I Finally Found An Ultra-Gentle Facial That Treats Acne While Soothing My Sensitive Skin
Acne facials don’t have the best rep. We’ve all heard horror stories of painful extractions, irritation and dryness after one of these harsh facials. They might fix the existing issue, but only leaves the skin more vulnerable to new breakouts. But times are changing and the beauty industry has evolved to create new-age facials! GirlStyle reader, Rachel, has found one that’s effective yet super gentle on her sensitive skin, and it’s the Cica Acne Treatment at New York Skin Solutions.

Suitable for all skin types including oily, dry and sensitive, this 50-minute, acne-targeted facial works to clear clogged pores and prevent future acne without compromising on hydration. At the same time, it also soothes inflammation and brightens the complexion.
The experience began with a detailed skin analysis with a New York Skin Solutions consultant at the Novena Square outlet. An advanced skin scanner revealed excessive oil production, a lack of collagen and sensitivity in Rachel’s skin. It could also scan deep into the inner skin dermis layer to detect blackheads and clogged pores. The consultant also discussed Rachel’s lifestyle and skincare habits, then gave personalised advice and tips for her daily skincare routine.

After that insightful consultation session, Rachel was ushered into the treatment room to start the Cica Acne Treatment. The first step was a thorough yet soothing double cleanse that left her skin feeling clean and refreshed.

Next was the antioxidant-rich Hydrogen Water that loosened dead skin cells, stimulated metabolism and combated free radicals, followed by the Renew Concentrate & Solution to gently remove dead skin.

This was followed by the Radiance Concentrate & Solution that is formulated with Glutathione and Camosine to hydrate and brighten the skin.
Finally, the in-house skincell booster was applied and penetrated into her skin using galvanic technology to further boost collagen, promote cell repair and lighten pimple marks.

Once Rachel’s skin was prepped and nourished, it was time for the pièce de résistance of the facial - the soothing mask. This star facial step kills acne-causing bacteria, balances the skin’s oil production and strengthens the skin barrier to prevent breakouts.

The pampering facial ended with an application of toner, moisturiser and sunblock. It was a thoughtful finishing touch that made it convenient for Rachel to head out to her next appointment without needing to reapply skincare.
A before and after comparison showed a stark difference in Rachel’s skin after the facial. Her skin was absolutely glowing, with less blemishes and significantly less visible pores.

Although just one session made such a dramatic improvement in Rachel’s skin, it was also oh-so gentle and she didn’t experience any dryness, rightness or redness.
