PROPER CARE FOR IMPURE SKIN: THE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IN BRIEF
-
What is impure skin?
Pimples, blackheads, or even acne occur more often than we'd like. Unexpectedly and repeatedly, the symptoms of impure skin appear on the skin's surface. They are not only an aesthetic nuisance on our face but also cause an unpleasant skin sensation. Impurities arise when your skin is out of balance and the glands in the subcutaneous layer produce more sebum than necessary. At the same time, increased keratinization occurs, which leads to your sebaceous glands becoming clogged. -
How do you care for impure skin?
A thorough facial cleansing in the morning and evening is indispensable. Dirt, sebum, and makeup accumulate throughout the day and must therefore be carefully removed before going to bed so that they do not penetrate the pores overnight. Cleansing in the morning is also essential, as sweat, sebum, and dirt accumulate on your skin surface overnight. -
Which products are suitable for the care of impure skin?
For the care of impure skin, you should generally use gentle and mild products that have an anti-inflammatory and inflammation-inhibiting effect on your skin. Active ingredients such as niacinamide (vitamin B3) and salicylic acid are particularly effective in treating impure skin. Care products containing pantothenic acid (vitamin B5) are also helpful, as they can regulate sebum production and refine the size of your pores.
IMPURE SKIN: CHARACTERISTICS & CAUSES
Impurities on the skin are visible disturbances on the face and often make things difficult for those affected. However, the manifestations of impure skin can be effectively treated with the right products and a consistent care routine. The symptoms do not disappear overnight, but with a little patience and the use of effective active ingredients, you can bring your skin into balance permanently.
CHARACTERISTICS OF IMPURE SKIN
To tailor your skincare ideally to your needs, you should know the characteristics and causes of impure skin. The following overview will help you with that:
- enlarged pores
- Pimples, blackheads
- Acne
- Inflammations
CAUSES OF IMPURE SKIN
Having impure skin is not a coincidence. The reasons for it can be quite varied:
- Assessment/Illness
- lifestyle
- Hormonal factors
- drug
The healthy appearance of your skin can be significantly influenced by various factors. Skin blemishes usually appear unexpectedly and are only treated after they have surfaced on the skin. The best way to combat skin blemishes is to address them before they develop by taking enough time for your skincare routine and considering the various factors that largely determine impure skin.

SUITABLE CLEANSING PRODUCTS FOR IMPURE SKIN
To tackle impure skin, thorough cleansing is essential. Your cleansing routine should take place in the morning and evening to properly prevent clogged pores.
Dirt and sebum accumulated during the day or at night should be carefully removed so that the active ingredients of the skincare products used afterward can work ideally. Choose gentle and mild cleansing products with effective active ingredients and dosages that can actually heal impure skin. Avoid aggressive products for optimal facial cleansing.
CLEAN
CLEAN is a gentle cleansing gel with anti-inflammatory and pore-refining effects. The included TECMi!® Vitamin B5 helps you to free yourself from sebum and dirt, regulate fatty acids, and reduce your skin's sebum production. Thanks to the TECMi!® encapsulation technology, the active ingredient reaches the deeper layers of the skin and can thus accelerate wound healing on the skin surface.
TONE.S
TONE.S is a toner with salicylic acid that is ideal for cleansing oily and impure skin. The included TECMi!®-BHA enables deep cleansing and has anti-inflammatory and repairing effects on your skin. Additionally, it contains AHA fruit acids that remove dead skin flakes and promote an even complexion.
Important: Make sure that TONE.S is fully absorbed, as only then can the contained salicylic acid and other active ingredients develop their full effect. Do not wash off after use!
PEEL
PEEL is a cleansing and natural product. The peeling refines your skin texture, gently removes dead skin flakes, and reduces sebum production. The peeling particles are 100% natural in origin, made from crushed cherry pit shells, and have an anti-inflammatory effect on your skin. The particles are ground so finely that they do not cause any damage to the skin. PEEL is so gentle that it is suitable for daily use. Nothing stands in the way of a healthy and smooth skin surface.
SUITABLE CARE PRODUCTS FOR IMPURE SKIN
After thoroughly cleansing your skin in the morning and evening, a highly effective care routine is needed to regain a healthy complexion. The products DAY and RED are ideal for this. They contain superhero active ingredients that sustainably improve your skin's appearance. Say goodbye to blemishes and oily shine on your skin!
DAY
DAY is an intensive nourishing day cream with double-encapsulated TECMi!® retinol. This innovative and particularly effective form of retinol allows your skin to strengthen itself from within to the maximum and protects you from the external influences of everyday life. Thanks to the unique TECMi!® deep technology, the retinol molecules are double-encapsulated, and the active ingredient can penetrate highly concentrated into your deeper skin layers without the loss of efficacy associated with ordinary retinol. Another helpful active ingredient in DAY is ectoin, for the treatment of impure skin, as it has a soothing and anti-inflammatory effect.
Tip: The active ingredients contained in DAY prepare your skin in the best possible way for the day. Although it contains active ingredients that provide protection against UVA and UVB rays, you should also use a sun protection factor of 50+ to protect your skin optimally.
RED
RED is a night care product and a true skin superhero. It contains the unique TECMi!® retinol in a high concentration and is still well tolerated – even on irritated or sensitive skin. The reason for this is the TECMi!® technology developed by Doctor Mi!. Thanks to this innovative solution, the double-encapsulated retinol molecules can penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin without causing damage to the skin surface. Another effective active ingredient is the included vitamin B5, which helps minimize pore size and accelerates wound healing in blemished skin. Info: The use of our RED retinol face cream is actually recommended only from the age of 20, but for oily skin, it can be used earlier.

