This Strategic Set for teen/adolescent breakouts includes Treatment Serum, Treatment Retinol Serum, and Treatment Oil.
Breakouts in adolescent skin are unwelcome, but common. Hormonal surges, excess oil production, and pathogenic overgrowth are the main culprits. We like to remind parents that this is a time when hormones are waking up — it’s not a battle! So instead of taking the conventional approach to acne, which consists of attacking and stripping the skin, our strategy is to support it topically with micronutrients that help it function optimally.
These genius formulations work to reduce excess oil and clear pores to diminish congestion and breakouts. Essential micronutrients, EFA’s, and AHA/BHA’S work in tandem to address true acne symptoms (excess oil, inflammation, and microbial dysbiosis ) while also working with nature to allow the skin to rebalance where deficient.

TREATMENT SERUM
B VITAMIN BLEND (proprietary combination of vitamin B5 plus other micronutrients) controls and regulates the oil production of the sebaceous glands (sebum) by increasing coenzyme A (Co-A), which boosts the metabolic breakdown of oils, mainly sebum, via normal activity of cell physiology.
NIACINAMIDE (Vitamin B3), with demonstrated anti-inflammatory properties, may be of benefit to patients with inflammatory skin conditions, including acne vulgaris. In particular, it blocks the inflammatory actions of iodides known to exacerbate acne.
ARGAN OIL is rich in omega-6 and 9, vitamin E, carotenes, squalene and phenols, with a remarkable ability to nourish, moisturize and improve skin elasticity. It's also known to help control surface sebum, thus eliminating that greasy look.
GREEN TEA EXTRACT powerful antioxidant containing Epigallocatechin Gallate controls sebum production and inhibits bacterial growth.

TREATMENT OIL
ARGAN OIL is rich in omega-6s and 9s, vitamin E, carotenes, squalene, and phenols, and has a remarkable ability to nourish, moisturize and improve skin elasticity. It also helps control surface sebum, thus eliminating that greasy look.
BORAGE OIL is high in GLAs (gamma-linolenic acid), which makes it instrumental in controlling one of the primary contributors to acne, namely, inflammation. Because borage oil also regulates water loss, it is excellent for treating adult acne.
TEA TREE OIL Tests show that tea tree oil is as effective as benzoyl peroxide in combating P. acnes, the major acne-causing microbe. Better yet, it has none of the downside risks associated with BP, like sun sensitization and increased skin sensitivity.
WILLOW BARK contains salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that clears clogged pores by dissolving skin protein from the outside in. Our most effective acne-fighter.

It took some time for my skin to adjust to this product but now I can't live without it! I have seen a huge reduction in breakouts and inflammation, even in my worst problem areas.
So far the result are good, but I think we need to wait altleat a month to really see the complete results.
I had high hopes for this product, but it caused me to purge/break out and I wasn't willing to wait out that process.
This oil absorbs instantly leaving skin matte. It helps to heal small wounds from acne. I have high hopes for it with continuous use. I used it less than a month. Though it is not enough for dry zone, I prefer it over Tammy Fender serum and Vintners daughter serum.
This serum helps me to treat blackheads on the nose. Yes, it stings my skin for several seconds, but for me it means the serum works. I am 54 and on prescription Adapalene gel 0.3 for acne. I use the serum in the mornings only.
