The Best Facial Treatment for Adult Cystic Acne

Dealing with adult cystic acne can feel like an uphill battle. Unlike surface-level breakouts, cystic acne lives deep beneath the skin’s surface, making it painful, persistent, and difficult to treat with over-the-counter scrubs.

At Nurtur Salon + Spa, we specialize in high-performance, plant-powered treatments that target the root causes of congestion without compromising your skin’s delicate barrier.

The Winner: Ultraceuticals Mattify & Clear (Mandelic Peel)
When it comes to the deep-seated inflammation of cystic acne, the Ultra Mandelic Clarity Peel is our professional gold standard.

While many acne treatments can be drying or aggressive, Mandelic Acid (derived from bitter almonds) is a larger molecule that penetrates the skin more slowly. This makes it ideal for adult skin that needs to clear congestion while maintaining hydration.

Deep Pore Detox: Mandelic acid is lipophilic (oil-seeking), meaning it dives deep into the follicles to dissolve the plugs that lead to cysts.

Antibacterial Action: It naturally inhibits the bacteria responsible for acne flare-ups.

Post-Inflammatory Pigmentation: It helps fade the stubborn dark spots (hyperpigmentation) that cystic acne often leaves behind.

The Holistic Alternative: Aveda Tulasāra™ Acne Treatment
For those seeking a more balanced, Ayurvedic approach, our Customized Tulasāra™ Facial is designed to bring the skin back to center.

Customized Actives: Your Esthetician will utilize the Aveda Outer Peace™ professional line, featuring wintergreen-derived salicylic acid to unclog pores and calm redness.

High Frequency Add-On: We often recommend adding a High Frequency treatment to your facial. This uses a gentle electrical current to create enriched oxygen (ozone), which kills acne-causing bacteria deep inside the cyst and speeds up the healing process.

Why Nurtur for Your Acne Journey?
​​​​​​​Cystic acne is often tied to hormones, stress, and environmental factors. Our specialists don't just treat the spot; we look at the whole picture. Every facial at Nurtur includes a thorough skin analysis and a customized home-care plan to ensure your results last long after you leave the spa.

Stop the cycle of breakouts and start your path to clarity.
