Description
Dr. Hauschka Intensive Treatments with specially selected natural measures in a rhythmitised form complement the basic skin care routine. They support the skin when it has become unbalanced and needs a harmonising impulse. Clarifying Intensive Treatment (age 25+) offers powerful care for blemished adult skin prone to inflammation.
Formulation: Rhythmitised dilutions of sage and mercurialis with the gemstone peridot act quickly to balance the skin. Witch hazel and rhythmitised chicory balance moisture content and stabilise skin, minimising the appearance of breakouts. Clarifying Intensive Treatment (age 25+) gives the skin the power to rediscover a fine-pored, clear complexion.
Skin condition: For blemished, adult skin.
Usage
Skin cells are renewed every 28 days. Mirroring this same regenerative cycle, Intensive Treatments are to be used for 28 days. Intensive Treatments work most effectively when used four times a year, in each season, as a stimulus.
After morning and evening cleansing, mist 4-5 pumps onto the face, neck and décolleté then gently press into the skin. One bottle should provide a full 28 day course or a little over. The one bottle is a treatment course, use the contents of the bottle until it’s finished. When doing an Intensive Treatment use instead of Toner and Serum.

Dr Hauschka Clarifying Intensive Treatment over 25, your questions answered
Q1. Why does the Dr Hauschka clarifying treatment differ for over 25 versus under 25?
Skin over 25 begins to show the first signs of reduced cell turnover while potentially still dealing with adult blemishes or oiliness. The over-25 formula addresses both concerns simultaneously, supporting renewal as well as clarifying.
Q2. Is it safe near the eye area?
Apply to the face avoiding the eyelid and lash margin. Intensive treatments are concentrated and should not be applied directly to periocular skin.
Q3. How often do I use it?
As a course treatment, not daily. Check the current product instructions for the recommended schedule and duration.
Q4. Is it NATRUE certified?
Yes. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens, biodynamic plant actives targeted at adult blemish-prone skin.
Q5. What causes adult blemishes in skin over 25?
Adult blemishes can be triggered by hormonal fluctuations, stress, dietary factors, and incorrect skincare. Unlike teenage acne, adult blemishes often occur on the lower face and around the jaw. The over-25 treatment addresses the specific skin conditions that contribute to adult blemishes, including thickening skin with slower cell turnover.
Q6. Can I use the over-25 treatment if I have both blemishes and early signs of ageing?
Yes, that is exactly who it is designed for. The formula balances clarifying action with support for skin renewal, which is why it differs from the younger skin version that does not need the renewal component.
Q7. How does Dr Hauschka clarifying treatment compare to conventional salicylic acid blemish treatments?
Conventional blemish treatments use salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide as their active. Dr Hauschka uses biodynamic plant actives. The natural approach tends to be gentler and less drying, but may produce slower results for more severe blemish concerns. It suits skin that has not tolerated conventional treatments well.
