Korean Acne Barrier Reset Facial
A barrier-first approach for skin that is congested, reactive or prone to breakouts.
What it is
Designed specifically for skin that is congested, reactive or prone to breakouts, the Korean Acne Barrier Reset Facial takes a targeted, barrier-first approach to clearing and rebalancing the skin.
Rather than stripping or aggressively targeting blemishes, this treatment works with your skin’s natural defences, gently resetting the skin barrier, reducing inflammation and supporting long-term clarity. Ideal for those who have tried harsh approaches without lasting results.
A great deal of persistent breakout is barrier damage wearing a different name. Skin that has been stripped repeatedly overproduces oil, inflames easily and stays congested. Repairing the barrier first is slower to feel dramatic and far more likely to hold.
What it helps with
- Breakouts and congestion
- Reactive or sensitised skin
- Redness and inflammation
- A damaged or stripped barrier
- Post-inflammatory marking
- Skin that has not responded to harsh products
What to expect
Consultation and assessment
Your skin, routine and history are reviewed honestly, including what has already been tried.
Gentle cleanse and decongest
The skin is cleansed and congestion addressed without stripping or over-treating.
Barrier repair
Calming, barrier-supporting actives are worked into the skin to reduce inflammation and rebuild resilience.
Protect
The skin is sealed and protected, with a realistic plan for what to do at home.
Good to know
- Treatment time
- 60 to 75 minutes
- Downtime
- None. Skin may look slightly pink immediately afterwards, and settles quickly.
- Course
- A standalone treatment or a course, depending on the severity of congestion and the condition of your skin barrier. Typically every 2 to 4 weeks.
- Results
- Skin looks calmer, clearer and more hydrated afterwards. Consistency is what delivers longer-term improvement.
- Price
- £189
Live pricing and availability are shown in the online booking system and confirmed at consultation.
Aftercare
Keep the routine gentle and consistent, and resist the urge to add actives back in too quickly. Daily sun protection helps post-inflammatory marks fade rather than deepen.
