    Formerly Treatment Serum, now refreshed + reimagined with the same science-backed, efficacious formula.

    $120.00

    1 fl oz | 30 mL

    Co-enzymes control sebum production, polyphenols soothe + heal.

    This serum's vitamin-rich formula moderates existing breakouts while preventing new acne formation by helping the body break down sebum, which in excessive amounts can clog pores. Hormonal imbalances contribute to sebum over-production. This novel micronutrient approach presents a safe alternative to popular antimicrobial treatments that may cause allergic reactions or premature aging of skin.

    Benefits

    Works with nature to control hormonal-related breakouts.

    Anti-inflammatories modulate the harmful effects of the acne chain of events: infection > breakouts > inflammation > more breakouts.

    Hydrates skin and improves tone and texture.

    Ingredients

    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 individuals with inflammatory skin conditions, including acne vulgaris. In particular, it blocks the inflammatory actions of iodides known to exacerbate acne.

    ARGAN OIL — 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.

      The only thing that works!

      I always have one blemish at a certain point in my cycle. Last night I saw a deep blemish forming on my jaw line. I did a little red light and used this as a spot treatment and woke up and it is virtually undetectable. It is my go to. Prevention. And spot treatment. And it doesn't dry my skin out. Everything just disappears. :) Magic. MV does it again!

      It helps

      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.

      This works!

      I have terrible cystic acne and started using this product every night and every other morning. Within 4 months of use with the Treatment Oil and dietary changes my acne reduce significantly that I stopped using makeup.
