SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense

2% Dioic Acid — naturally derived from vegetables, reduces excess sebum production and helps prevent the formation of acne while minimizing hyperpigmentation 1.5% Salicylic Acid (BHA) — a beta-hydroxy acid that penetrates into pores to reduce breakouts and refine pore appearance 0.3% LHA (Caproloyl Salicylic Acid) — a lipo-hydroxy acid that evenly exfoliates the skin surface, decongests pores, and refines texture with less irritation than traditional BHAs 3.5% Glycolic Acid (AHA) — exfoliates to smooth skin and minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles 0.5% Citric Acid — works synergistically with glycolic acid to brighten and even skin tone

Apply 4–5 drops to clean, dry skin once or twice daily — morning and evening. Use before moisturizer and SPF. Start with once daily and gradually increase frequency as tolerated. Always follow with sunscreen as acids increase sun sensitivity.

Oily and combination skin · Acne-prone and aging skin · Clogged pores and congestion · Hyperpigmentation from past breakouts · Fine lines and uneven texture · Adult hormonal acne

This is our go-to recommendation for patients dealing with both breakouts and early signs of aging — it's one of the few serums that genuinely tackles both at once. Pair it with Silymarin CF in the morning for oily skin patients, or alternate with retinol at night for a powerful anti-aging and clarity routine.