MORE CARE TIPS FOR IMPURE SKIN
Besides the daily use of skincare products that are tailored to your skin type and nourish your skin with the right ingredients, you can avoid impurities and counteract blemished skin through simple measures in everyday life.
A BALANCED DIET
A balanced and reduced-sugar diet has a positive effect on healthy skin. Try to avoid foods high in sugar, salt, and fat, as they promote sebum production. Fresh fruit with low fructose as well as various vegetables and legumes provide your skin with important nutrients that also promote overall physical well-being. The following foods are especially recommended because they are rich in vitamin A and also zinc.
- Walnuts
- linseed
- Spinach
- Broccoli
- Paprika
- Carrots
- Grapefruit
CONSISTENT SUN PROTECTION
Enlarged pores are often the result of excessive sun exposure. To refine them, you should without exception use a sun protection factor of 50+ daily and throughout the year. With adequate protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays, you can prevent the risk of UV-induced blemishes and sun-related acne marks. Applying a sun protection factor of 50+ is absolutely necessary even in winter.
Tip: Although most beauty products contain a sun protection factor, in most cases it is not strong enough to protect your skin from the harmful UVA and UVB rays.
HANDS OFF THE FACE
Avoid squeezing pimples yourself. As tempting as it may sometimes be – please don't do it. This endangers the affected pores, promotes inflammation, and over time the pores appear larger and scars can form.
EFFECTIVE CLEANING
To refine your pores, it is recommended to use a mild facial scrub. The gentle friction removes old skin flakes and frees your skin from excess sebum. With regular use of a scrub, you ensure a more even and finer-pored skin.
STEAM BATH FOR THE SKIN
Hot steam for healthy skin – alongside a thorough cleansing, an occasional steam bath can work unexpected wonders. The hot steam opens the pores and supports the natural cleansing process. Warmth and moisture make your skin especially supple. You can enrich your steam bath with essential oils to soothe inflammation and effectively prevent the formation of new blemishes.
FAQ: FREQUENT QUESTIONS ABOUT IMPURE SKIN
Below you will find answers to the most frequently asked questions about impure skin as well as proper care.
-
What should I pay attention to regarding the use of beauty products for impure skin?
To conceal blemished skin, a full-coverage makeup is naturally the first choice. However, make sure that the beauty products are non-comedogenic and oil-free, and try not to apply it too thickly. When cleansing in the evening, you should thoroughly wash off your makeup again. Don't forget: also clean your brushes regularly!
-
Why does oily skin often tend to have impurities?
The skin's sebum production basically keeps the tissue of the epidermis supple. If there is an overproduction of sebum, as is particularly the case with oily skin, the pores clog more quickly because the excess sebum cannot drain away. The increased skin oil provides an ideal breeding ground for bacteria, which leads to the formation of impurities.
-
Is the ACNE SET also suitable for impure skin?
Our ACNE SET is ideal for oily and blemished skin. The included gentle cleansing products provide your skin with essential nutrients and ensure a healthy complexion. The other care products included in the set perfectly complement your skincare routine to free your skin from unwanted impurities and increased sebum production in the long term.
-
Which products in the AKNE-SET contain retinol and why are they so effective for impure skin?
The skincare products DAY and RED, which are included in the Doctor Mi! medical skincare ACNE SET, contain the unique TECMi!® retinol. The products are so effective because the active ingredient is double-encapsulated through the TECMi!® deep technology and delivered into the deeper layers of the skin.

Thanks to the innovative encapsulation system, the upper skin layer is protected, so you can safely use our retinol products.
