ACNE + THE MICROBIOME
The skin’s microbiome is an ecosystem in miniature, with countless microorganisms living on and within our skin.
Clear skin starts with balance
Your skin is home to millions of tiny microbes — and that’s a good thing.
In a healthy pore, oil production is balanced, dead skin sheds naturally, and helpful bacteria keep everything in check.
The pore gets clogged + C. acnes bacteria proliferates
Sometimes your skin produces too much oil. When it mixes with dead skin, your pore gets clogged.
Inside this blocked pore, acne-causing C. acnes bacteria multiply rapidly, triggering inflammation that leads to redness, swelling, and painful breakouts.
CUT-02 is a smarter, precision solution
CUT-02™ is a patented precision enzyme designed to target C. acnes without disrupting the good bacteria on your skin.
It helps restore the balance of your microbiome so your skin can actually function the way it’s supposed to.
Harsh treatments can lead to more problems
In contrast, traditional acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide and antibiotics don’t just target bad bacteria—they wipe out your entire skin ecosystem.
This can disrupt your skin’s natural balance, causing dryness, irritation, and even more breakouts over time.

THE CUT-02™ ENZYME, EXPLAINED
01
Targets acne at the source
The patented CUT-02™ enzyme specifically eliminates C. acnes, the bacteria responsible for acne. That means lasting reductions in breakouts, inflammation, and redness.
02
Clear skin without the trade-offs
Traditional acne treatments come with a long list of harsh side effects and destroy the skin’s microbiome. Because CUT-02™ targets only acne-causing bacteria, it delivers real results without disrupting skin.
03
Precision care that balances the microbiome
Acne-prone skin isn't just oily skin, it's a microbiome imbalance. CUT-02™ helps restore the naturally protective bacterial ecosystem that healthy skin depends on.
