Post-Acne Care Serums

The Ordinary's Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution Targets Post-Acne Marks

— March 29, 2023 — Fashion
The Ordinary recently launched its first post-acne care serum, the Aloe 2% + NAG 2% Solution, and it takes the form of a potent, ingredient-focused formula that's as affordable as ever. This product fills a void in the market for post-acne care products with a two-part approach to healing. While aloe vera is revered as one of the best ingredients to put on the skin after a little too much sun, it's also super pampering for stressed-out skin.

"While the acne-treating space is saturated with products featuring ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide, we aimed to create a formula that would support an often overlooked part of the blemish journey: post-acne marks, the specific texture and pigmentation that is left behind once acne heals," Prudvi Kaka, Chief Scientific Officer of The Ordinary, told Refinery29.
Trend Themes
1. Post-acne Care Serums - An opportunity for companies and brands to develop more potent, affordable, and ingredient-focused formulas to cater to the needs of post-acne care.
2. Two-part Approach for Post-acne Marks - Companies and brands can develop similar two-part formulas to support post-acne marks, as aloe vera and NAG work well together for stressed-out skin.
3. Affordable Skincare Products - Creating affordable skincare products can be a disruptive innovation strategy in the beauty industry, as it enables consumers to access effective skincare without breaking the bank.
Industry Implications
1. Skincare Industry - The skincare industry can benefit from developing more post-acne care products that target the specific needs of consumers, such as acne marks and hyperpigmentation.
2. Beauty Industry - Beauty brands can focus on creating affordable yet high-quality skincare products using innovative ingredients, as The Ordinary has done with their post-acne care serum.
3. Cosmetics Industry - The cosmetics industry can explore the potential of using aloe vera and NAG in their formulas to create effective post-acne care products that address multiple concerns.
