The Science Behind Blemish + Age Defense Serum

How Blemishes Form

Adult blemishes forms when sebaceous glands become enlarged and increase sebum production, blocking pores and the cell renewal process. As a result, blemishes, excessive oiliness, and hyperpigmentation occur.

Blemishes Dos + Don’ts

DO: Focus on Anti-Ageing
Blemishes can enhance visible signs of aging like larger pores, rougher texture, or apperance of wrinkles. Combat signs of aging and address blemishes simultaneously with antioxidants glycolic and citric acid, found in Blemish + Age Defense.

DON’T: Treat Blemishes with One Method
Adults may develop blemishes from hormones, stress, or extrinsic factors like skincare products or hygiene. Use a multi-action routine to effectively treat different triggers.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Henn from Polished to perfection! I received this as a tiny sample. I am mid 50’s with no blemishes (left those behind many years ago thankfully). I used this morning and night for 2-3 days and feel like my skin has been polished to perfection. Some of those eye wrinkles even look a little faded. Not sure if this is the best product (is the salicylic acid one better?) And how this would work with my retinol. Perhaps a monthly intensive - definitely will be using again.

Rated 5 out of 5 by P0307 from Best thing so far for my skin Gosh how many products have I bought when people have wrote ‘nothing has worked, I’ve tried everything but this is the only thing that works blah blah.’ However at 34 having really used insane amounts of skincare since 17, I can say this works for oily combination breakout skin. I hadn’t got into chemical exfoliants yet but my skin is now forever smooth. I still have the odd blemish or patch of those tiny little red spots that don’t come out if I eat bad, but the glow and smoothness I’m getting with this is great. Yes skinceuticals are a little pricier, but why spend more on things that don’t have the backed science like this brand do. If something works, it’s worth however much it costs. I was worried I’d get red with this but I don’t. A doctor at a clinic told me about it and I wish I’d acted sooner on it. I never feel my skin isn’t smooth anymore. Often by the end of a day I’d feel my nose was patchy/oily and want to exfoliate with a scrub, however now this just has my whole skin clearer and smoother!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rosie555 from Less oily cheeks I have been using this serum twice a day for the past 3 weeks. I brought this as I have combination skin which is prone to breakouts which leaves dark marks. Since using this serum I've noticed my cheeks are less oily and my hyperpigmentation is fading quicker than normal. I do get a slight tingling sensation around my nose area after using this serum. It's not painful or intense and only lasts for around a minute. This serum contains glycolic acid, Salicylic acid and Dioic acid which helps to unclog pores and reduce the production of sebum which causes the excess oil on skin. My skin is looking better, more balanced, smooth and the dark marks are fading. As for the smell of this serum, I would describe it as a green plant like smell. It's not strong, just slightly noticeable when you open the bottle. Overall it is working well on my skin so I will keep it in my daily skincare routine.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Sami from Effective I have to say this is not the miracle product some reviewers have made it out to be, so my spots/acne, didn't disappear overnight, however they did gradually reduce and my skin is definitely clearer and improved over time.

Rated 5 out of 5 by LuizaI from The best product for blemish, oily & aging skin I have suffered with blemishes, mostly hormonal, large, pores and oily skin, and just generally very congested, bumpy skin my whole life, and I have tried hundreds of products claiming to do wonders for my skin over the years. I think, after so many different products I have built the experience to be able to say confidently that no product in the market, regardless of the pay point compares to this, I don’t know how it’s doing it, but this product is out of this world, within one application I saw and felt the skin texture change and the blemishes disappear . After a week I had the best skin I’ve ever had in my life, all my blemishes gone, my pores appear smaller, oiliness has reduced dramatically, and my skin feels smooth to the touch, all the bumps under the skin in general and the rough texture has gone. With continued use, I wake up every morning and see the best skin I’ve ever had in my life, sadly it cannot reverse damage or enlarged pores that have been there for years but it gives me back the best version of what my skin can be today. I will buy this product for the rest of my life, if you’re experiencing concerns with your skin that are anything like mine, please do not hesitate to buy this, it will change your life. It sounds like a crazy statement but it changed mine!

Rated 5 out of 5 by Rach from Hope in a bottle! I have been suffering from painful, scarring cystic acne breakouts and this little bottle of magic brought my skin to clear within a week… no joke. My clogged pores are disappearing and my skin feels so soft. I get a small surprise each time I feel my smooth chin. Couldn’t be more impressed.
