Oily and acne-prone skin is caused by overactive sebaceous glands that produce excess sebum. While oil is necessary to protect the skin, too much can mix with dead cells and bacteria to clog pores, causing congestion, blackheads, and acne. Genetics, hormones, diet, and harsh skincare can all play a role.
Stripping the skin often worsens oiliness, which is why SCOUT formulations balance and calm with natural actives.

Yes. Natural skincare can be highly effective when powered by proven actives. SCOUT combines organic superfoods like Kakadu Plum (rich in Vitamin C), turmeric, and rosehip with cosmetic science to help minimise scars, reduce inflammation, and protect against free radicals. Our Skin Perfecting Radiance Gel with Vitamin C and brightening botanicals which refine texture and helping breakouts heal without harshness.

Yes. Skipping moisturiser can dehydrate the skin, causing even more oil production. The key is using a lightweight, non-comedogenic formula. SCOUT Balance & Replenish Light Moisturiser hydrates while regulating oil and strengthening the barrier. It ensures skin feels comfortable, matte, and smooth—all while preventing the cycle of excess shine.

The Daily Teen Skin Fitness Kit is ideal for teenage skin. It features a gentle cleanser, balancing treatment, and light moisturiser tailored to tackle hormonal breakouts without harshness. Paired with the Vitamin C Brightening Serum, it reduces blemishes and scarring over time. Parents trust SCOUT clean formulations, and teens love the simplicity and results.

Avoid heavy pore-clogging ingredients like mineral oils, silicones, and synthetic fragrances, as well as harsh sulfates and alcohol-based toners. These can worsen irritation and congestion. SCOUT avoids all of these, instead formulating with Aloe Vera bases, Vitamin C, superfoods, and botanicals that support clear skin while protecting your barrier.

Brightening actives like Vitamin C, AHAs, and rosehip are highly effective for fading post-acne marks. SCOUT Vitamin C Brightening Serum (with Kakadu Plum and turmeric) targets hyperpigmentation while our Skin Perfecting Radiance Gel refines skin texture. Used consistently, they smooth and brighten scars, restoring clarity without harsh bleaching agents.

Start with the Super Fruit Exfoliating Wash Off Cleanser to remove oil buildup. Apply Vitamin C Brightening Serum to fade marks and protect against free radicals. Hydrate with Balance & Replenish Light Moisturiser for lightweight nourishment. At night, leanse again, then apply Skin Perfecting Radiance Gel before moisturiser. Add a beauty tool like the Skin Therapy Glow System or Total Refresh Kit for targeted results.

Prevention comes from consistent, barrier-friendly care. Cleanse daily with gentle formulas, exfoliate with natural AHAs, and always hydrate—even oily skin needs moisture. SCOUT products regulate oil, calm inflammation, and keep pores clear using superfoods and vitamins. Combine this with a balanced diet, hydration, and stress management for holistic acne prevention.

SCOUT is more than skincare—it’s a clean, mindful approach to clear skin. Unlike chemical-heavy acne ranges, we combine certified organic superfoods with advanced cosmetic science for effective, gentle results. Vegan, cruelty-free, and sustainably packaged, SCOUT gives you clarity and confidence—naturally.

The secret is rebalancing, not stripping. Harsh cleansers dehydrate the skin, leading to rebound oil production. Instead, opt for lightweight hydration paired with clarifying ingredients. SCOUT Balance & Replenish Light Moisturiser hydrates oily skin without heaviness, while our Super Fruit Exfoliating Wash Off Cleanser purifies and exfoliates gently keeping skin fresh, balanced, and comfortable.
