Celebrity aesthetician Sofie Pavitt emphasizes the efficacy of simplifying skincare routines for acne treatment. Many clients overcomplicate their routines, yet Pavitt suggests a streamlined approach: cleanse, treat, and hydrate are the fundamental steps. Importantly, she cautions against common missteps, particularly the use of retinoids, which can irritate inflamed skin. By reducing product usage and focusing on essential skincare, clients can achieve clearer skin more effectively. Pavitt's recommendations challenge the prevalent view on skincare, underscoring the value of simplicity for better results.
The fact of the matter is that clients first come to me using way too many products in their routine. I love to pare it back when first working with someone on clearing their skin to cleanse, treat, and hydrate.
[The biggest mistake I see is] using tretinoin or retinol products on inflammatory acne. Retinols increase cell turnover, and people with acne generally have faster cell turnover than others.
