This oil-free serum was developed specifically for adult acne and, for the first time on the market, combines 2% dicarboxylic acid with an optimal alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid formulation to reduce the formation of acne and clogged pores while simultaneously improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone.

• Adult acne (Acne tarda, hormonal acne)
• Skin with clogged, enlarged pores & blackheads
• Skin with early signs of aging (fine lines, wrinkles)
• Uneven skin tone & dull complexion
• For daily morning & evening application

Key Ingredients & Their Effects

2% Dicarboxylic Acid (Azelaic Acid Derivative)

Dicarboxylic acid has antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and sebum-regulating properties. It combats acne bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes), reduces redness and inflammation, regulates sebum production, and prevents new blemishes.

Beta-Hydroxy Acid (Salicylic Acid)

Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble and penetrates deep into pores. It unclogs pores, removes excess sebum, reduces blackheads, and has anti-inflammatory properties.

Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (Glycolic Acid)

Alpha-hydroxy acids exfoliate the top layer of skin, remove dead skin cells, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin texture, and promote a radiant complexion.

Special Features in Detail

The first acid blend for adult acne & anti-aging

Blemish + Age Defense is the first serum on the market specifically developed for the dual needs of adult acne and skin aging – perfect for the 30+ target audience suffering from both issues.

2% Dicarboxylic Acid – The Key to Combating Acne-Causing Bacteria

Dicarboxylic acid is a highly effective active ingredient against acne bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes). It reduces inflammation, redness, and pimples without drying out or irritating the skin.

Salicylic acid – deep pore cleansing

Salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores, dissolves blockages and blackheads, removes excess sebum, and prevents new blemishes – ideal for oily & acne-prone skin.

Glycolic Acid – Anti-Aging & Skin Refining

The exfoliating effect of glycolic acid removes dead skin cells, softens fine lines and wrinkles, improves skin texture, and provides a radiant, even complexion.

Oil-free & non-comedogenic – ideal for oily skin

The oil-free, non-comedogenic formula won't clog pores and is ideal for oily, blemish-prone skin – it moisturizes without feeling greasy.

Application

Apply Blemish + Age Defense to the entire face, neck, and décolleté daily in the morning and/or evening after cleansing. 1-2 pumps are sufficient. Gently pat the serum into the skin until fully absorbed. Follow with a light, oil-free moisturizer and a sunscreen (SPF 30 or higher) during the day.

Important note: Due to its exfoliating effect, adequate sun protection (SPF 30 or higher) is mandatory during the day. When using retinol concurrently, apply these products on alternate evenings.

Tip: For maximum results with adult acne, combine Blemish + Age Defense with the Blemish + Age Cleanser and a light, oil-free moisturizer. For drier skin types, a hydrating cream (e.g., SkinCeuticals Hydrating B5) can be added.

Package size: 30 ml – ideal for daily use over several weeks to a month.
