Woman Who Spent Thousands Battling Adult Acne, Shares Top 2 Ingredients for Clear Skin

janeiro 11, 2022 de kwok0781 Deixe um comentário

Mim spent years and several thousands trying to clear up her acne to no avail before she found success with two ingredients.

I am a primary school teacher and I had suffered from clogged pores for the past 8 years. It was mentally exhausting to constantly think that my students would mistaken my acne for chicken pox.

“It was a knock on my confidence to cover my marks with makeup everyday but it was necessary as young children didn’t understand what acne was. My students would often ask me why I was so dotty and mistaken my acne for chicken pox.”

I’ve spent thousands on masks, scrubs, washes, and lotions which claimed to be effective at stopping acne. When they failed to meet their claims, the fallback excuse would be due to “hormonal acne”, which can’t be controlled.

I started taking contraceptives in an effort to regulate my hormones and I also took antibiotics but they did not have a lasting effect to slow down the breakouts.

Prescription topical retinoid lotions have been too harsh to apply to my skin (overdrying and forcing my skin to go into overdrive to produce oil, leading to more breakouts).

“I had been to the doctors several times and was given antibiotics and prescription topical creams which were harsh e burnt a layer off my skin. The over-drying effect caused my skin to overcompensate by producing extra oil, leaving my face constantly with an oily sheen. I even tried cutting out refined sugars and dairy and it didn’t work.” – Mim P.

Once I’ve stopped using prescription topical lotion and antibiotics, I started using limpar e noticed a difference almost immediately. It contains retinol (a gentler variant of retinoids) and AZA that flushes out dead skin trapped inside the pore.

However, limpar is gentil and didn’t cause overdrying or stinging that I had experienced with the prescription topical lotion.

To understand why retinol and AZA work, let’s turn to the experts.

Best Acne-Fighting Ingredients Used By Dermatologists?

Looking at the playbook which dermatologists use to treat acne, retinoids¹ are the dermatologist’s first choice for treatment followed by AZA².

Extensive studies have shown that they work by simultaneously flattening existing pimples while making it harder for future clogs to form³ with less side effects e without overdrying the skin.

Combining BOTH retinol + AZA as a pair to attack acne from multiple fronts will help to stop even the most stubborn adult acne.

“Within a month, most of my actives were gone and I was only left with post-acne red marks.”

I had been misinformed in the past that the post-acne marks I had were lasting scars and the only way to get rid of them was to use dermaroller needles to my face.

I didn’t want to risk permanent scarring from needling at home and visiting an aesthetician was out of the question since they charged up to $1000 for the session.

“I couldn’t find a skincare brand that made a topical lotion effective in fading post-acne red marks but Clearly Basics made a formulation for me!”

[quiz-cat id=”69645″ start_quiz=”GET FREE TOOLKIT”]

o Ilumine-se uses essential oils to reduce the appearance of post-acne red marks and it made a significant difference.

For the first time in years, I’ve gone weeks without using green concealer and can go to work without makeup.

“I’m a lot happier and confident. The Ilumine-se has saved me so much money as I no longer need to buy expensive foundation to cover up my marks.”

I was worried that I would get breakouts just before my period but was pleasantly surprised when I remained clog-free due to the limpar.

Many have asked how I beat acne: I only use very few products in my skincare routine.

ROUTINE ROUTINE ROUTINE. AM: I’ve run out of the @clearlybasics cleanser but I have recently found this @beautykitchen revitalising gel cleanser which I’m falling in love with! It’s very different to what I’m use too but it doesn’t leave my skin dry, tight or irritated which is a rare find. My face looks quite matte after using this and my skin feels soft! I use the @clearlybasics lighten up and dark mark defense on the reddest and darkest points on my face and I know the Clear Out has the rest covered! And finally the matte hydrator to manage my excess oil. I really see a MASSIVE difference when I don’t put on the matte hydrator (not a good difference!). I’m also loving the @beautykitchen BB cream. My first ever BB cream is great! It’s obviously not got great coverage for acne prone skin and reddest though. PM: basically the same again but the toner pops in! I never used to tone but I definitely see the benefits after a longer use now. Also the saviour Clear Out is added! I cannot express my love for the @clearlybasics Clear Out enough! It’s the most important and crucial part to the whole routine! I LOVE the protective moisturiser overnight. It’s just the most beautiful moisturiser I’ve ever had – you can really tell it’s just solely made for acne prone skin (light weight, non comedogenic, soothing, non greasy… UGH it’s amazing end of!). I sometimes like to use the @beautykitchen everlasting moisturiser too because it smells so good it makes me all sleepy at bedtime 😴. The products may seem like LOTS in the PM but obviously if I use the protective moisturiser I wouldn’t use the everlasting moisturiser as well but it put it all in the picture to show you what I do use overall ❤️. #acnepositivity #acne #acneproneskin #skincare #skincareroutine #acneskincare

abril 22, 2021 de kwok0781

Here, we uncover the reasons why acne is so common and reveal the most effective way to get rid of them.

