KEY BENEFITS

In a dermatologist-controlled 8-week study of 50 multi- ethnic subjects ages 25-50, Blemish + Age Defence reduced sebum by 39% and improved fine lines by 28% at week 4.
Individual results may vary.
As an anti-ageing serum and blemish serum in one, Blemish and Age Defense is a powerful formula acne-prone skin. Our formula of LHA, Glycolic Acid, Citric Acid, Dioic Acid and Salicylic Acid is a unique combination. This highly efficacious combination targets excess oil and blemish prone skin. As an anti-ageing serum, these ingredients also target rough skin, fine lines and wrinkles.
Clinical results were seen as early as day 2, with Blemish + AGE Defence significantly reducing inflammatory and non-inflammatory lesions.
Additionally, Blemish + AGE Defence also reduced blotchiness and clogged pores for the entire duration of the 8 week study. (Baumann, L. Comparison of clindamycin 1% and benzoyl peroxide 5% gel to a
novel composition containing salicylic acid, capryloyl salicylic acid, HEPES, glycolic acid, citric acid, and dioic acid in the treatment of acne vulgaris - JDD - 2O13).
Blemish + AGE Defence was proven as effective and tolerable as 0.025% tretinoin in both anti-ageing and anti-acne attributes - B+AGE produced statistically superior improvements in skin tone, evenness and clarity, and a reduction in blemishes and blotchiness.
As early as day 2, B+AGE provided improvements in skin tone
evenness and clarity, skin smoothness, skin brightness, clogged pores, blemishes, and blotchiness. Parity was achieved between the two treatments in reduction of fine lines, clogged pores, tactile roughness, and dullness.
At no point during the 8-week study did 0.025% tretinoin statistically outperform B+AGE. (Kircik, L. Safety and efficacy of two anti-acne/anti-ageing treatments in subjects with photodamaged skin and mild to moderate acne vulgaris - JDD - 2012).
After 4 weeks,
Blemish + AGE Defence was proven to statistically reduce the grade of PIH by 19%.
After 8 weeks, it was proven to reduce the grade of PIH by 36% and the number of PIH marks by 29%.
(Protocol: 8-week dermatologist controlled study consisted of 59 subjects. The subject group consisted of males and females of multi-ethnicities, between the ages of 18-40 with skin types II-V that included mild acne and combination to oily skins, with at least 50% experiencing post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation).
