Bright Star is a functional oil-based acne balm cleanser developed for skin that is prone to congestion and breakouts, yet easily disrupted by aggressive cleansing. Many acne-focused cleansers prioritise oil removal at the expense of barrier health, often leading to dryness, irritation, and rebound sebum production.
This formulation takes a different approach. By combining skin-compatible oils with niacinamide and rice starch powder, Bright Star is designed to dissolve makeup, excess sebum, and pore-clogging debris while maintaining moisture balance and skin comfort. Cleansing efficacy is achieved without the tightness or irritation commonly associated with detergent-based foaming cleansers.
Niacinamide is included to support barrier integrity, help modulate excess oil, and calm visible redness, while rice starch powder provides gentle absorptive and soothing properties that assist in refining the skin’s surface. A carefully selected blend of essential oils contributes sensory balance and antimicrobial support, without overwhelming compromised skin.
The result is a cleanser suitable for acne-prone skin that also requires care — leaving skin feeling clean, balanced, and comfortable rather than stripped or reactive.
Cleansing acne-prone skin requires a balance between effective removal of sebum, debris, and impurities, and preservation of the skin barrier that regulates hydration and inflammation. Disruption of this balance can exacerbate irritation, dryness, and compensatory oil production.
Bright Star was formulated and assessed with five core considerations: cleansing efficacy, skin tolerability, user experience, comedogenic potential, and formulation stability. The oily balm format allows for efficient solubilisation of makeup and sebum, while minimising friction and barrier disruption during cleansing.
Niacinamide was selected for its documented role in supporting barrier function, calming visible inflammation, and helping regulate excess oil, making it particularly relevant for acne-prone yet sensitised skin. Rice starch powder contributes gentle absorptive and soothing properties, assisting in surface refinement without the abrasive effects of traditional exfoliants.
The overall formulation is designed to be non-occlusive, well-tolerated, and stable, supporting regular use without contributing to congestion. Rather than aggressively targeting acne, the approach focuses on creating conditions that allow skin to rebalance and function more coherently over time.
Warm a small amount between the palms until the balm softens. Gently massage onto dry skin using the fingertips, allowing makeup, excess oil, and daily impurities to dissolve.
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry. Skin is left feeling clean, comfortable, and balanced — without tightness or disruption.
Suitable for all skin types, including acne-prone and irritated skin.
