Tinge Acne Spot Correction Gel 20ml

Tinge creates skincare that truly works. We combine the power of nature with science, using natural ingredients and a high concentration of active components that genuinely make a difference. Tinge blends the expertise of experienced pharmacists and engineers to develop effective and clinically proven products that efficiently address skin aging, pigmentation, and acne. 

With at least 95% natural ingredients, our formulas are not only kind to your skin but also to the environment. Every ingredient is carefully selected by our team of pharmacists based on proven efficacy and is gentle even on sensitive skin. Our products are free from irritating or harmful additives such as mineral oils, silicones, parabens, SLS/SLES, or drying alcohols. Thanks to the high concentration of active ingredients, our products are highly effective and contribute to visibly healthy and radiant skin.

Our production runs 100% on solar energy and takes place in controlled cleanrooms, fully managed in-house in Belgium under the strictest quality controls. This contributes to exceptional product safety and quality. By keeping everything in-house, we can closely monitor every step of the process. This ensures consistent top-quality skincare where innovation and sustainability go hand in hand. 

For all our products, we use Aqua Purificata, a purified water that meets the stringent standards of the European Pharmacopoeia. This sets a new benchmark for purity and microbial control, going beyond what is typical in the cosmetics industry. Thanks to this high purity, our products are more stable, safer, and have a longer shelf life. They contain fewer impurities and microbial risks, resulting in reliable and skin-friendly formulas that comply with strict regulatory requirements. In short, Tinge stands for innovative skincare that works, with care for people and the environment.

Using natural skincare products is important, but we go further by selecting only natural ingredients that are mild and highly compatible with the skin. Carefully chosen natural ingredients are often rich in nutrients like vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that help keep skin healthy, protected, and revitalized. Moreover, they are free from harmful or irritating chemicals, fragrances, and colorants, making them ideal for sensitive skin types 

Natural products are not only better for your skin but also for the environment. Nature recognizes and breaks down natural ingredients naturally, which makes them more sustainable. They are less taxing on the environment and are often responsibly sourced.

Aqua Purificata is ultra-pure water that we produce ourselves, with minimal impurities, minerals, and contaminants. Compared to what is typically used in the cosmetics industry, it meets much higher purity standards. This makes it ideal for sensitive skin because it contains almost no ions or pollutants, significantly reducing the risk of allergic reactions and irritation. Its purity ensures that active ingredients in skincare can work more effectively, as there's less interference from impurities or minerals. This allows ingredients like antioxidants, vitamins, and moisturizers to perform optimally, contributing to visibly healthier and more radiant skin.

Yes! Tinge is fully developed and produced in Antwerp, Belgium, with a strong emphasis on local manufacturing and high quality. The brand values not only the best formulas but also sustainable practices. Production is powered entirely by solar energy, helping to reduce our ecological footprint. Every step of the process — from formulation to packaging and distribution — is carefully controlled. This enhances quality and ensures transparency, so consumers know they're choosing a product that’s good for their skin and the environment.

All our products are rigorously tested and comply with the highest safety standards.

Acne is an inflammatory skin disease that arises when hair follicles become clogged with oil (sebum), dead skin cells, and sometimes bacteria. This can lead to inflammation, blackheads, pimples, cysts, or abscesses. The main causes of acne are:

• Overproduction of sebum by the sebaceous glands.
• Clogging of pores by accumulated dead skin cells.​
• Bacteria such as Propionibacterium acnes that multiply in clogged pores.
• Hormonal changes, such as during puberty, menstrual cycles, or pregnancy, which increase sebum production.​
• Genetic factors, as acne is more common in people whose parents also had acne.
• Environmental factors, such as stress, pollution, or use of comedogenic (pore-clogging) cosmetics.

The Acne Correcting Gel is an SOS product for targeted spot treatment. The gel contains ingredients like wintergreen extract (natural salicylic acid), which unclogs pores and reduces inflammation. At the same time, mandelic acid gently exfoliates the skin, preventing new blemishes from forming.

