Stop guessing what your skin needs. Start a clear-skin plan with expert support.
Another breakout. Another product that promises results. If you are tired of covering your skin, changing routines, and wondering why nothing lasts, you deserve a clear plan—and someone who guides you through it. Our founder, Irina Nova, is a Certified Face Reality Acne Specialist. Her goal has always been to help clients manage acne through targeted professional treatments and consistent home care, without relying on oral antibiotics whenever possible. That search led her to Face Reality: a structured approach that brings together acne-focused skincare, professional treatments, and ongoing support. Acne is a science, and clearing it takes more than a facial. At SkinCare Lab, we look at the whole picture, explain what your skin needs, and help you build a routine you can follow with confidence.
Who This Treatment Is For
We work with clients experiencing grades I–IV acne, from blackheads and clogged pores to more inflamed, persistent breakouts. Your consultation helps us determine the right approach.
Your Acne Consultation
Your journey begins with an in-depth consultation. We assess your skin, discuss your breakout history, and review your current products, previous treatments, medications, and everyday habits that may contribute to congestion or irritation.
You will understand what to use, what to avoid, and how to care for your skin morning and evening. We explain each step so you leave with a practical plan instead of another collection of products you are unsure how to use.
How the Treatment Works
Our Clarifying Acne Facial focuses on clearing congestion while respecting your skin’s condition. Irina specializes in precise professional acne extractions, carefully addressing suitable clogged pores without aggressively squeezing inflamed lesions.
Exfoliation, extractions where appropriate, and calming care are tailored to your acne type and skin tolerance. Each visit also gives us an opportunity to review your progress and adjust your routine.
Your Three-Month Face Reality Program
For clients ready for a consistent approach, we offer a three-month Face Reality program combining professional appointments, a personalized home-care routine, and guidance between visits.
We monitor how your skin responds, make adjustments as needed, and guide you through each stage. If you have questions about a product, a new breakout, or your next step, you can contact us between appointments. You do not have to figure it out alone.
Why Home Care Matters
What you do every day is essential to your progress. Professional treatments help address existing congestion; consistent home care helps manage the conditions that allow new breakouts to develop.
Your Face Reality routine is selected for your skin and adjusted as your tolerance changes. Following it consistently—and keeping us informed about how your skin feels—helps us work toward clearer skin while protecting its barrier.
After Your Treatment
Temporary redness or tenderness can occur after extractions or exfoliation. Avoid picking, scrubbing, or adding new active products on your own. Follow your personalized instructions, use daily SPF, and contact us if you are unsure about your skin’s response.
Your Results
Our goal is fewer breakouts, less congestion, and skin you feel more comfortable showing. The three-month program gives us a structured period to build your routine, monitor progress, and make meaningful adjustments. Some clients need longer, especially with persistent or more severe acne.
Once your skin improves, we help you maintain that progress with ongoing home care and a maintenance plan. Clearer skin begins with the right strategy—and consistent support.
Before Your Appointment
Bring a list or photos of your current skincare products and tell us about any medications or recent treatments. Avoid picking your skin or using strong exfoliants immediately before your visit. Do not stop prescribed acne medication without speaking with your prescriber.
