SKINCEUTICALS Blemish + Age Defense Serum
Serum. Fine lines & wrinkles, problem skin types.
Specifically created for the concerns of the breakout-prone adult, Blemish + Age Defense goes beyond efficiently treating imperfections to also address signs of ageing
Size: 30 ml
DISCLAIMER:
Skin results and statements are based on clinical trials performed by the brand and individual results may vary.
Once or twice daily, apply 4-5 drops of Blemish + Age Defense to a dry face. If sensitivity occurs, decrease usage to once daily, or every second day.
Though traditionally positioned as an issue affecting teenagers, blemishes and imperfections are a common adult condition.
48% of European women ages 30-49 suffer from breakouts. Imperfections may appear as inflammatory blemishes—red, inflamed papules and pustules—or as non-inflammatory blemishes, which are commonly referred to as whiteheads and blackheads. In addition, adults who battle imperfections have a unique set of aging concerns: as oil glands enlarge with age, pores increase in size; the skin’s texture becomes rough; and post-breakout hyperpigmentation can linger long after blemishes subside.
Traditional blemish treatments solely address breakouts, the anti-aging needs of the adult client. Drug therapies can be sensitizing and drying with a low tolerance profile, and do not address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or wrinkles. In addition, drug therapies can be overly disruptive to facial appearance, accelerating signs of aging in the adult client.
A key member of the Blemish + Age Line Up, Blemish + Age Defense is a targeted, oil-free approach to treating adult imperfections and signs of aging. This 1st-to-market acid blend combines 2% dioic acid with an optimal alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid formulation, designed to prevent the formation of blemishes, minimize hyperpigmentation, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Salicylic acid and capryloyl salicylic acid combat blemishes; glycolic and citric acids treat fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness; and the addition of dioic acid fights imperfections, reduces excess sebum production, and prevents hyperpigmentation that can cause skin to appear prematurely aged.
Clinical studies on the Blemish + Age Line Up showed significant improvements in inflammatory and non- inflammatory blemishes, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, while displaying exceptional tolerance and lack of side effects. Blemish + Age Defense is a highly tolerable, efficient treatment for aging, blemish-prone skin.

I have been dealing with the breakouts as an adult for years and have honestly used everything under the sun but this product takes the prize. It cuts inflammation and the life span of a blemish plus it decreases redness. I also use it on old blemish marks and it minimises scars and pigmentation.
Another huge plus is that it refines fine lines and leaves skin silky smooth!

Loving this product.
It has definitely helped with my breakouts. I have been using it in conjunction with the silymarin cf.
Suanne (verified owner) –
This is my second time purchasing this serum and it is worth every cent. It is one of the only products I have used that clears my breakouts and provides me with a radiant glow. It also lasts quite a while – with my previous bottle lasting just over 5 months (use every second day).
Will always have this product in my regime!

I have been recently started using this product in combination with Ferulic and the Glycolic Renewal cleanser – using it more for age defence. Very happy with the results so far.

Karmisha (verified owner) –
I’ve used countless products but this is by far a product people should use if they suffer from acne or marks. Excellent
Ursula (verified owner) –
I received this as part of the Skinceuticals HA promotion and I loved it. I love the finish after application. By the time I finished the 30ml bottle the texture and clarity of my skin was greatly improved. I’ll definitely buy it again ♥️

I used this serum when I had some break outs. It does the job but it also took away some of my skins buster and vibrance. I use it now for spots and breakouts. But I don’t use it daily. It does what it says it will .

I have recently started suffering from hormonal breakouts around my chin area and received this serum as a sample. I use it directly only problem areas and a little goes a long way. It layers beautifully with other products and I have noticed a significant improvement in the healing of my breakouts.
