From Inflammation to Healing
Client: Female, early 30s
Concerns: Hormonal breakouts, redness, sensitivity, and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation
In-Clinic Treatment: Microneedling with SAPEDA Vitamin C Infusion at Beauty Essence
At-Home Protocol: A SAPEDA-exclusive skincare routine focused on barrier repair, hydration, and inflammation reduction using science-backed, Ayurvedic-rooted formulas.
Before
When this client first came to us at Beauty Essence, her skin was visibly inflamed with clusters of active breakouts, redness, and early signs of post-acne scarring. She shared how long she had been battling with breakouts—trying everything from harsh cleansers to over-the-counter spot treatments with little success. Her skin felt stripped, tight, and reactive.
The SAPEDA Approach
We began by calming inflammation and supporting the skin barrier — the foundation for any real and lasting improvement. Before starting in-clinic treatments, the focus was on hydration, repair, and reducing reactivity, using only SAPEDA’s science-backed, barrier-friendly formulations.
Routine
Morning:
- SAPEDA Purifying Salicylic Acid 2% Cleanser
Used 2–3 times per week to gently clear clogged pores without stripping. - SAPEDA Recovery Hydrating Serum
Delivers light, layered hydration to soothe irritation and improve barrier function. - Anti-Aging Serum Vitamin C 20%:
Formulated with stabilized 3-O Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate, this serum helps fade dark spots - SAPEDA Anti-Aging Day Cream SPF 50
Broad-spectrum sun protection that hydrates and shields healing skin from further pigmentation and inflammation.
Evening:
- SAPEDA Recovery Hydrating Treatment
Used after cleansing to deeply hydrate and calm inflamed areas. - SAPEDA Recovery Antioxidant Face Oil
Rich in calming botanicals and Amazonian oils to nourish, reduce redness, and support overnight repair. - Note: On breakout-prone nights, she alternated with the Purifying Cleanser as a second cleanse to keep congestion under control.
In-Salon Treatment
After two weeks of skin calming and hydration, we introduced Microneedling with Vitamin C infusion — a deeply effective yet skin-respecting approach to:
- Fade post-inflammatory pigmentation
- Stimulate collagen production to improve texture and reduce scarring
- Enhance product absorption for longer-lasting results
We spaced the microneedling treatments 4 weeks apart, allowing the skin to regenerate fully between sessions. Her routine was continuously adjusted based on how her skin responded.
After
The second image shows the skin after 6 microneedling sessions combined with consistent SAPEDA skincare. The redness has visibly diminished, breakouts are under control, and her skin texture is noticeably smoother. Most importantly, her confidence has returned.
“This is the first time I feel like I’m working with my skin, not against it,” she told us.
Why It Worked
SAPEDA’s method works because it focuses on restoring skin health, not just quick fixes. By respecting the skin’s healing process and layering in professional treatments at the right time, we supported both short-term clarity and long-term resilience.
