Breaking the Stigma Around Adult Acne
When we think of acne, adolescent years often spring to mind—but adult acne is far more common than many realise. In fact, over 94% of the global population experiences acne at some point, cutting across age, gender, and ethnicity. While approximately 85% of teens aged 12–14 develop acne, the condition frequently persists into adulthood, influenced by factors such as diet, stress, hormonal shifts, medication, and lifestyle habits.
Beyond being a skin concern, acne exerts a real, often overlooked psychological toll. Physical discomfort can be compounded by social stigma, leading to heightened feelings of anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and even isolation. The path to healing acne isn’t just topical—it’s also emotional. By contributing to routines that normalise and support skin experiences, we can dissolve stigma and nurture confidence.
ChitoCare: Nature’s Science at Your Side
In recent years, consumer expectations have evolved. People now seek skincare that’s innovative yet simple—products that blend naturally derived ingredients, multifunctional benefits, and uncomplicated routines. This shift underscores the importance of post-acne care: it’s not only about treating breakouts but also about healing, restoring, and streamlining confidence in one’s complexion.
ChitoCare Beauty: Everyday Nourishment for Sensitive Skin
ChitoCare beauty harnesses marine-derived chitosan, a unique biopolymer extracted from the Arctic waters surrounding Iceland. Chitosan is celebrated for its ability to form a breathable, protective film over the skin, locking in hydration while keeping irritants out. Chitosan supports the skin’s natural repair process, delivers antioxidant defence, and calms redness and inflammation—attributes that make it well-suited for skin prone to acne, sensitivity, or irritation.
One standout product is our versatile Face Cream for day and night, which not only deeply hydrates but also delivers SPF 15 protection, plus antioxidants and protective film-forming properties. It’s explicitly formulated for all skin types—including those dealing with acne, rosacea, eczema, or psoriasis.
In clinical settings, pairing the Anti-Aging Repair Serum with the Face Cream for six weeks led to tangible improvements: skin hydration increased by 16%, firmness by 22%, elasticity by 7%, and roughness decreased by 19%. These results show that chitosan-based routines can be both gentle and effective.
