Here's what one of our customers recently wrote:
"I’ve been having some light breakouts on my chin and cheeks lately because of stress (I assume). A friend recommended that I spray this on after washing my face, letting it sit for 2 minutes, and then applying moisturiser on afterwards. I also spray it on my face straight after training just to mitigate the bacteria on my face before I’m able to shower. I saw a huge difference within 2 days. I would highly recommend for light acne treatment!"

Why Skin Breaks Out
Your skin is dealing with a lot of changes. Hormones can cause more oil to build up, trapping dead skin cells and bacteria in your pores. This leads to redness and spots.
The Problem with "Stripping" Your Skin
A lot of teen skincare products are made to dry out oil. This might seem helpful at first, but it often leads to other problems:
- Damages your skin’s barrier, which can make it red and flaky.
- Triggers more oil, because your skin tries to make up for the dryness by producing extra oil.
- Causes irritation, making breakouts look even more red and inflamed.
A Simple, 3-Step Supportive Routine
Rather than being harsh with your skin, focus on supporting it. Here’s a simple daily routine with Silverlab products to help keep your skin clean and calm:
Step 1: Cleanse and Prep (The Healing Spray)
Wash your face with a gentle, soap-free cleanser, then spray Silverlab Healing Spray over your skin.
- This helps keep your skin clean and can also be used as an oral rinse, which is helpful for bacteria that move from your mouth to your skin. It won’t sting or dry out your face.
Step 2: Target the Spots (The Healing Gel)
If you have an active breakout or a pimple under the skin, put Silverlab Healing Gel right on the spot.
- The Benefit: Clinical tests show that Silverlab’s ionic silver works quickly against bacteria - even low concentrations act within 30 to 60 seconds in the lab. It helps with acne spots and cold sores, and cools your skin right away.
Step 3: Protect and Recover (The Healing Cream or Skin Rescue)
If your skin feels dry, itchy, or irritated from other treatments, try using our Healing Cream.
- These products help protect your skin’s barrier. Our Healing Cream is a gentle daily moisturiser designed for sensitive skin.
