Break the breakout cycle
Clear skin and a healthy barrier are not mutually exclusive.
Acne isn't just about excess oil.
It's about skin imbalance caused by a mix of factors including an overgrowth of bacteria, inflammation, increased oil production, and clogged pores.
But while traditional treatments, like harsh acids, successfully kill acne-causing bacteria, they compromise the skin barrier, wiping out the healthy microbes your skin needs to stay balanced and causing more dryness, more irritation, and more breakouts in the process.
AUNU's medical-grade Mānuka honey works differently.
Featuring active levels of our proprietary Comvita™ Medihoney®, which has selective antimicrobial properties to target harmful bacteria while supporting the beneficial microbes your skin needs to stay balanced and protected, AUNU’s core collection works to treat—and prevent—breakouts.
For clearer skin, without the backlash.

BACTERIA, BREAKOUTS AND BALANCE
When it comes to treating acne, bacteria plays a much bigger role than most people realize.
In this episode, Dr. Adam Geyer, AUNU’s Chief of Dermatology, explains how AUNU's proprietary Comvita™ Medihoney® medical-grade Mānuka honey works differently than traditional acne treatments acting as a powerful anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial to selectively target harmful bacteria, reducing its ability to cause breakouts, while nurturing the beneficial microbes your skin's barrier needs to stay strong and healthy over time.
Three Steps to Calmer, Clearer Skin
Our streamlined acne regimen uses Comvita™ Medihoney® to reduce redness and inflammation while targeting break-out causing bacteria, without causing dryness or flaking.
Step 1: Gently Cleanse
Mānuka Cleanser
Our rich, daily cleanser emulsifies and cleanses, acting as a selective anti-microbial to target acne-causing bacteria and remove dirt and oil without stripping skin. A cocooning, sulfate-free ritual, the honey-like balm texture can transform into a light foam or be applied onto dry skin as a quick treatment mask that rinses off without residue for a soft, never-squeaky clean.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"A Formulators's Perspective: This high-glycerin, low-water-activity system inherently possesses bacteriostatic properties (inhibiting bacterial growth), which is extremely friendly for acne-prone skin as it reduces the need for heavy preservatives."—Z Y.
Step 2: smooth & repair
Mānuka Essence
Experience skin clarity with our highest concentration of anti-inflammatory, and selective antimicrobial medical-grade Mānuka honey. With an easy-absorbing liquid texture, our naturally active Essence gently increases cellular turnover to treat breakouts, clear pores, and quench skin with reparative ceramides to deliver lasting support to the skin’s barrier and its deepest layers.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I have pimples disappear practically overnight after a drop of the Essence! My skin has been so clear since using."—Sian A.
Step 3: Balance or Treat your hydration level
Mānuka Cream or Mānuka Salve
BALANCE: Our rich Mānuka Cream combines multi-molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid and medical-grade Mānuka honey—two powerhouse, non-comedogenic humectants—with re-texturizing natural actives to calm skin and reinforce the skin barrier with a cushiony texture that absorbs without a greasy finish.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I am someone that has dry, acne-prone skin and with other creams, my skin can look oily by end of day. This cream changed that for me. It keeps my skin hydrated and feels super lightweight."—Tori V.
TREAT: Powered by Comvita™ Medihoney® plus 3% colloidal oatmeal, our Mānuka Salve treats and prevents acne—without causing dryness or flaking—featuring a nurturing whipped balm texture that reduces redness and inflammation while providing on-contact comfort.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"I have been experiencing some red bumps on my face. Have seen a dermatologist, which didn't help, and have tried many OTC products to help the tiny break-outs go away. This salve is actually working and I'm very grateful!"—Kathy A.S.
Optional Step 4: treat
Mānuka Mask
Made with 100% anti-inflammatory, antibacterial Comvita™ Medihoney®, this multi-tasking treatment product can be used for allover calming, clearing, and brightening or as a spot treatment to encourage healing.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
"The rare skincare product that’s both intelligent and humble for breakouts. It helped calm the angry redness and seemed to support faster recovery—like it encouraged my skin to heal instead of spiraling."—Ze Y.
THE RESULTS
Real people, Real Relief
"In just a few days, AUNU calmed down the redness and even reduced the irritation from my hormonal breakouts, which used to turn into huge cystic acne that lasted forever and took months to go away. All of my spots are smaller and everything resolved itself so quickly."
