We all have an excuse for acne. It’s easy to blame an outbreak on stress, lack of sleep, weather changes, or (my personal favorite) “that time of the month.” But did you ever think your hair care products could be contributing to the blotches?

Kairo Acne Care Solutions hopes to revoluntionize the way we think about washing and styling our locks. They’ve created the first ever system that promises to combat hair care related acne woes. This new line is packed with everything from shampoo and conditioner to styling favorites like hairspray and hair gel.

We were lucky enough to receive the Balancing Breakout-Controlling Conditioner. Here’s why it’s billed as a beauty breakthrough: As much as you try to keep conditioner on your scalp, sooner or later it will end up on your face. According to Kairos, this results in harmful oils seeping into your skin, leading to the inevitable breakout. Kairos says it’s skin perfecting potion does not contain the pore-clogging ingredients that are present in other products. It promises to control breakouts by balancing the overproduction of oil by the scalp. It also contains 1% Salicylic Acid to attack problem areas. That’s a common acne-fighting ingredient.

These sisters have to admit, we don’t have full-on acne, but do get those stubborn pimples that always seem to pop up. A mere 2 ½ weeks after smoothing the treatment through our strands, we noticed our punims were a bit more clear. While we can’t promise you’ll have the same results, we think anything that might lessen the severity of breakouts is worth a try!

As if clearer skin isn’t fab enough, the scent of the product makes you feel like you’re in a spa, and it detangles knots in a snap! We found ourselves looking forward to whipping out the bottle every time we showered!

The proof is in the picture. The company’s posted some before and after pics right over here.
