Founder Jamika Martin is on a mission to overhaul the category, with natural ingredients, gentler formulations and a focus on erasing the guilt and shame so often associated with breakouts.

But can we ever stop caring what our skin looks like?

Because body breakouts can be just as relentless as facial acne.

Founded by a former beauty editor, the single-SKU line wants to make people rethink existing stigmas around breakouts.

Magic! (Er, science!)

The ingredient has clarifying superpowers.

They'll render your concealer all but obsolete.

Finally: a non-irritating, non-drying way to deal with pimples.

There's no one-size-fits-all way to correct them.

Feel like you're in a comfy cocoon at all times.
