A Professional Skin Therapist’s Guide – Instaskin by Gabi, Gothenburg Illustrative image. Acne scars differ from person to person – professional consultation helps determine the right treatment approach. Acne scars are one of the most common concerns clients bring to Instaskin .

Adult acne is far more common than most people think. Many clients are surprised when breakouts appear in their late 20s, 30s or even 40s — often after years of relatively clear skin. Adult acne behaves very differently from teenage acne, which is why it requires a more thoughtful and personalised approach. What causes adult acne?

(And Why Professional Delivery Changes Everything) So far, we’ve learned two important truths: Peptides are intelligent messengers — not magic fillers. Your skin barrier is designed to block most things on purpose. Now comes the real question: Can peptides actually work on real skin? The answer is yes —  when they’re delivered the right way.

Your skin isn’t just a surface — it’s an ecosystem. And like every ecosystem, balance is everything. The barrier — your skin’s outermost layer, the stratum corneum  — keeps good things in (hydration, lipids) and bad things out (pollution, bacteria, harsh actives). When this wall is damaged, even the most expensive skincare can backfire. Let’s decode how it works — and what it really means to care for it. 🧱 The barrier 101: your skin’s intelligent wall Think of your skin barr

Ever felt your skin tight or “squeaky” after cleansing? That’s not clean — that’s your barrier crying for help. When your skin feels dry, flaky or easily irritated, chances are you’re running low on ceramides  — the lipids that keep everything balanced, hydrated and calm. 💧 What ceramides actually do Think of them as the glue between your skin cells — tiny lipids that make up almost half  of your barrier. Together with cholesterol and fatty acids, they form a layer that lock
