June is Acne Awareness Month — the perfect time to shine a light on a condition that affects millions of people worldwide, from teens to adults. At The Courtyard Aesthetic Clinic, we understand just how frustrating and confidence-knocking acne can be. The good news? There are more effective treatments and products available than ever before to help you take control of your skin.
Whether you’re dealing with occasional breakouts or persistent cystic acne, our expert-led treatments and carefully selected skincare products can make a significant difference.
Understanding Acne: It’s Not Just a Teenage Problem
Acne is a complex condition influenced by hormones, bacteria, clogged pores, and inflammation. It can appear in many forms — blackheads, whiteheads, pustules, nodules — and isn’t limited to the face. Many clients come to us struggling with breakouts on their backs, chests, and shoulders as well.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all solution, there is a tailored approach that works for your skin type, and that’s exactly what we offer at The Courtyard Aesthetic Clinic.
In-Clinic Acne Treatments
We provide a range of advanced treatments, all backed by clinical research and delivered by our experienced team. Here are some of the most effective:
1. Hydrafacial for Acne-Prone Skin
Hydrafacial is one of our most popular treatments — and for good reason. This multi-step facial deeply cleanses, exfoliates, and extracts impurities while infusing the skin with hydrating, calming serums. When customised for acne-prone skin, it helps to unclog pores, reduce oiliness, and calm inflammation without irritation.
2. LED Light Therapy
Our Dermalux LED Light Therapy uses clinically proven wavelengths to target acne-causing bacteria (blue light), soothe inflammation (red light), and promote healing (near-infrared light). It’s a gentle, non-invasive treatment that enhances results when used alongside other therapies.
3. Neogen Plasma Treatment
This advanced technology uses low-temperature plasma energy to sterilise the skin, reduce bacteria, and improve overall skin texture. It also enhances the absorption of active skincare ingredients, making it especially effective for managing acne and reducing post-acne scarring.
4. Expert Skin Consultations
Every acne journey is different. That’s why we start with a thorough skin consultation to assess your skin’s needs, triggers, and history. From there, we create a bespoke plan to target the root causes and support your skin holistically.
At-Home Skincare That Works
Using the right skincare products is just as important as in-clinic treatments. We stock only professional-grade skincare ranges that are proven to support acne-prone skin without causing further irritation or breakouts.
ZO Skin Health: Complexion Clearing Programme
This targeted routine is specifically designed to clear congestion, reduce surface oil, and calm inflammation. It includes:
Exfoliating Cleanser – deep-cleanses to remove oil and debris
Exfoliation Polish - scrub to clean out pores and strip away dead skin
Complexion Renewal Pads - toner pads with alicylic acid for acne prevention.
Complexion Clearing Masque – absorbs excess oil and detoxifies pores
NEW at The Courtyard – ZO Skin Health Retinol + Blemish Complex
We are excited to now stock the NEW product from ZO. The Retinol + Blemish Complex is expertly formulated to combat acne at every stage. Powered by a high-potency blend of retinol and soothing ingredients, it works to:
Prevent future breakouts
Reduce inflammation
Minimise post-acne pigmentation
Refine skin texture
Support collagen production for long-term clarity
This advanced treatment visibly smooths, balances, and clarifies the complexion — making it a powerful addition to your acne-fighting skincare routine.
Non-Comedogenic SPFs
Many acne sufferers worry that SPF will clog their pores, but sun protection is vital — especially if you’re using active ingredients. We offer a range of SPFs that are oil-free, lightweight, and formulated not to aggravate acne. These include:
ZO Skin Health Sunscreens with both chemical and mineral options
Heliocare Oil-Free Gel SPF, ideal for oily or breakout-prone skin
Tackling Acne Scars and Pigmentation
Once active breakouts are under control, many clients look to improve post-acne scarring or pigmentation. Treatments like Neogen Plasma, microneedling, and LED therapy can all help improve skin texture and tone. We’ll guide you through the best options during your consultation.

You don’t have to battle acne alone. At The Courtyard Aesthetic Clinic, we offer compassionate, expert-led care that’s tailored to your unique skin. With in-clinic treatments and supportive at-home skincare, we’re here to help you achieve calm, healthy, and confident skin.

To Analyze your skincare ingredients to prevent clogged pores, an online checker can be a real game-changer. It can be overwhelming to try and memorize all the potentially pore-clogging ingredients out there. These tools simplify the process: you provide the ingredient list, and it highlights any that have a moderate to high likelihood of causing comedones. This is especially useful when you're trying out new products or trying to troubleshoot existing breakouts. It helps you become a more savvy skincare consumer and tailor your routine more effectively.
