Clear your skin by healing the root cause.
A 16-week 1:1 programme for persistent and cystic acne. It's for people who have tried everything on the surface and are ready to find out what their skin has been trying to tell them.
Please read first. The Acne Programme is educational and works alongside your medical care. It does not diagnose, treat or cure any medical condition, and it is not a replacement for advice from your GP or another qualified medical professional. I am a qualified skin and functional health practitioner, not a doctor. Always speak to your doctor about any medical concern, and never stop prescribed medication on the strength of anything you read here.
Everything, in about thirty seconds
- Sixteen weeks, one to one with me, delivered online wherever you are in the world.
- Weeks 1–4 build the foundations: mindset, nutrition, lifestyle, digestion and detoxification.
- A functional blood test covering 55 biomarkers, read against optimal ranges rather than just "normal" ones.
- A personalised protocol based off your blood work results, not a template.
- Weekly check-ins, monthly video check-ins and message support Monday to Friday, plus access to the Clear Skin Library.
- £997 for the complete programme, with payment plans available via Klarna. Blood test purchased separately.
- It starts with a Discovery Call, a short chat to work out whether it's right for you.
Is this the right programme for you?
This is for you if…
- You're ready to find the real reason you're breaking out
- You're fed up with temporary, surface-level fixes
- You want a root-cause approach: hormones, gut, nutrients, lifestyle
- You're willing to take charge of your health, not hand it over
- You want your confidence back
This isn't for you if…
- You aren't ready to make changes to how you eat and live
- You won't complete your weekly check-ins
- You're expecting a quick fix in a few weeks
- You won't reach out for support when you get stuck
I'll be honest with you: I can't want this more than you do. I'll give you the plan, the testing and every bit of support I have, but you're the one living it day to day.
Client results
No filters and no editing, just the same client photographed before starting and again further into the programme.
Every photo is a real client, shared with their permission. Individual results vary, because acne is complex and no two people respond in the same way or over the same timescale.
From dreading every period to barely noticing one
Charlie and I had worked together in clinic for two years. Her skin was supported, but she was still getting severe breakouts before every period, along with PMS symptoms she'd had since she was nine. Then she joined the programme.
Charlie, The Acne ProgrammeWhen I joined the clear skin method I was dealing with a painful flare up that had my self-confidence at an all time low…
My PMS symptoms that I've been struggling to get a handle on, including with the assistance of doctors, since I was 9 years old have greatly improved with the supplement and dietary plan created for me by Faye. I no longer experience the extreme cramping and emotional aspects of my period as well as the painful breakouts I once did, I now get few, if any, breakouts that disappear as soon as they come!

Your skin isn't the problem. It's the messenger.
Almost everything offered to acne sufferers works on the surface. Sometimes it helps for a while, but when nothing has changed underneath, the breakouts come back the moment you stop.
Treat what you can see
- Another product, another active, another routine
- Advice that contradicts the last advice you were given
- Supplements bought on a guess, with nothing to aim at
- The same flare-up returning the moment you stop
- One plan, handed to everybody
Work out why it's happening
- Hormonal imbalances, including post-pill and PCOS-related
- Gut health and digestion
- Nutrient status, measured rather than assumed
- Stress, sleep, lifestyle and mindset
- A protocol built around your body, your symptoms and your results
How the sixteen weeks run
Two phases. The first calms and rebuilds the foundations; the second is precision work, driven by your blood results.
Foundational protocol
You can't out-supplement a stressful life or a diet that isn't working for you. So we start with five pillars:
Mindset
How you think about your skin, and the stress that feeds it
Nutrition
Eating to steady blood sugar and feed your skin
Lifestyle
Sleep, movement and the routines around them
Digestion
Getting the gut working properly first
Detoxification
Supporting the pathways that clear hormones out
Four weeks of calming the system and building habits that hold, so everything in phase two actually lands.
Your functional blood work protocol
Around week four your results come back and we go through them together, line by line. From there I build your protocol:
- Nutrition adapted to the deficiencies your results show
- Targeted supplementation where it's genuinely warranted
- Lifestyle changes tied to specific out-of-range markers
- Skincare adjusted alongside everything else
For the remaining ten weeks you run your protocol while keeping the foundational work going underneath it. The two layers together are what shift skin that hasn't shifted before.
We stop guessing at week four.
Your blood test covers 55 biomarkers: liver health, gut markers, nutrient status, sex hormones and more. The results are read functionally, and that's where this differs from the test you may have had at your GP surgery: conventional ranges are wide and built to catch disease, while functional ranges describe where a marker sits when the body is genuinely thriving.
An illustration, not a real result. A marker at 98 in a conventional range of 1–100 comes back as normal. Technically true, and no help at all. Read against an optimal range of 40–60, the same number is clearly high. That's the kind of imbalance we can find long before anyone would call it a disease, and it's exactly what shows up in your skin.
The blood test is arranged through the programme and paid for separately unless stated otherwise on your discovery call. It is a wellbeing test interpreted functionally. It is not a diagnostic test and does not replace investigations arranged by your doctor.
Everything included
Functional health assessment
A full picture of your health history, symptoms, cycle, digestion, skin and lifestyle before we change a thing.
Blood work analysis
55+ biomarkers, interpreted against functional ranges and cross-referenced with your symptoms.
Your personalised protocol
Nutrition, supplementation, lifestyle and skincare, built for your results, not a template.
Weekly check-ins
A short form every week so nothing drifts, and so I can adjust before a small problem becomes a flare.
Monthly video check-ins
Time with me to review progress properly, ask anything, and tweak the protocol as your body responds.
Message support, Monday to Friday
Between calls, whenever you're stuck or unsure. You are never left waiting a fortnight to ask a question.
The Faye K Face online shop
Access to my client shop and the professional skincare I use with clients, which is not sold publicly.
The Clear Skin Library
Recipes, meal planners, grocery lists, educational modules and more, yours to work through at your own pace.
Tools you keep
Knowing your own triggers, how to respond to a flare-up, and the habits that hold your skin steady long after week sixteen.
What sixteen weeks can realistically do
I'm not going to promise you perfectly clear skin in sixteen weeks. Anyone who does is selling you the same quick fix you've already tried.
What I do promise: you will leave understanding what has been driving your breakouts, with a protocol that fits your body and the tools to keep going long after the programme ends. Skin heals on its own timeline, but far faster once you stop guessing.
What clients report
- Clearer skin and fewer breakouts
- Better digestion, with less bloating and constipation
- Reduced PMS symptoms
- Steadier energy, without the afternoon crash
- A healthier relationship with their skin and their body
- Confidence and self-esteem they'd stopped expecting to get back
Individual results vary. These are outcomes clients have reported, not a promise of what will happen for you, and nothing here is medical advice.

