The Good Chemist LET’S BE CLEAR DUO: Skin Care For Adult Acne with Wrinkles

April 4, 2019 · 3 Comments

We recently discovered The Good Chemist. This beauty brand focuses on using only targeted, effective, clinically proven ingredients. This post takes a look at The Good Chemist’s answer to adult acne. Adult acne is a big problem. I thought by the time I got fine lines that I’d long be over acne. Instead, I have wrinkles and acne. We call it Wracne. And wracne is complicated.

TEEN ACNE VS ADULT ACNE
As a teen, I took the scorched earth approach to blemishes. I slathering my face with drying topicals to soak up the excess oil and dry the blemish to smithereens. And I scrubbed with acne washes. But this is too harsh on adult skin and makes wrinkles look so much more pronounced. What is even worse, is some of the moisturizers we use for wrinkles actually exasperate acne.

ADULT ACNE IS A JERK
Adult acne also tends to be cystic acne, and cystic acne pimples are little jerks. Cystic acne forms deep in the skin. Red, large, and painful, cystic acne is hard to conceal and can last for weeks. They are difficult not to poke and prod, and deceptively deep. Cystic acne can leave dark mark that lasts for months, even if you didn’t squeeze, pick or irritate it.

The Good Chemist is an adult approach to acne. It uses only ingredients that treat both wrinkles and acne.

ABOUT THE GOOD CHEMIST

The Good Chemist was founded by a skin care obsessed female chemist. The brand uses only independently tested, clinically proven ingredients in all their formulations.

The Good Chemist keeps skin care simple. Using many products can cause product interaction that irritates the skin. The Good Chemist uses only a few well-designed products that perform exceptionally.

While you do good for your skin, you also help girls dreaming of becoming scientists. Every The Good Chemist bottle you purchase contributes $1 to STEM education programs.

ABOUT THE GOOD CHEMIST LET’S BE CLEAR REGIMEN

This duo is for treating adult acne without sacrificing proper anti-aging skin care.

CLARITY

The Good Chemist Clarifying Duo addresses the hard to tackle adult acne with Clarity.

Clarity combines two acids that purge debris and oil from pores. Salicylic works deep in the pore and glycolic acid clear the surface.

Together, they eradicate pimple-causing ingredients. This eliminates the ability for a pimple to form, even deep cystic acne. Kaolin mattifies, dries out excess oil and existing blemishes without drying facial skin. Cucumber, seaweed, and aloe soothe skin so acne doesn’t appear dry and flaky, which makes it easier to conceal. Meanwhile, Vitamin C and peptides reduce post-breakout inflammation.

I find that Clarity is surprisingly tolerable even with daily use. Glycolic also works as an effective anti-aging peel ingredient. Salicylic acid also promotes collagen production. So if you have to get adult acne, this ingredient combo makes the most out of it.

RADIANCE REPAIR

Radiance Repair is the second product in this duo. It is a Vitamin C serum for adult acne with signs of aging. Does Vitamin C Serum leave your skin irritated and itchy? You aren’t alone. Radiance Repair Serum has two forms of Vitamin C, both are non-L-Ascorbic based. L-Ascorbic Vitamin C is the effective, cheaper yet irritating kind. Radiance Repair contains the other kind of Vitamin C, a stable, non-irritating variant.

Radiance Repair reduces acne inflammation and fades acne scars. Vitamin E makes old acne scars softer and more pliable. A very grown-up sounding peptide Oligopeptide 68 balances melanin production. This supports the ability to fade discoloration.

Radiance Repair also contains soothing Aloe Vera.

OUR EXPERIENCE

We had a chance to try two of The Good Chemist Regimens targeted at our specific skin concerns: anti-aging and adult acne.

THE GOOD CHEMIST ANTI-AGING TRIO

The Good Chemist Trio addresses signs of aging for face and eyes. We love the Youth Boost

The Good Chemist Anti-Aging Trio addresses signs of aging for face and eyes. We especially love Youth Boost for an instant softer, dewier, younger-looking skin.

YOUTH BOOST

If we had to pick just one product from The Good Chemist lineup, this would be it.

We love the effect of applying the Youth Boost because the hyaluronic acid instantly erases the appearance of wrinkles and crinkles on the skin, and makes pores practically invisible.  I feel like Youth Boost instantly knocks a decade off the appearance of my eye area, face and throat, even in unforgiving lighting situations.

It is not greasy or sticky and does not irritate the skin. Most importantly, it layers well with other products. I use Youth Boost layered with my moisturizer, sunscreen, primer, foundation and powder, and experience no pilling of products as can occur with some serums.  I especially like how it softens the eye area without giving a fake expressionless look to the skin. It has long-acting anti-aging benefits from the peptides and antioxidants. It includes one of my favorite peptides, Matrixyl-3000, which jumpstarts collagen production, tricking the body into “repair mode”.

TIP: You are gonna want to slather this on, but it really only takes one pump worth to do the trick.

RENEW BALM

Renew Balm is a 1% Retinol intended for use around the delicate eye area. It is applied nightly. While 1% is a relatively lower dose of Retinol compared to a Retin-a or Renova prescriptions, this dosage is highly suitable for the thinner eye area skin in order to keep it from becoming red and irritated. Even the highly emollient Renova can be too much retinol for the eye area and must be used with caution.

To boost its’ efficacy, it is combined with Matrixyl-3000 to smooth and plump, and Shea butter and jojoba to soothe the skin. This combination provides the best firming and smoothing combo without being overly aggressive on the eye area.

RADIANCE REPAIR SERUM

Does Vitamin C Serum leave your skin irritated and itchy? You aren’t alone. Radiance Repair Serum has two forms of Vitamin C, both are non-L-Ascorbic based, with is the irritating type of Vitamin C. These two vitamins C’s gentler to the skin but still highly effective in fading discoloration, largely due to the inclusion of Oligopeptide 68, which regulates the production of melanin.

Radiance Repair also is far more tolerable for those of us with sensitive skin because it contains Vitamin E and Aloe Vera.

Do you have adult acne? Stay tuned for our upcoming post on The Good Chemist Let’s Be Clear Duo, a targeted treatment for both adult acne and anti-aging.
