Description
Break Free is a line against acne and pimples that addresses the causes of pimples, reduces pore size and combats pollution.
This skin care for acne-prone skin contains natural ingredients such as Alpine Willowherb, Niacinamide, Salicylic Acid and Bakuchiol to boost exfoliation and help protect against pimples and breakouts.
All products in the range are made as remedies for blemished skin.
When looking for a serum on its own or to boost a moisturiser, you want it to contain a concentrated amount of active ingredients that make a noticeable difference.
That's why we created this gel serum for combination skin. It is packed with actives to reduce the signs of pimples and breakouts (Bakuchiol, a natural bio-retinol and 4% niacinamide), while also brightening clogged pores and stimulating exfoliation (1% salicylic acid from willow bark).
- Powerful combination of 3 anti-inflammatory ingredients.
- Formula does not cause irritation and redness or dry skin.
- Light gel penetrates easily into the skin and can be worn under make-up.

About Adaptology
Adaptology works with the root causes of skin problems to restore balance and prevent skin problems even before they appear.
Adaptology treats the skin inflammation that underlies so many skin problems such as redness, pimples, dryness and wrinkles.
It's like taking supplements, for skin: a long-term solution, not a quick fix.
Active Ingredients:
NIACINAMIDE
Niacinamide needs your skin to make various enzymes (NAD+ and NADP) that are used in reactions that repair damage, make new cells and function in a healthy way. We get niacin from vitamin B-rich foods - such as tuna, peanuts and avocado - but the body does not store it, so we need fresh supplies every day. Niacinamide provides natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant protection. When applied to the skin, it can also increase the production of ceramides - the lipids that form the skin's protective barrier. Being a building block of healthy skin, Niacin has claimed benefits for clearing blemishes, minimising enlarged pores, smoothing wrinkles, improving uneven complexion and reducing dullness. All signs that your skin has exactly what it needs to find its own natural healthy balance.
The results? 4% Niacinamide further increases spot removal; AGE: Niacinamide reduces the appearance of wrinkles by 51%.
SALICYLIC ACID
Salicylic acid improves skin cell turnover, giving an overall improvement in skin smoothness, which also results in a reduction of fine lines and wrinkles. It is clinically proven to possess antimicrobial properties and stimulate cell renewal (24% versus 22% for synthetic salicylic acid). Salicylic acid from willow bark has also been found to be non-irritant compared to synthetic salicylic acid.
BAKUCHIOL
Skin ageing can be caused by UV light ('photo ageing'). High-altitude flowers can help. Bakuchiol is extracted from Babchi seeds - a hardy purple flower native to the Himalayas, where the air is thin and UV rays strong. Babchi developed self-protecting antioxidants to adapt and thrive in these conditions and has been used in Chinese medicine for millennia.
Bakuchiol offers a skin-friendly rival to retinol that avoids irritating sensitive skin. It helps reduce the appearance of pimples while improving multiple signs of ageing, including wrinkles and skin redness. Results: In clinical trials, improved wrinkle depth, fine lines, pigmentation, elasticity and firmness.
Usage:
- Apply one pump of this niacinamide serum to cleansed and toned skin to improve visible pores.
- Massage into your face and along your neck, and don't forget your décolleté.
- Follow up with the Break Free Moisturiser

Packaging
We use Miron Glass to preserve the quality and potency of the biocorrective ingredients in the Adaptology range.
Miron glass is very dark purple and this means it blocks all visible light, except UVA and infrared, from entering the bottle and affecting the natural product inside.
In nature, sunlight is essential for plants to grow, but it also plays a role in accelerating the molecular decay process once a plant has reached maturity.
The same acceleration decay applies to natural skin care products that are not protected by Miron glass.