It’s time to clear the confusion about acne – once and for all.

“Stop eating pizza.”
“Try this scrub!”
“Just use this mask every night.”

There’s a TON of ‘advice’ out there on how to get rid of acne.

Sometimes, it feels like we’ve tried them all. But, how many of them really work?

And when they don’t work, what happens?

Many are left feeling even more lost!

The truth is, clearing adult acne can be real simple – just the way it should be.

What’s Causing Acne?

Acne. Is. Prevalent.

That means we’re not alone in this.

A 2016 study¹ from the University of Colorado found that, between 1990 and 2010, acne rates increased 11% among U.S. teens.

And now more than ever, acne in adults is becoming more common² — especially among women.

Could it be changes in our diet? Is it our hormones?

Or, is it the many, many products we’re slapping on our faces with fingers crossed hoping one of them works?

Here’s the thing:

As Professor of Dermatology Dr. Adam Friedman says, it’s possible that acne treatments are to blame³. They could be unbalancing the skin’s bacteria populations (the skin microbiome) in ways that promote pimples and breakouts.

Shocking, right?!

What’s supposed to help can in fact be making our acne worse!

“It’s only during the last 50 years that people started using all these acne products — antibacterials, but also benzoyl peroxide creams and salicylic acid, to name just a few — and now we’re seeing massive numbers of adults with acne.” – Dr. Adam Friedman

Take It from Gemma

Like many of us, Gemma was suffering from clogged pores (which is the root cause of acne).

She had been battling acne since she was 16, trying everything in the book.

That’s almost a decade of trying to find something that really works.

She had spent thousands of dollars on masks, scrubs, washes, creams, and even pills which claimed to be effective at stopping acne.

When they failed to meet their claims, people would tell her, “Oh, you have hormonal acne. It cannot be controlled.”

Now that’s devastating to hear, isn’t it?

This made Gemma lose all hope.

That is, until she found a solution that her skin agreed with!

“I had been to the doctors several times and was given oral meds and prescription topical creams but my skin wasn’t getting any better. Then, I took matters into my own hands. I used the Internet to look up acne hacks and expensive treatments, creams, lotions – anything that was out there, I was buying it. I even tried going vegan. This still did not clear my skin!” – Gemma W.

Pop Quiz: Can These Get Rid of Acne?

1. A Healthier Diet

Ever been told to “drink more water” or “stop eating carbs” to help with acne?

While there is some evidence that specific dietary changes may help reduce the risk of acne, the truth is that there is still NO SOLID LINK between acne and diet⁴.

NONE of the studies have established a clear cause and effect – just an association. So far, what we know is that a pro-inflammatory and processed diet is associated with more acne.

“Diet myths resulted in many people cutting out foods from their diet, and in resultant disordered eating patterns⁵. I have seen patients refuse to eat cake on their birthday, decline dinner with friends, and develop health anxiety around food, for fear of triggering acne. There are inherently no ‘good’ or ‘bad’ foods. Diet is more about eating in a sustained, healthy manner across the course of one’s lifetime. Moderation is key.” – Dr Anjali Mahto

2. Scrubs, Masks, Facials, and Peels

Whether it’s a fancy facial or a DIY mask, these treatments may feel good in the moment.

But, they DON’T stay on our skin long enough to make a difference⁶. Some of the ingredients used may even cause more irritation and breakouts!

3. Acne Spot Treatments

Once a pimple has surfaced, there is little that we can do to stop it since the body needs to send blood into the area to fight off bacterial infection. This means more often than not, spot treatments are not effective.

In fact, over 90% of acne spot treatments use ingredients, such as benzoyl peroxide, which does not have the strength to stop adult acne.

So, What Is the Most Effective Way to Beat Acne?

