Cystic acne can be one of the most frustrating and painful skin concerns to deal with. Unlike surface-level breakouts, cystic acne forms deep beneath the skin, creating inflamed, tender bumps that can take weeks to heal and often leave behind scars.

At Raw & Co, we believe that nature provides some of the most powerful tools to calm inflammation, restore balance, and support skin healing without the harsh chemicals that can further irritate sensitive, acne-prone skin. Our collection of natural skincare is designed to gently cleanse, nourish, and protect, helping you move toward clearer, healthier-looking skin.

Here’s how each step of the Raw & Co routine works to support skin healing from cystic acne:

Step 1: Cleanse — Gentle Herbal Face Wash

A good routine starts with a gentle cleanser that clears away buildup without stripping the skin’s natural barrier. Our Cleanse is infused with calming botanicals and natural oils that purify while keeping skin hydrated.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Lavender & Lavender Essential Oil : naturally antibacterial and soothing for inflamed breakouts.

• Calendula Flowers: calm irritation and speeds up the healing process.

• Roses: provide hydration and balances excess oil.

• Chamomile Flowers: reduces redness and sensitivity.

• Organic Sunflower & Coconut Oil Derivatives: cleanses gently without harsh chemicals.

• Organic Glycerin: adds hydration, keeping skin supple.

 Cleanse deeply, soothe irritation, and prepare your skin for the next step.

Step 2: Tone — Balance & Calm

After cleansing, it’s important to refresh and rebalance the skin. Our Tone harnesses the power of natural herbs and botanicals to reduce inflammation, control oil, tighten pores, brighten complexion, and calm stressed skin.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Witch Hazel: tightens pores and helps fight acne-causing bacteria.

• Roses: hydrate and calm redness.

• Lavender & Chamomile Flowers: soothe irritated, sensitive skin.

• Calendula Flowers: support faster recovery.

• Aloe Vera: cools, hydrates, and strengthens the skin barrier.

Tone refreshes the complexion, balances oil, and sets the stage for deeper nourishment.

Step 3: Renew — Repair & Restore

Cystic acne often leaves skin feeling inflamed, damaged, or scarred. Our Renew serum delivers lightweight oils and restorative botanicals that nourish and repair without clogging pores.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Almond, Argan & Jojoba Oils: hydrates and restores balance without heaviness.

• Calendula & Chamomile Flowers: reduces redness and irritation.

• Lavender Flowers: antibacterial and calming for active breakouts.

• Carrot Seed Oil: supports skin regeneration and helps fade post-acne marks.

• Frankincense & Neroli: evens skin tone and reduce scarring.

• Vitamin E: strengthens the skin barrier with antioxidant protection.

Renew restores calm, supports healing, and strengthens the skin against future breakouts.

 Step 4: Prime — Collagen-Boosting Serum with Glow-Aging Technology

Healing doesn’t stop once acne clears — repairing and rebuilding the skin is key to a smooth, radiant complexion. Our Prime serum is packed with powerful, collagen-boosting ingredients to protect, plump, and revitalize.

Key Ingredients & Benefits:

• Topical Collagen: restores skin structure and suppleness.

• Green Tea: fights inflammation and supports elasticity.

• Horsetail & Nettles: rich in silica, a vital nutrient for collagen production.

• Rosemary: protects against damage and reduces collagen breakdown.

• DMAE: tightens and firms the skin.