Book a discovery callHow it works, start to finish
No mystery and no surprises. This is exactly what happens from the moment you book a call.
-

A short video call with no obligation. We talk about your skin, your goals and your questions, and work out honestly whether the programme is right for you. We'll cover payment options here too.

Onboarding & assessment
You get straight into the Clear Skin Library and complete your functional health assessment: your history, symptoms, cycle, digestion, diet and lifestyle in detail.
-
Skin consultation call
We go through your assessment together and I give you everything you need to order your blood test and arrange your blood draw.
-
Blood test & functional analysis
You have your bloods taken and send me the results. I analyse all 55 biomarkers functionally and cross-reference them against everything you've told me.
-
Protocol feedback call, around week four
We go through your results together so you actually understand them, and you receive your combined foundational and functional blood work protocol.
-
Ongoing support, weeks five to sixteen
You run your protocol with weekly check-in forms, monthly video check-ins, and message support from me Monday to Friday in between.
I spent a decade being told to cover it up.
My acne started at 14 and followed me well into my twenties. Roaccutane cleared my skin and left me with side effects I hadn't bargained for. Years later, coming off the contraceptive pill, it all came back, this time with post-pill symptoms and a PCOS diagnosis alongside it. Every appointment ended the same way: go back on the pill.
I kept refusing, because I knew my skin was breaking out for a reason and nobody was looking for it. So I took it into my own hands, put my PCOS into remission through nutrition and lifestyle, got my period back and cleared my skin, then trained properly so nobody else has to work it out alone.

Questions, answered
Is this medical treatment?
No. The programme is educational and works on nutrition, lifestyle and skincare. It doesn't diagnose, treat or cure any condition, and it isn't a substitute for your GP.
Do I have to have the blood test?
Not necessarily. The blood work is the heart of phase two and it's what turns an educated guess into a targeted protocol, but I can support you without it. If that's a concern for you, we can discuss it on your discovery call.
Can I do this if I'm not in the UK?
The programme is delivered entirely online, so the coaching side works anywhere. Blood testing and phlebotomy arrangements do vary by country, so please mention where you're based on your discovery call and we'll check what's possible before you sign up.
Is it right for hormonal, post-pill or PCOS acne?
That's exactly what it was built for. It's the journey I went through myself. Hormones, gut health, nutrients, lifestyle and skincare are addressed together rather than in isolation.
How much time will it take each week?
A short check-in form each week, one video call a month, and then the daily habits themselves: food, sleep, stress, skincare. The protocol is built around your real life, not an ideal one, which is why we spend so long on your assessment first.
Why start now rather than in a few months?
There's no false deadline and I won't invent one. But there is a real cost to waiting: another few months of trying, hoping and starting again, and more money on supplements bought blind. The sooner you start, the sooner your skin and your symptoms can begin to change.
What happens when the sixteen weeks are up?
You keep everything you've learnt, plus the Clear Skin Library. Most people carry on independently by then, because they finally understand what their skin responds to. If you'd like continued support afterwards, just ask.
I'm not sure I'm ready. Should I still book a call?
Yes. The discovery call exists precisely so neither of us commits to the wrong thing. If it isn't your moment, I'll say so and point you at something that fits better: a consultation, a one-off test analysis, or simply waiting.
Ready to stop guessing?
Book your discovery call and we'll talk it through properly: your skin, your goals, your questions and your payment options. It's a conversation, not a sales pitch, and it's how we both find out whether we're the right fit.
