The Sofía Suescun case: How she managed to improve her acne in just 12 days
If you have acne-prone skin, you probably know the feeling.
Your skin is more or less fine… and suddenly that unexpected breakout appears.
Inflamed pimples, uneven texture, redness… and exactly when you need it least.
Something similar happened to Sofía Suescun.
A while ago, while traveling in Thailand, she began to notice that her skin wasn't as usual. Pimples started to appear and, as she herself shared on her social media, she became quite overwhelmed.
And it's normal. Acne doesn't just affect the skin: it can also affect how we feel.
That's when she decided to write to us.
“I wrote to them right away…”
In her stories, Sofía recounted it like this:
“All stressed about my pimples, I quickly wrote to the girls at Elisabeth Álvarez, who are cosmetic experts. They reassured me a lot and the next day urgently sent me a pack of products to apply one by one, to be super consistent, and say bye-bye to pimples.”
The pack she received was our Best Sellers pack, a simple three-step routine designed for blemish-prone skin:
1. Purifying Cleansing Gel
2. Purifying Toner
3. Skin Correct Serum
The key: consistency and well-formulated active ingredients.
The routine that helped improve her skin
The first step is always to thoroughly cleanse the skin.
This gel removes dirt, oil, and impurities without drying, which is essential for acne-prone skin.
Its formula with oat, chamomile, and glycolic acid helps to:
• cleanse pores
• soothe skin
• regulate excess oil
• prevent the accumulation of impurities
Because often the problem isn't just the pimple, but everything that accumulates inside the pore.
After cleansing, one of our most viral products comes into play.
The Purifying Toner helps keep pores clean and balance the skin without irritating it.
Thanks to active ingredients like:
• Niacinamide
• Lactic acid
• Malic acid
• Burdock extract
• Zinc and vitamin A
This step helps to:
✔ regulate oil
✔ reduce imperfections
✔ improve skin texture
✔ even out skin tone
And all of this while respecting the skin barrier.
3. Skin Correct Serum
The last step in the routine is Skin Correct, the serum that has become one of the most sought-after products for blemish-prone skin.
In fact, it has been awarded as best cosmetic of 2025 for its effectiveness on acne-prone skin.
The reason?
A combination of active ingredients very difficult to find in a single product.
Among them:
• Salicylic acid – deeply cleanses pores
• Glycolic acid – renews skin and improves texture
• Niacinamide – calms redness and reduces inflammation
• Vitamin A and Zinc – regulate oil and prevent marks
• Hyaluronic acid – hydrates without adding oil
The result is a serum that not only treats pimples.
It also:
✔ improves texture
✔ reduces post-acne marks
✔ decreases pore size
✔ hydrates without greasiness
Perfect skin doesn't exist (but balanced skin does)
Acne is something that many people experience at some point in their lives.
Hormonal changes, stress, travel, climate changes, makeup…
There are many factors that can trigger it.
The important thing is to understand that skin can recover when we use the right products and are consistent.
As Sofía said:
“Said and done. Bye-bye pimples.”
