acne and oily skin
Evo offers treatments that treat, heal and prevent acne
Acne and oily skin can be frustrating to manage, especially when it feels like nothing truly works. Excess oil production, congested pores and recurring breakouts affect more than just your complexion – they impact how confident you feel in your skin.
Our approach to breakout-prone skin is thoughtful and strategic – we focus on building up your skin barrier while targeting the root causes of your concerns. A strong barrier regulates oil production, protects against bacteria and inflammation, and prevents the cycle of breakouts that comes from compromised, reactive skin.
Chemical peels like our Dermalogica Power Clear Peel, can be introduced to deeply purify pores, control oil and prevent future breakouts.

Common Questions
What causes acne and oily skin?
Acne develops when pores become clogged with excess oil, dead skin cells and bacteria, leading to inflammation and breakouts. Oily skin results from overactive sebaceous glands producing excess sebum. Triggers include hormones, genetics, stress, diet, harsh skincare and environmental factors. Sometimes, over-stripping the skin with harsh products actually causes more oil production as your skin tries to compensate.
Why is skin barrier health important for acne-prone skin?
A healthy skin barrier regulates oil production, protects against bacteria and prevents inflammation that triggers breakouts. When your barrier is compromised – often from harsh products – your skin overcompensates by producing more oil, which worsens congestion and slows healing. That’s why we focus on strengthening your barrier first, rather than stripping your skin with aggressive treatments that create a damaging cycle.
Which treatment is most suitable for my acne concerns?
The most suitable treatment depends on what’s driving your breakouts and where your skin is right now. If your barrier is compromised or your skin is reactive, we typically start with gentle, clarifying facials that address congestion without triggering more inflammation. Once your skin is stronger and more balanced, we can introduce deeper treatments like chemical peels to target stubborn breakouts, control oil and prevent future flare-ups.
Can you treat pigmentation caused by acne?
For post-acne marks or redness, advanced treatments such as Stellar M22 XPL can fade discolouration and pigmentation caused by acne. During your consultation, our team will assess your skin’s current state and create a plan that addresses your specific concerns.
