitivity? The Breakout System™ addresses all these concerns with specific, clinically proven ingredients built into the individual products:
- Acetyl Octapeptide-3: Often referred to as a “Botox-like peptide,” this ingredient relaxes the muscles beneath the skin, reducing the appearance of acne-related scars and promoting smoother skin texture.
- Hyaluronic Acid: Provides deep hydration to prevent the dryness and irritation, and keeps skin balanced.
- Magnesium, Zinc, & Copper: This mineral trio works synergistically to calm inflammation, regulate oil production, and boost skin healing. Zinc, in particular, is essential for reducing redness and swelling, while magnesium and copper support the skin’s repair processes.
- Manuka Honey: A natural antibacterial powerhouse, Manuka honey targets acne-causing bacteria while soothing irritated skin. Its hydrating properties also prevents dryness.
- Sphingolipids & Phospholipids: These lipids repair and strengthen the skin’s barrier, protecting it from external aggressors like bacteria and pollutants that can trigger breakouts. They also help maintain moisture, ensuring the skin remains hydrated and balanced.
- Tea Tree Oil: Known for its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects, tea tree oil helps reduce swelling, redness, and bacteria, making it an ideal ingredient for tackling redness.
- Vitamin A (Retinyl): Regulates oil production to reduce clogged pores (blackheads and whiteheads) while promoting skin renewal to minimise scarring.
- Vitamin B (Niacinamide): Calms inflammation, reduces redness, and balances skin’s oil production, ideal for managing sensitive, acne-prone skin.
- Vitamin C (Kakadu Plum): A powerful antioxidant that brightens dark spots caused by post-acne pigmentation and prevents further damage.
- Vitamin E (Tocopherol): Repairs and soothes damaged skin while protecting against environmental aggressors.
By addressing the root causes including bacteria, inflammation, oil imbalance, and compromised skin barriers, these carefully selected ingredients ensure the Breakout System™ delivers visible, lasting results for all skin types and acne concerns.
