Affecting 85% of Australians aged between 15-24 years old, including 35% of females over the age of 30, acne – or acne vulgaris – is a chronic inflammatory skin disease characterised by excessive sebum production, irregular skin cell turnover, pore congestion, and redness. 

While OTC and prescription ingredients are available to treat and reduce the severity of breakouts, many of the recognised actives can irritate skin sensitivities and result in unwanted side effects including excessive dryness, scarring, photosensitivity, and hyperpigmentation. 

Extracted from the core, crown, fruit, peel, and stem of the pineapple, bromelain is a proteolytic enzyme proven to inhibit bacterial growth in opportunistic acne and reduce the swelling, pain, and redness associated with the body's production of prostaglandins. Ideal for sensitive skin types, bromelain is also documented to provide antioxidant support and gently break down keratinised bonds for a smoother, brighter, and more radiant complexion.

Formulated in the Natural Blemish Spot Remover by award-winning and natural vegan brand, Mary Grace, this bioactive is supported by a host of other botanical ingredients, including white willow bark, licorice root, tea tree oil, and lemon myrtle, to kill acne-causing bacteria, balance sebum production, dissolve dead skin cells, and treat post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and scarring.

Suitable for layering, this targeted treatment can also be combined with Mary Grace’s Skin Replenishing Miracle Serum, a niacinamide and hyaluronic acid based topical containing watermelon seed oil, moringa seed oil, and natural mica, to hydrate and repair skin, brighten the complexion, depigment, and impart an immediate ethereal glow to help filter and diffuse the appearance of existing acne lesions.

Australian made, vegan-friendly, and cruelty-free, this female owned and operated brand is available nationwide and sports numerous five-star customer reviews and industry accolades from The Beauty Shortlist, Clean + Conscious Awards, Australian Non-Toxic Awards, and SHE-com Awards.
