Important note from your beauty expert

The Complexion Clarifying Serum is a groundbreaking NEW product for everyone with oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin. The clinical evidence – Reduction of shine and clogged pores in just 2 weeks – is impressive. The exclusive plant stem cell complex distinguishes this serum from simple salicylic acid products: It calms inflammation and reduces redness while the salicylic acid clears out the pores. The light water-gel formula is perfect for oily skin – it doesn't weigh it down, absorbs quickly, and is non-greasy. Combine the serum with a non-comedogenic SPF 30+ during the day. For particularly stubborn blemishes, I recommend using the Complexion Clearing Masque (10% Sulfur) once a week. Sunscreen is a must – Salicylic acid can increase photosensitivity.
