The best care for skin combines hydration, nourishment, and protection using products tailored to your unique skin needs. It is important to use products that are free of pore-clogging ingredients!
The five skincare basics are cleansing to remove makeup and impurities and exfoliation to clear away dead skin cells and reveal a brighter complexion. Hydration is critical to maintaining plump, dewy skin with ingredients like hyaluronic acid, squalane, or watermelon seed oil. Sun protection with mineral sunscreen prevents premature aging and shields against environmental damage. Repairing your skin with nighttime treatments helps to rejuvenate and restore your skin's balance as you sleep.
The four types of skincare include cleansing to remove buildup, treatment to target concerns like acne or fine lines, hydration to maintain moisture, and protection with SPF and antioxidants to shield against environmental stressors like UV rays and pollution. CLEARSTEM includes these types of skincare products, clinically formulated by The Acne Guru®️ to target acne and aging simultaneously with no pore-clogging ingredients, ever.
Develop a simple, effective routine using non-pore-clogging products. Cleanse morning and night with lukewarm water--hot water can damage skin cells. Apply a hydrating serum, moisturize, and use mineral sunscreen daily. Once or twice a week, treat your skin to a gentle exfoliation or a clarifying mask to keep your pores clear and your complexion bright. Our CLEAR Skin Kit includes the 4 necessary items that make the foundation of your clinical skincare routine easy.
Caring for your skin means committing to a consistent and holistic approach that nurtures your body from the inside out.
Aim to drink at least eight glasses of filtered water daily, and focus on a diet rich in whole, unprocessed foods and fiber-rich options. Choose non-comedogenic skincare products, avoiding harsh scrubbing, hot water, or chemical treatments that can strip your skin of its natural protective barrier. Prioritize quality sleep (seven to nine hours nightly) to give your skin the time it needs to repair and regenerate.
Most importantly, never skip applying mineral sunscreen. Daily sun protection is your most powerful weapon against premature aging, environmental damage, and long-term skin health. Apply it rain or shine, indoors or outdoors. Beautiful skin is a result of consistent, mindful care.
As acne + aging experts, we always recommend using non-comedogenic products in your skincare routine. Start your routine with a cleanser like GENTLECLEAN or < a href="https://clearstem.com/products/vitaminscrub">VITAMINSCRUB to gently remove makeup and impurities. Follow with a hydrating serum or barrier-restoring face oil for balanced moisture.
During the day, always finish with a mineral sunscreen to protect against harmful UV rays. For nighttime, include a rich, plumping moisturizer to lock in hydration, or a serum like CELLRENEW or < a href="https://clearstem.com/products/bounceback-repair-serum">BOUNCEBACK to boost skin repair and leave your skin glowing. Consistency is the secret to great skin!
Improving your complexion starts from within and is supported by using non-comedogenic skincare. Drink water throughout the day to flush toxins and keep your skin hydrated. Remove makeup every night to let your pores breathe. Incorporate gentle exfoliation, consider lymphatic massage techniques (such as Gua Sha) to reduce puffiness and improve circulation, and maintain a balanced diet rich in nutrients.
The perfect skincare routine for beginners is all about building a consistent routine that nourishes and protects your skin with just a few products. Think of your skincare routine as a foundation you'll build upon gradually. Start with a gentle cleanser that removes impurities without stripping natural oils, a lightweight moisturizer that hydrates without feeling heavy, and a daily broad-spectrum mineral sunscreen to shield against harmful UV rays.
As you become more comfortable, you can introduce targeted treatments and serums or solutions for specific concerns. Remember to be patient as your skin needs time to adjust to new products and pay attention to how your skin responds, bio-individuality is always at play!
Daily skincare essentials include a cleanser to remove impurities, a hydrating serum to protect and plump skin, a nourishing moisturizer to lock in hydration, and mineral sunscreen to shield against UV rays. Use CLEARSTEM's Pore-Clogging Ingredient Checker to ensure your products are free from pore-clogging ingredients for a daily routine that’s acne-safe and effective.
The best serum for your face depends on your skin’s unique needs. For hydration, use products with Hyaluronic acid like CELLRENEW, our advanced scar serum. Without unclogging pores first, your skin will continue to break out. CLEARITY®️, an AHA Mandelic Acid serum with Vitamin C and Turmeric, unclogs pores while stimulating new cell growth, which is key to maintaining a healthy skin barrier. If anti-aging is your focus, BOUNCEBACK helps firm and smooth your skin for a more youthful appearance. Always apply serums after cleansing and leave it alone on your face, neck, and chest for at least 10 minutes for maximum absorption.

Apply skincare products in a strategic order to ensure that lightweight formulations are absorbed first for optimal results. Start by cleansing with lukewarm water and gently pat your skin dry. Apply toner if desired, then layer serums from thinnest to thickest. Follow with moisturizer and always finish with mineral sunscreen in the morning.
Layer skincare products from lightest to heaviest consistency. Begin with cleansing, then apply serums, followed by specialized treatments like eye cream. Lock in hydration with moisturizer and finish with mineral sunscreen during the day. At night, skip sunscreen and let reparative treatments work their magic.
Store skincare products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve their effectiveness. Keep products with active ingredients tightly sealed. PRO TIP: Refrigerating certain items like eye patches can provide a refreshing application and extend product life.
Choose skincare products for women based on your unique skin type and specific concerns. Prioritize non-comedogenic formulations that won't clog pores. Look for multi-purpose products like a tinted SPF and versatile mist, and gentle facial washes that streamline your routine. The key is finding products that work specifically for your skin's unique needs.