An acne spot gel can help prevent scars by quickly reducing inflammation. The faster a pimple heals, the less chance there is of permanent scarring. By reducing inflammation and aiding skin healing, the gel can help prevent scars or hyperpigmentation from developing.

An acne spot gel offers a targeted treatment, meaning it specifically focuses on problem areas without affecting the rest of the skin. This makes it more efficient for treating localized acne outbreaks, whereas a general facial treatment is often aimed at improving overall skin condition. Spot gels can work faster and are less harsh on healthy skin.

The gel is formulated with mild ingredients like glycerin and aloe vera, which hydrate and soothe the skin. Therefore, it does not dry out the skin like many traditional acne treatments.

Most users notice a reduction in inflammation and redness within a week. For significant improvement, it is important to use the gel consistently as a short, local treatment. Apply the gel twice daily, or more often if needed, directly on the pimple or inflammation.

Coconut extract is obtained from the meat of the coconut (Cocos nucifera). The extract is usually obtained through cold-press or ethanol extraction methods to preserve the active compounds beneficial for the skin. The extract contains a rich concentration of fatty acids, antioxidants, and nutrients that can have soothing, hydrating, and antibacterial effects.

In the Tinge Acne Correction Spot Treatment, coconut extract is used for its anti-inflammatory and hydrating properties, essential in treating inflamed acne.

Niacinamide is a water-soluble form of vitamin B3, an essential micronutrient for the body. It plays an important role in cellular energy metabolism and helps maintain healthy skin. Niacinamide works in the skin by improving the barrier function, which is essential for retaining moisture, protecting against external aggressors like pollution, and regulating inflammatory processes.

At the cellular level, niacinamide helps regenerate the skin barrier by stimulating ceramide production—lipids that stabilize epidermal cells and protect against water loss. This improves overall skin health and promotes a hydrated, balanced complexion.

Mandelic acid is an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) derived from almonds. It is unique among AHAs due to its larger molecular size, allowing it to penetrate the skin more slowly and deeply. This results in gentler exfoliation, making mandelic acid especially suitable for people with sensitive skin or skin conditions like acne.

It works by loosening and breaking down corneocytes (dead skin cells) in the upper skin layer, speeding up skin regeneration. This process

• Removes impurities and dead skin cells.
• Helps unclog pores and reduces sebum buildup.
• Promotes cell renewal, resulting in smoother skin texture and more even tone.

Additionally, mandelic acid has antibacterial properties, which help reduce acne outbreaks.

Acids in skincare are active ingredients that help exfoliate the skin, remove dead skin cells, and improve overall skin texture. Different types of acids include AHAs (alpha hydroxy acids) like glycolic acid and lactic acid, BHAs (beta hydroxy acids) like salicylic acid, and PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) like gluconolactone and lactobionic acid.​

Ginger extract is derived from the root of the ginger plant (Zingiber officinale). It contains a wide range of bioactive compounds, including:

• Gingerols and shogaols: Potent antioxidants and anti-inflammatory agents.
• Zingiberene: An essential oil with antibacterial properties.
• Phenols: Help neutralize free radicals and strengthen the skin barrier.

In skincare, ginger extract works to:

• Reduce inflammation by regulating the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines.
• Protect against oxidative stress, which is important in acne flare-ups triggered by environmental factors.
• Support the skin’s natural repair processes, helping to reduce the appearance of scars and redness.

Aloe vera is a tropical plant whose gel-like sap in the leaves is rich in bioactive compounds such as:

• Polysaccharides: Promote hydration and skin repair.
• Glycoproteins: Reduce inflammation and soothe the skin.
• Vitamins (A, C, E, B12): Act as antioxidants and stimulate skin healing.
• Amino acids: Support cell regeneration and tissue repair.

This composition makes aloe vera a multifunctional ingredient that nourishes, calms, and protects the skin.