Let’s take it from the dermatologist’s playbook.

o top two ingredients which derms use to fight acne are retinoids⁷ and AZA.

Why These Two?

Retinoids are the gold standard in promoting skin renewal, reducing blemishes, and stimulating your skin’s collagen production.

AZA is very helpful in flattening existing pimples, diminishing the appearance of post-acne marks⁸, reducing skin sensitivity, and improving skin texture⁹.

To be most effective in beating acne, we’ve combined these TWO ingredients into ONE bottle, limpar.

You see, the key to getting rid of acne is to flush out the clogs trapped DEEP inside your pores to clear out what’s causing breakouts in the first place!

And limpar was formulated with this in mind.

[wpcs_item ids=”18″ coluna=”1″]

Why limpar?

Powered by TWO active ingredients, instead of just one – retinol (a gentler variant of retinoid¹⁰) and AZA
Retinol and AZA are formulated in the right percentages to give MAXIMUM effectiveness and MINIMUM irritation
Developed alongside pharmacists and dermatologists
The result of years of intensive research to work out a synergistic formulation
The unique formulation cannot be found anywhere else
Uses pure, potent, medical-grade ingredients
Gentle on sensitive skin
Over 50% of our users have sensitive or combination skin, and they have no issues using Clear Out

“limpar é meu favorito e produto mais recomendado para qualquer um dos meus seguidores que sofre com acne leve, bem como sofre pós-acne. A combinação de os ingredientes são únicos e trabalhe O MELHOR para manter as manchas afastadas, bem como melhorar as marcas e cicatrizes de acne.

E muitos mais comentários….

Perguntas frequentes

How is Clear Out any different from other retinol or AZA products?

A maioria dos produtos no mercado contém apenas um ÚNICO ingrediente ativo, portanto, não utiliza múltiplas vias para resolver o seu problema de pele.

Using multiple ingredients simultaneously is more EFFECTIVE, but getting the percentages correct in order to maximize synergy is difficult without precision machinery.

Every ingredient in limpar took years to balance in order to maximize synergy: ingredients work together to address your skin concerns with better results and less side effects.

Eu tenho pele sensível. Posso usar o Clear Out?

Clear Out can work on its own for 95% of the population. The formulation is gentle yet powerful enough to tackle many cases that would otherwise require prescription medication.

For the 5% with very sensitive skin, add Protective Moisturizer. Using limpar with Protective Moisturizer will ensure that it works for even the most sensitive of skin. Protective Moisturizer contains a wealth of antioxidants and botanicals that nourish your skin and peptides that simulate your lipid barrier to regrow.

This moisturizer reduces your skin’s sensitivity and reduces general redness/blushing. It doesn’t clog your pores even on the most sensitive skin!

[wpcs_item ids=”31278″ column=”1″]

I have oily skin, what’s best for me?

Acne and larger pores are often attributed to oily skin.

As pores are clogged, oil may not reach its intended target leading to a vicious cycle of overproduction (clogged pores -> more oil production -> more clogged pores).

Thus we designed Matte Hydrator, to break the oil production cycle. It keeps your skin matte and supple so that your skin does not need to overproduce as much oil during the day!

[wpcs_item ids=”31282″ column=”1″]

Most skincare brands have one, perhaps two formulations that are really effective.

However, Clearly carries FIVE formulations that are UNIQUE and the BEST in its class: Clear Out, Lighten Up, Protective Moisturizer, Matte Hydrator and Defesa Marca Negra.

E se não funcionar na minha pele?

Clear Out is so EFFECTIVE that you will get a full 90-day money back guarantee if you do not see a noticeable improvement after your first bottle. T&Cs se aplicam.

This moneyback guarantee has been on every bottle of Clear Out and we have seen over +98% success rate.

Quanto tempo levará para ver os resultados?

No primeiro mês, esta formulação irá desencadear uma purga de pele morta presa nos poros, que pode aparecer como flocos ou erupções de baixo nível.

Essa purga atingirá o pico na semana 5 e diminuirá após a semana 8 de uso. Na semana 10, você terá uma camada de pele mais clara e menos propensa a obstruções. Veja abaixo:

Directions for use?

Clear Out is only used in the evening as part of your night-time routine:

Lave o rosto com um limpador
Apply toner (if applicable)
Aplique Clear Out (loção sem enxágue)
Aplique hidratante ou outros cuidados com a pele que você normalmente usa à noite
