About
This routine was created with the goal of taking a fresh approach to acne treatment that doesn’t rely on drying or irritating ingredients. Aids in improving skin’s clarity, texture and moisture balance while calming inflammation.
Cleanser
Pull double-duty on acne with this multi-tasking formula that can be used as a daily cleanser to wash away makeup, excess oil and pore-clogging impurities or left on overnight as a mask for a more intensive treatment that helps clear existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts.
HA Light Restorative Moisturizer
Strike the right balance with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that drenches skin in moisture without leaving it feeling greasy or looking shiny. HA Light Restorative Moisturizer is enhanced with Hyaluronic Acid (HA), known for its powerful moisture-binding properties, and with Peptides to help support healthy skin function.
Daily Acne Solution
Like a deep breath for skin in distress this lightweight, oil free treatment helps calm inflammation and control skin’s sebum levels making it ideal for acne-prone and congested skin. This silky solution is infused with skin-soothing Niacinamide to help reinforce the skin’s barrier and keep moisture in.
Key Ingredients
Azelaic Acid (Cleanser)
Azelaic acid works as an antibacterial agent by inhibiting the protein synthesis, and thereby the growth of P. acnes, a major contributor to the formation of acne within the sebaceous gland. [5,6]
Glycerin (Cleanser)
Glycerin, also called glycerol, is naturally occurring in the skin and has hydrating and protective functions. When applied to the skin, glycerin promotes epidermal barrier repair and elasticity, hydration, and protection from irritation, among other benefits. [1,2]
Glycerin is a powerful humectant and it can help skin retain moisture and balance, while counteracting the drying, skin-irritating effects of certain anti-acne ingredients such as salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. [3]

Hyaluronic Acid (Restorative Moisturizer)
Hyaluronic acid can be used in skin care to replenish lost moisture due to environmental factors and aging. When applied to the surface of the skin, hyaluronic acid can reduce wrinkles, redness and dermatitis. [3,4,5]
Peptides (Restorative Moisturizer)
Peptides aid in reducing and preventing lines and wrinkles by helping the skin to actively generate new cells. An increase in cellular turnover can also help to refine texture and brighten the skin’s appearance.

Niacinamide (Daily Acne Solution)
Niacinamide is a form of vitamin B3, which acts as part of a co-enzyme in stimulating metabolic reactions. [1] The anti-inflammatory properties of Niacinamide can work to calm acne inflammation. Some studies have also shown Niacinamide can control pore size and sebum production reducing the likelihood of acne. [1,2,4]

Genny –
I have been using the acne routine for only 1 week and so far so good, I am noticing that my blemishes are starting to clear up and my skin feels nice and soft. I also like refreshing these products are. I can’t wait to keep using it to see even more great results.
