Lamelle Skin Essence Clear

Lamelle Skin Essence Clear is a lightweight, water-based essence designed for oily, combination and acne-prone complexions. It combines probiotic-derived actives with gentle exfoliants and sebum-regulating ingredients to help improve texture and reduce shine without added fragrance, suitable for sensitive skin types that tolerate salicylates.

What it is

How to use

• AM: Cleanse, apply a few drops of the essence by patting into slightly damp skin, follow with a lightweight moisturiser and finish with your daily SPF.
• PM: Cleanse, apply essence, then layer a moisturiser or targeted serum as needed.
• Use morning and evening. If you are new to exfoliating acids, start with once daily or every other day and increase as tolerated.

Why it works

• Bifida ferment lysate: supports the skin’s natural microbiome and strengthens the barrier to improve resilience.
• Alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs): gently loosen dead surface cells to brighten and smooth texture.
• Salicylic acid (BHA): helps clear pore build-up and reduce surface congestion.
• Zinc PCA: helps regulate sebum production and create a less shiny finish.
• Panthenol: soothes irritation and supports hydration without heavy residue.

What to expect

• Initial improvement in surface texture and reduced shine may be noticeable within 2–4 weeks of consistent use.
• Congestion and the appearance of breakouts can take several weeks to settle as the skin’s balance improves.
• Results vary by individual; continue use as part of a routine for best outcomes.

Good to know

• Patch test on the jawline before regular use.
• Avoid contact with the eye area; rinse with water if product gets in the eyes.
• If you have a known sensitivity to salicylates or strong exfoliants, consult a clinician before use.
• If irritation or persistent redness occurs, stop use and seek advice from a healthcare professional.
• If pregnant or breastfeeding, consult your healthcare provider prior to introducing products with active exfoliants.
