Reveal clearer, calmer skin by targeting stubborn breakouts, clogged pores, and post-acne marks. At Honey Skincare Studio, we combine deep-extraction facials, lasers, peels, and expert skincare guidance to transform acne-prone skin.
Target Breakouts at the Root
Acne and blemishes are signs that your skin’s natural balance is disrupted. You might notice blackheads, whiteheads, painful cysts, or red marks that don’t fade. These issues often stem from clogged pores, excess oil, bacteria, or inflammation, and can be worsened by stress, hormones, and even skincare products. At Honey Skincare Studio, we understand that every blemish has a root cause. That’s why we don’t just treat the surface: we identify the core of what’s happening beneath your skin to help restore lasting clarity.
Signs and Symptoms of Acne and Blemishes:
- Persistent blackheads or whiteheads across the T-zone or cheeks
- Painful, inflamed cysts or nodules under the skin
- Red, raised pimples that appear in clusters
- Oily skin that feels congested or greasy
- Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark spots left behind)
- Breakouts that worsen with stress, hormones, or product use
Ingredient Recommendations for Acne and Blemishes:
- Salicylic Acid for dissolving excess sebum and clearing clogged pores
- Benzoyl Peroxide for killing acne-causing bacteria and calming inflammation
- Sulfur for reducing bacteria and soothing red, irritated blemishes
- Retinoids (Retinol, Retinaldehyde) for increasing cell turnover and fading post-acne marks
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) for regulating oil production and strengthening the skin barrier
- Azelaic Acid for fading post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH)
- Alpha Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic, Lactic) for exfoliating surface buildup and improving clarity
- Zinc for minimizing redness and supporting skin repair
- Green Tea Polyphenols (EGCG) for reducing oil and calming inflamed skin
Skincare Recommendations for Acne and Blemishes:
- Clarify + Resolve for targeting acne bacteria and gently clearing pores
- Detoxify It Pads for purifying pores and controlling oil without over-drying

Your Acne/Blemishes Treatment Options
Deep Extraction Facials
Every single facial at Honey Skincare Studio includes thorough deep extractions, which help remove comedones (blackheads and whiteheads), reducing the likelihood of inflammation and future acne. Our Bee Energized Facial is a client favorite: it includes your choice of targeted laser energy, such as BBL Clear, Laser Genesis, or Skintyte, for optimal skin rejuvenation.
BBL Clear
BBL™ Clear by Sciton is a powerful broadband light treatment specifically formulated for active acne. It targets acne-causing bacteria and reduces sebaceous gland activity using light energy, thereby calming inflammation and improving clarity without damaging the skin. This 30-minute treatment is a go-to for clients who want fast, noticeable improvement in breakouts.
Chemical Peels
Chemical peels exfoliate the top layer of skin using a carefully selected blend of acids, such as salicylic, glycolic, or TCA. This helps unclog pores, reduce surface oil, dissolve dead skin cells, and improve post-acne discoloration. At Honey Skincare Studio, peels are tailored to your skin type and acne severity, promoting clearer skin while supporting cellular renewal.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
Medium-depth resurfacing lasers use focused thermal energy to heal acne-prone skin and improve the appearance of post-acne scarring and pigmentation. By creating controlled micro-injuries, these lasers stimulate collagen remodeling, speed up skin turnover, and reduce pore visibility. This is ideal for clients with lingering marks, texture issues, or chronic congestion.
MOXI
MOXI® is a non-ablative fractional laser that delivers gentle heat energy into the skin to accelerate cellular renewal. It targets uneven tone, early signs of acne scarring, and mild blemishes with minimal downtime. MOXI enhances the skin’s natural healing process while boosting collagen, making it an excellent maintenance option for acne-prone skin.
CoolPeel
CoolPeel® is a cutting-edge CO2 laser that delivers resurfacing benefits without the typical downtime of traditional CO2 lasers. It precisely targets the superficial layer of skin, reducing acne scars, refining pores, and improving tone and texture. The controlled thermal damage also stimulates new collagen, helping to repair extraction sites and strengthen overall skin integrity.
Targeted Home Care Routine
We design a custom regimen using medical‑grade, acne‑focused products to keep pores clear, reduce inflammation, and strengthen the skin barrier between visits.
Internal Health Support
When acne may be linked to diet, gut health, or systemic inflammation, we’ll guide you toward lifestyle adjustments and, if appropriate, connect you with our functional nutritionist to address internal triggers.
