AKN professional facial treatment

Pimples, acne, blackheads and shiny skin are among the main blemishes that affect not only teenagers, but also many adults struggling with late-onset acne. AKN is a professional facial treatment by Max Pier, designed to offer a concrete, visible and lasting solution for oily, impure or acne-prone skin from the very first sessions.

What is Max Pier's AKN treatment?

AKN is a professional facial treatment developed in the Max Pier laboratories to target the main causes of pimples and acne. This professional facial treatment is indicated for:

  • Young skin prone to acne breakouts or stress pimples.
  • Adult skin with localised imperfections (e.g. pimples on the forehead, chin or T-zone).
  • Beauticians and beauty centres that want to offer an effective, safe and professional facial protocol against acne and facial impurities.

How does AKN work?

AKN treatment is a synergic mix of dermo-compatible acids that perform a detoxifying, exfoliating and normalising action:

  • Mandelic Acid (in synergy with glycolic, lactic and salicylic): helps gently renew the epidermis, without attacking it.
  • Salicylic Acid: known for its anti-inflammatory and comedolytic action, ideal for combating blackheads and under-eye pimples.
  • Three-dimensional Hyaluronic Acid: maintains deep hydration and elasticity of the skin.
  • Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C): powerful antioxidant and brightener, combats toxins and marks left by pimples.

This multiphasic formulation works on several levels: it purifies the skin, regulates sebum production, reduces shine and calms redness.

The benefits of the AKN facial treatment

After a complete cycle of sessions (to be assessed according to skin condition), the face appears:

  • Brighter and more even.
  • With less visible pores and fewer blackheads.
  • Free of pimples, impurities and redness.
  • More relaxed, hydrated and healthy.

It is a professional facial treatment that is also ideal as a prevention for pimples and to maintain results over time, especially if combined with daily skincare with specific products.

AKN: pimple remedy and wellness ritual

AKN: pimple remedy and wellness ritual

The AKN treatment can be carried out on your own by skincare with the suggested Max Pier products. However, for even more effective and lasting results, we recommend our specialised beauty centres.


In our beauty centres, the AKN treatment is enriched with specific facial massages and facial reflexology rituals (taught in Max Pier courses) that transform the session into an authentic sensory experience for the recipient. The result is a facial treatment that not only acts in depth against pimples, blackheads and acne, but also becomes a true wellness ritual, capable of regenerating the skin and relaxing the senses.
