Better than Botox: My New Clean Anti-aging Skincare Routine

I recently changed up my skincare routine, and I’ve been blown away at the effectiveness of this clean skincare line! I switched over to CLEARSTEM products a few months ago, and the results are beyond what I expected! My skin is the best it’s been in years. 

After turning down an opportunity to receive products from  the brand several months ago, I was at dinner with a friend who mentioned how much CLEARSTEM changed her skin. I also kept hearing about it from a practitioner and colleague I trusted, and I decided to give the products a shot on my own – no strings attached. I used my own money to purchase the products I wanted for a basic regimen. A few months later, and with visible results to speak for themselves, I am a fan! 

If you’re looking for safe ,clean skincare that’s an effective alternative to Botox, anti-aging and cellular turnover and a line of products that won’t clog your pores, you’ve got to try my CLEARSTEM lineup! I had no idea how clogged my pores were before until using this line and the difference it has made in the texture, complexion and appearance of my skin.

Product by Product Breakdown

GENTLECLEAN is a perfect cleanser for those with acne-prone skin. It hydrates, cleanses, and removes waterproof makeup. It’s powerful but gentle enough to use in the morning and night.

VITAMINSCRUB is a scrub cleanser that gently resurfaces and polishes the skin by removing dead skin cells and unclogging pores. It’s formulated with vitamin C, green tea and bamboo particles.

BOUNCEBACK is a powerful peptide serum that encourages skin to repair itself by generating new, healthy collagen – an effective alternative to Botox for preventing fine lines and wrinkles. It contains a blend of growth factors, peptides and collagen-derived stem cells. It’s ideal for recovering from signs of stress, acne marks, UV damage and other environmental triggers such as pollution.

HYDRAGLOW is a stem cell moisturizer with bakuchiol and squalane. It has a rich and nourishing consistency, but the ingredients are not pore-clogging, making it safe for those who are prone to acne. It’s effective for plumping skin and giving it a good glow.

CLEARITY was created to dissolve oils and buildup that clog pores and create blackheads. This gentle yet powerful exfoliating serum contains mandelic acid and vitamin c. It creates smoother, brighter and clearer skin. 

HYDRABERRY is a creamy, rich moisture mask that’s safe for both acne-prone and sensitive skin. It’s perfect for anyone whose skin barrier is compromised or for those who need extra moisture for plumper skin.

CELLRENNEW is an anti-acne and anti-aging stem cell serum that regenerates the skin. It is ideal for hormonal breakouts and acne scars. Its ingredients regulate oil production, halt inflammation and allow skin to re-balance and heal. 

 

A Final Note on Clearstem

CLEARSTEM is the first skincare line I know of that is clean and targets both acne and aging. Now, you longer have to choose one or the other when looking for targeted skin product solutions!

I also love that this company was founded by two women who are passionate about functional medicine. Before co-founding CLEARSTEM, Danielle Gronich had her own decade-long battle with cystic acne. It led her to become an esthetician, where she founded the San Diego Acne Clinic and had such great success with clearing acne that she was coined “The Acne Guru.” Kayleigh Christina is a Certified Holistic Nutritionist with a history of cystic acne. She was finally able to clear it through Danielle’s comprehensive, whole-body approach to skin wellness.

Y’all, I really don’t have enough good things to say about this skincare line. I’ve stated before that Botox isn’t for me. At the same time, I want to take care of my skin, preserve it as best as possible, and age as gracefully as possible. I’ve finally landed on products that feel like a true alternative to toxic treatments like Botox, and I hope you give them a try and see the benefit for yourself, too!
