Skin Routine for Acne-Prone Skin

If your skin is acne-prone, the goal isn’t to attack it harder—it’s to help it calm down, rebalance, and look clearer without throwing your barrier off.

That’s exactly where a zinc-based overnight routine shines.

Bedrock’s Porefector is built around 30% zinc oxide, giving you a concentrated, barrier-first way to purify pores, clarify congestion, and calm redness while you sleep.

This is a simple, effective nighttime routine designed for real life—and real breakouts.

Overnight Benefits for Acne-Prone Skin

Most routines fail because they do too much.

Harsh ingredients, over-layering, and constant switching can leave skin more reactive, more oily, and more prone to breakouts.

A zinc-focused routine flips that approach.

Instead of stripping your skin, Porefector sits on top of it to create a protective layer while helping:
• Purify pores
• Detox impurities
• Rebalance excess oil
• Calm redness that exaggerates breakouts

It’s a quieter, smarter way to get clearer-looking skin—especially overnight when your skin is already in reset mode.

The Bedrock Overnight Skin Routine for Acne-Prone Skin

Step 1: Cleanse Gently
Start with a gentle cleanser that removes dirt, oil, and buildup without leaving your skin tight or dry. You want a clean canvas—not a stripped one.

Step 2: Pat Skin Fully Dry
Let your skin fully dry before applying anything so the zinc can sit properly on the surface.

Step 3: Apply Porefector (30% Zinc Oxide)
Smooth a thin layer of Porefector onto all breakout-prone areas or individual spots.

This is where the magic happens.

With 30% zinc oxide, Porefector acts like a concentrated spot cream that:
• Helps clarify congestion
• Supports more balanced oil production
• Calms redness, minimizes large pores
• Creates a gentle barrier so skin can settle overnight

You don’t need to overapply. A light layer is enough.

Step 4: Let It Work Overnight
Go to sleep. No complicated layering, no 10-step routine.

While you rest, Porefector works to help pores look clearer and blemishes appear smaller and calmer by morning.

Step 5: Rinse Off in the Morning
Splash your face with water or do your normal morning cleanse to remove any remaining product.

Skin should look calmer, more even, and more balanced.

Why 30% Zinc Oxide Makes a Difference

At the heart of Porefector is a high concentration of zinc oxide—30%.

That level matters.

Zinc oxide doesn’t work by penetrating aggressively. It works by sitting on top of the skin, forming a protective layer that helps soothe irritation while supporting a more balanced environment for your skin.

This is especially important for acne-prone skin, where:
• Redness makes blemishes look worse
• Oil imbalance fuels congestion
• Over-treating leads to more breakouts

Instead of fighting your skin, zinc helps it settle down.

The Proprietary Blend That Sets Porefector Apart

Porefector isn’t just zinc—it’s zinc paired with a targeted botanical blend designed to support clearer-looking skin.

Key ingredients include:
• Arrowroot Powder – helps absorb excess oil and keep skin looking matte and balanced
• Helichrysum Essential Oil – known for helping calm the look of irritated skin
• Clary Sage Essential Oil – supports oil balance and clarity
• Frankincense Essential Oil – helps refine the look of uneven texture and tone

Together, this blend works alongside zinc oxide to detox impurities, clarify pores, and support smoother-looking skin overnight.
