Acne + Rosacea Treatment

What problem are we solving?


If you’ve ever felt like your skin isn’t responding to facials, products, or even prescriptions… you’re not alone.

There are certain skin conditions that go deeper than surface-level concerns:

  • Persistent acne that keeps coming back

  • Red, inflamed rosacea that won’t calm down

  • Uneven texture or abnormal skin cell buildup

  • Skin that feels reactive no matter what you use


The problem isn’t always your routine.



The problem is often overactive or abnormal skin cells that need to be targeted at a deeper level.



That’s exactly where PD-13 Therapy comes in.



What is PD-13 Therapy?

PD-13 Therapy by KrX is an advanced treatment that uses a light-activated ingredient (Methyl Aminolevulinate HCl 13%) to target problematic skin cells.

Here’s what makes it different:

  • It is applied to the skin first

  • Then activated using Red LED Light Therapy

  • Once activated, it selectively targets damaged or overactive cells

This process is known as Photodynamic Therapy (PDT).

Think of it like this:

👉 Instead of just treating the surface, we are training the skin to function better at a cellular level.



How it works

PD-13 Therapy works in three intentional steps:

  1. Application of the photosensitizer


    The PD-13 solution is applied to the skin, allowing it to absorb into targeted cells.

  2. Activation with Red Light Therapy


    The light activates the ingredient, which then works to:

    • Destroy acne-causing bacteria

    • Reduce inflammation

    • Target abnormal skin growth or damaged cells

  3. Neutralization

    A neutralizer is applied post-treatment to calm and reset the skin.

The result is a more controlled, corrective approach to conditions that typically feel unpredictable.



Why it matters

A lot of treatments focus on:

  • Drying out acne

  • Temporarily calming redness

  • Exfoliating the surface

But PD-13 Therapy focuses on why the skin is behaving this way in the first place.

This matters because:

  • Acne is not just clogged pores — it is inflammation + bacteria + cell dysfunction

  • Rosacea is not just redness — it is vascular + inflammatory imbalance

  • Abnormal skin growth requires targeted correction, not just exfoliation

PD-13 allows us to treat the root, not just the reaction.



Who it’s for

This treatment is best suited for clients who:

  • Struggle with moderate to severe acne

  • Experience rosacea or chronic redness

  • Have congested, inflamed, or reactive skin

  • Feel like nothing has worked long term

  • Want a more advanced, results-driven approach

It is also:

  • Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types

  • Acne-safe and barrier-conscious

  • Free of added fragrance

  • Vegan and gentle in formulation



Who it’s NOT for (important)

PD-13 Therapy is not recommended if you have:

  • Pregnancy

  • Active dermatitis

  • Skin cancer

  • Sunburn

  • Tree nut allergy



⚠️ Allergy Alert (Important)

Clients with nut or peanut allergies should not use this product. Severe reactions can occur.

This is why a thorough consultation is always required before treatment.
