This June is Acne Awareness Month and iconic French Skincare brand Yon-Ka has been helping people manage breakouts for 70 years, with advice and products that can help with oily skin, imperfections, spots and acne.
Michelle Ryan, National Educator for Yon-Ka Ireland said, ‘More and more women over the age of 25 are now suffering with adult acne. Factors such as genetics, stress, hormones, misuse of products and diet can be triggers, so it’s important to introduce key active ingredients such as salicylic acid, antioxidants, and Vitamin A to your skincare routine to manage acne and rebalance the skin.’
Yon-Ka’s SOS Spot roll-on treatment is the perfect anti-bacterial partner to reduce inflammation, target an SOS spot or stop the spread of bacteria! This purifying and sanitizing hero product works to calm and neutralise skin imperfections with its powerful active ingredients.
With an impressive combination of ingredients such as lactic acid, ichtyol, organic calendula along with Yon-Ka’s Quintessence blend of 5 100% pure and natural essential oils, lavender, geranium, rosemary, thyme and cypress, this fantastic formula contributes to the powerful cleansing and regenerating action of SOS Spot Roll-On. The medical-grade steel ball tip allows a targeted application to help clear and smooth skin in 24 hours*, while its practical size allows you to take it in your handbag for an effective action at any time of the day.
For break-out prone skin, Michelle Ryan advises, ‘Having a selection of targeted products is essential to manage break-outs. Along with the SOS Spot Roller, I always have Yon-Ka Crème 15 and Yon-Ka Emulsion Pure in my bathroom cabinet.’
Crème 15 is a purifying breakout treatment to be used at night, and has 18 purifying plant extracts, including burdock, sage, birch tree, mallow, chamomile and arnica. The addition of St John’s wort helps to improve skin texture. Its ultra-light, non-greasy formula works well for all skin types and leaves skin balanced and soothed

The ultimate Yon-Ka treatment, Pure Emulsion is a non-oily, non-comedogenic lotion that is quickly absorbed into the skin providing a true concentrate of essential oils (lavender, geranium, rosemary, cypress and thyme) for a purifying and reviving effect. Michelle Ryan explains, ‘Oils are absorbed and blemishes are reduced, with pores becoming minimised, leaving the skin clean and smoother. Progressively, with regular applications, the skin regenerates and shows less impurities and the scarring from blemishes become less visible.’
Yon-Ka products are available now from yonka.ie and selected Yon-Ka salons and clinics nationwide.
