Decongest

Bio-Therapeutic • Pre-Extraction Gel

This next-generation formula helps gently prepare the skin for extractions. Jojoba esters combine with sodium PCA and sodium hyaluronate to hydrate the skin and loosen debris, helping facilitate gentle extraction and deep cleansing.

Pineapple enzymes in a slightly alkaline formula help loosen stubborn sebum, while soothing botanicals including arnica, calendula, chamomile and gotu kola help calm the skin. Tea tree and lactobacillus ferment help maintain skin balance, while antioxidant noni extract and a chlorophyllin-copper complex help mitigate environmental stressors for boosted skin resilience.

Expected Outcomes

With use, skin may appear more thoroughly cleansed and less congested, with calmer, more comfortable skin following extraction or deep-cleansing steps.

  • ✓ Pineapple Enzymes: help loosen stubborn sebum in a slightly alkaline formula
  • ✓ Arnica, Calendula, Chamomile & Gotu Kola: soothing botanicals that help calm the skin
  • ✓ Tea Tree & Lactobacillus Ferment: help maintain skin balance
  • ✓ Noni Extract & Chlorophyllin-Copper Complex: antioxidants that help mitigate environmental stressors

 

Frequently Asked Questions
1. What does “pre-extraction” mean?

Decongest is designed to be applied before performing extractions (removing blackheads or congestion), softening and loosening debris beforehand so extractions can be carried out more gently.

2. Can I perform extractions myself at home?

Extractions carry a real risk of skin damage or scarring if not done carefully. If you’re not experienced, we recommend using Decongest as a deep-cleansing prep step without extractions, or having extractions performed by a trained professional.

3. Why is the formula “slightly alkaline”?

The slightly alkaline pH helps the pineapple enzymes work more effectively to loosen stubborn sebum, supporting a more thorough deep cleanse.

4. Can I use this with the bt-micro fusion?

Yes — Decongest is designed to be used before manual extractions, or extractions performed with the bt-micro fusion.

5. What skin type is this best suited to?

Decongest is particularly well suited to oily or congestion-prone skin, though the soothing botanical blend is designed to keep the experience comfortable for a range of skin types.

How To Use

Application & Usage Guide

Get the most from Decongest’s clarifying, prep-ready benefits with these steps:

Directions:

  • ▪ Apply to cleansed skin, focusing on areas of congestion
  • ▪ Leave on skin for 3–4 minutes before performing manual extractions, or extractions with the bt-micro fusion
  • ▪ Remove with tepid water

If you’re new to performing extractions, take extra care — applying too much pressure or extracting incorrectly can damage the skin. When in doubt, skip the extraction step and use this simply as a deep-cleansing treatment.

Suitable For

Skin Type Compatibility

Decongest is formulated for congestion-prone skin, with a few considerations before use:

Suitable For:

  • ▪ Oily or congestion-prone skin in need of a deeper cleanse

Please Note:

Avoid use on broken, irritated or sunburnt skin, or over active acne breakouts. If you have particularly sensitive or reactive skin, patch test before first use, as the formula’s enzyme activity may not suit everyone.
