This month, Scientia, the UK-based vegan and cruelty-free skin-care brand, introduces its Pure Clarity range, a three-product collection geared toward gently treating decongested, acne-prone skin. There's a PHA-based cleanser, a toner laced with niacinamide and PHA, and the Scientia Pure Clarity Targeted Blemish Paste (£16), which is a pretty lilac-coloured spot treatment that contains clay and white willow (to soak up excess sebum and clean pores) and a host of soothing and hydrating ingredients like calamine and glycerin to keep skin balanced and happy.
