This Strategic Set for adult breakouts includes Intensive Repair Serum, Treatment Retinol Serum, and Treatment Oil.
Breakouts in adults are caused by multiple factors, including skin deficiencies, environmental stressors, microbial dysbiosis, and more. The concerns we commonly see include congestion, enlarged pores, excessive oil, inflammation, breakouts, cystic eruptions, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, and/or dehydration in the skin. Our bodies are trying to tell us something when breakouts show up in the skin. 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 together to refine the skin, diminish breakouts, and address the signs of aging in the skin. Essential micronutrients, EFA’s, and AHA/BHA’S work in tandem to address the contributing factors of breakouts (excess oil, inflammation, and microbial dysbiosis) while also strengthening and supporting the skin system to be more resilient.

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.

AM: Rinse with water and apply Tonic/Mist. While the skin is still slightly damp, dispense approximately 1/4 dropper Of Treatment Oil over face/neck/chest. Follow with Sunscreen (zinc-oxide only is recommended).
PM: Cleanse and apply Tonic/Mist. While the skin is still slightly damp, apply 1-2 pumps Treatment Retinol Serum to face/neck/chest. Alternate nights with 1-2 pumps of Intensive Repair Serum (suggested use 1-3x week). Apply 1/4 dropper Of Treatment Oil over Serum(s).
Notes: As the skin adjusts you may also layer Intensive Repair Serum 1-3x week under Treatment Retinol Serum. Intensive Repair Serum may be used all over as a refining treatment or as a targeted treatment for areas/spots of congestion/breakouts. *Retinol serums should be avoided if pregnant, nursing, or trying to conceive.
If irritation occurs, discontinue use and consult a physician. Keep products in a cool, dry place, out of direct light. Use within 6 months of opening.
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.
Excellent product that improves texture of skin. I use it as a spot treatment over a few days to prevent hormonal acne and weekly to brighten skin and improve blackheads otherwise. It can be drying, but barrier restore serum and treatment oil are enough to counter that.
If I have a small pimple it does heal it super fast. It also kind of renew the skin and makes it more smooth. For blackheads I think it does take more time than what I‘m using it.
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.
