1Understanding What Causes Acne
Acne develops when hair follicles become blocked with sebum and dead skin cells. Bacteria — primarily Cutibacterium acnes — colonise these blocked follicles, triggering an inflammatory response that manifests as papules, pustules, nodules or cysts. Contributing factors include excess sebum production, abnormal skin cell shedding, bacterial proliferation, hormonal fluctuations, diet, stress and certain medications. Effective treatment must address as many of these factors as possible simultaneously.
2The RégimA Acne Attack Approach
RégimA's Acne Attack range is built on the Zone concept — addressing acne through three spheres of influence: anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and normalising. Rather than relying on a single aggressive active that strips and irritates, the range uses a synergistic blend of clinically effective ingredients at maximum safe concentrations. The result is a programme that clears existing breakouts, prevents new ones and improves overall skin health — without the dryness, peeling and sensitivity associated with conventional acne treatments.
3Key Ingredients in the Acne Attack Range
Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to dissolve the sebum and dead cell plugs that cause blockages. Niacinamide reduces sebum production, minimises pore appearance and delivers powerful anti-inflammatory benefits. Zinc regulates oil production and has proven antibacterial properties. Azelaic acid targets both bacteria and the post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that often follows breakouts. Together, these actives create a comprehensive anti-acne environment.
4Treating Acne Scarring
One of RégimA's greatest strengths is its ability to address not just active acne but the scarring it leaves behind. The brand's internationally recognised scar repair technology — used in post-surgical and post-laser care — is equally effective on acne scarring. A combination of in-salon Power Peels and targeted home care can significantly improve the appearance of both atrophic (pitted) and post-inflammatory hyperpigmented scars over a course of treatment.
5What to Expect During Treatment
In the first two weeks, some purging may occur as the actives accelerate cell turnover and bring congestion to the surface. This is a normal and positive sign that the products are working. By weeks three to four, most clients notice a significant reduction in new breakouts and an improvement in skin texture. By week eight, the skin is typically clearer, calmer and more balanced than it has been in years. Consistency is key — the programme must be followed as prescribed for optimal results.
6Professional Treatments for Acne
For moderate to severe acne, in-salon treatments significantly accelerate results. RégimA's Acne Attack Power Peels are performed by trained professionals and combine chemical exfoliation with targeted anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory actives. A course of six to eight peels, combined with the home care programme, delivers transformative results that home care alone cannot achieve.
