WHAT GUIDES US

Evidence-based skincare for acne-prone skin.

Upenya is designed for skin that’s prone to breakouts.

​Our goal is simple: to support clearer, calmer, healthier skin using ingredients and methods backed by science.

We don’t overpromise. We focus on skin barrier support, microbiome balance, and visible improvements based on real testing.​

1. Formulated for sensitive, acne-prone skin.

Many products aimed at breakouts can be aggressive and drying.

Our formulations are designed to be effective while supporting your skin’s barrier and long-term health.

​​

​2. We support the microbiome.

Healthy skin relies on a balanced microbiome.

Our products contain prebiotic ingredients that help maintain the skin’s natural defenses and reduce visible irritation. ​

 

3. We test for real results.

Every formulation is tested with real people and professional lab tools.

That includes measuring hydration, barrier function, and the appearance of blemishes over time.​​ We share the data clearly, so you know what to expect.

4. Skincare that doesn't cost the earth.

Our world-class, science-backed skincare delivers radiant, healthy skin without the premium price-tag.

​​

5. Skincare for everyone.

Our inclusive formulas are crafted for every skin type and tone - from melanin-rich to fair complexions - to meet each unique skins' needs.
