Olivia Clear Skin Herbal Face Wash for Acne Control

• Multi-herb formula targets acne through three simultaneous biological pathways: bacterial reduction, sebum control, and inflammation management
• Neem (nimbidin, nimbidol) provides proven antibacterial and antifungal action against both typical acne bacteria and fungal acne
• Tulsi (ursolic acid, eugenol) provides adaptogenic anti-inflammatory action — particularly effective for stress-triggered acne
• Clove (eugenol) provides broad-spectrum antimicrobial action — one of the most potent natural antimicrobials identified
• Controls sebum production at the scalp and pore level to reduce acne frequency over time
• Gentle enough for twice-daily use without barrier disruption or compensatory oil surge
• No purging phase — unlike AHA/BHA products, herbal antibacterials do not cause an initial breakout worsening
• 38+ years of Olivia Beauty's trusted Indian herbal formulation
• Free from sulphates, parabens, and artificial antibacterial chemicals

• Step 1 — Wet face with lukewarm water.
• Step 2 — Take a coin-sized amount of face wash on your palm.
• Step 3 — Apply to face and massage in gentle circular motions for 60 seconds. Allow the herbal actives sufficient contact time with the skin.
• Step 4 — Rinse well. Ensure all product is removed from hairline, jaw, and neck.
• Step 5 — Pat dry. Follow immediately with an oil-free, non-comedogenic moisturiser — skipping moisturiser is a common mistake that worsens acne by triggering compensatory sebum overproduction.
  
  Morning use: Controls the overnight sebum and bacterial buildup that develops during sleep.
  
  Evening use: Removes daily pollution, SPF residue, sweat, and makeup — all of which can contribute to pore congestion if left on overnight.
  
  For comprehensive acne management: Follow this face wash with the Olivia Clear Boost Tea Tree and Rosemary Serum as a leave-on treatment between washes.

Full Ingredient List:
Aqua, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Azadirachta Indica (Neem) Leaf Extract, Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi/Holy Basil) Leaf Extract, Syzygium Aromaticum (Clove) Bud Extract, Glycerin, Allantoin, Panthenol, Citric Acid, Sodium Benzoate.

Key Ingredient Breakdown:

• Azadirachta Indica (Neem) Leaf Extract: The most comprehensively researched antibacterial botanical in Ayurvedic dermatology. Active compounds:
  - Nimbidin: The primary antibacterial active. Demonstrated efficacy against Propionibacterium acnes (C. acnes) — the bacterium that converts blocked pores into inflamed pimples — and Staphylococcus epidermidis, which contributes to secondary skin infections. Studies show activity levels comparable to low-concentration antibiotics at cosmetic concentrations.
  - Nimbidol: Antifungal active particularly effective against Malassezia species — the fungus responsible for fungal acne (Pityrosporum folliculitis), which is commonly misdiagnosed as bacterial acne and fails to respond to standard antibacterial treatments.
  - Nimbolide: Anti-inflammatory compound that reduces the prostaglandin-mediated inflammation of active acne lesions.
  
• Ocimum Sanctum (Tulsi/Holy Basil) Leaf Extract: Sacred in Indian culture and increasingly validated in cosmetic science. Key actives:
  - Ursolic Acid: A pentacyclic triterpenoid with dual antibacterial and anti-inflammatory activity. Inhibits C. acnes growth and reduces the inflammatory lesion count.
  - Eugenol (shared with clove): Provides antimicrobial action and modulates the arachidonic acid pathway to reduce skin inflammation.
  - Adaptogenic Action: Tulsi is classified as an adaptogen in Ayurveda — it helps the body modulate its response to stress. Stress triggers cortisol-driven sebum production and acne flares. Tulsi's adaptogenic actives may help moderate this stress-acne connection at the skin level.
  
• Syzygium Aromaticum (Clove) Bud Extract: Eugenol (85–95% of clove essential oil) is one of the most potent natural antimicrobials identified in any botanical source. Broad-spectrum activity against bacteria and fungi, including multiple C. acnes strains, S. aureus, and Malassezia.
