Designed for oily, acne prone and congested complexions, the Acne Regulator Facial focuses on careful cleansing, surface exfoliation, oil balance and hydration while respecting the skin barrier.
The Acne Regulator Facial is a cosmetic treatment intended to improve the appearance of oiliness, surface congestion and blemish prone skin. Arneta adapts the appointment according to how inflamed, sensitive or dehydrated the skin feels rather than assuming that every oily complexion needs strong exfoliation.
Over cleansing and repeated use of drying products can leave the skin uncomfortable while failing to address the reason breakouts persist. This facial places equal importance on clarity and barrier support, using professional products selected after a consultation.
The treatment is not a cure for acne and does not replace medical care. Painful nodules, cysts, scarring, sudden adult acne or acne associated with other symptoms should be discussed with a GP, pharmacist or dermatologist.
This treatment is intended for cosmetic management of suitable oily or acne prone skin. Active cysts, open lesions, infection or significant inflammation may make a gentler plan or medical review more appropriate.
It may suit adults with oily, combination or acne prone skin who experience mild congestion, frequent small blemishes or uncertainty about how to balance exfoliation with hydration. It is particularly useful when the goal is a professional reset rather than an aggressive peel.
The facial may not be appropriate during a severe acne flare, active skin infection, open lesions, a cold sore outbreak, significant dermatitis, recent sunburn or while the skin is reacting to prescription treatment. Tell the clinic about isotretinoin, topical retinoids, antibiotics and any dermatologist led plan.
The central question is not simply whether blemishes are present, but whether the skin is congested, excessively oily, sensitised by active products or showing signs that need medical assessment.
The treatment can help remove surface build up and leave oily skin feeling cleaner without promising to permanently change oil production.
Appropriate exfoliation may improve the appearance of blocked pores and roughness when the skin is not actively inflamed.
A consistent professional and home care plan may support skin that is prone to recurring minor breakouts.
Oiliness and dehydration can exist together. Arneta considers whether harsh cleansing or strong actives are contributing to tightness and rebound oil.
A calm, gradual plan can support a more even looking complexion, although persistent pigmentation may need a different treatment approach.
The appointment can help simplify routines containing multiple acids, scrubs and spot treatments that may be irritating the skin.
Arneta treats acne prone skin conservatively. The sequence is designed to reduce avoidable friction, support cleanliness and help the client understand which parts of the home routine may be aggravating oiliness or irritation.
Arneta reviews the type of breakouts, current products, medicines, menstrual or lifestyle patterns and any history of sensitivity.
Oil, make up and daily residue are removed without unnecessary scrubbing.
A suitable professional exfoliating step may be used to address surface build up, depending on the condition of the skin.
Areas of visible blockage are treated conservatively. Aggressive squeezing is avoided because it can increase inflammation and marks.
Products are selected to support comfort and hydration without leaving the skin feeling heavy.
Arneta explains how to cleanse, moisturise and introduce active products in a more organised way.
At It’s Me & You Clinic, the doctor led environment supports a clear distinction between cosmetic facial care and medical acne treatment. Arneta works within her skincare qualifications and does not present a facial as a substitute for diagnosis.
If there is pain, rapid worsening, widespread inflammation, scarring or uncertainty about the condition, the appointment can be paused and the client directed towards appropriate medical assessment.
The facial may improve the appearance of oiliness and congestion, but it does not cure acne and should not be used to delay medical care for painful, scarring or persistent disease.
The skin may look cleaner and feel smoother after the appointment, but blemish prone skin usually benefits more from a consistent routine than from one intensive session. Arneta will help you identify whether the next step should be another facial, a chemical peel, a medical review or a period of simpler home care.
Because acne has several possible drivers, no facial can promise complete clearance. The page is designed to help clients choose professional cosmetic care responsibly while recognising when medical treatment is more appropriate.
Arneta has more than six years of skincare experience and two years working in a professional clinic, with a particular interest in helping clients understand acne, oiliness and product overload.
Her Dental Nursing and VTCT Level 2 Beauty Therapy background is complemented by advanced skincare and facial massage training, as well as certification in microneedling and chemical peels.
For acne prone skin, her approach is personalised and cautious. The goal is to support clarity and confidence while avoiding promises that a cosmetic facial can replace medical acne care.

No. It is a cosmetic facial for oiliness and congestion. Acne can be a medical condition and may require treatment from a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist.
Mild blemishes may be treated cautiously, but painful, infected, open or intensely inflamed acne may mean the appointment should be postponed or redirected for medical advice.
Congestion may be addressed conservatively when appropriate. Aggressive extraction is avoided because it can worsen inflammation and increase the risk of marks.
The facial may leave the surface feeling cleaner and more balanced, but it cannot permanently alter sebaceous gland activity.
Suitability, consent and clinic policy need to be confirmed directly with the clinic. Medical acne in younger clients should be appropriately assessed.
Tell Arneta about all retinoids and prescription products. You may be advised to pause potentially irritating actives, but the timing must be personalised.
It may improve surface freshness but does not remodel established scars. Microneedling or another procedure may be discussed once active acne is controlled and the skin is suitable.
No course can be prescribed without assessment. The number and spacing of sessions depend on your skin, routine and response.
Painful, scarring, sudden or persistent acne should be discussed with a pharmacist, GP or dermatologist rather than managed only with facials.
