Acne Defence Overnight Jelly

Acne Defence Overnight Jelly is the last step of a night routine, and it earns that position by doing something none of the earlier steps can: it seals them in.

Its ingredients penetrate more deeply as you sleep, and the jelly works as both a barrier and a sealant. As a barrier, a light coating prevents dirt and dust from closing in on your pores through the night. As a sealant, it locks in your other active products so all their goodness works effectively instead of evaporating away — which is what happens to most leave-on treatments a few hours into sleep.

It is also treating acne directly. It controls the excessive production of oil that causes pimples and breakouts, and it improves the appearance of pores while helping maintain clear-looking skin. Peppermint, Rosemary and Tea Tree carry it — peppermint for its cooling clarity, rosemary for balance, tea tree for its antibacterial work.

What people notice first is the morning. After washing your face it gives an instant calm texture and a soothing effect, and it keeps the skin matte and dewy — the combination oily skin usually has to choose between.
