SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense Serum

Common stereotypes portray acne as the bane of the teenager: oily, blemished skin, exacerbated by overactive sebaceous glands, adolescent hormones, and less-than-ideal skincare routines. While adolescence is, indeed, a prime time for problematic skin, acne can persist into adulthood. In fact, acne affects 25% of adult men and 50% of adult women.

Acne is a significant concern on its own, but when acne meets aging, skin damage is magnified. When adults are battling acne, they have a unique set of age-related concerns:


• Firstly, overactive sebaceous glands results in enlarged pores

• Secondly, the skin’s texture becomes rough

• Thirdly, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation can linger long after blemishes subside.

• Potent oil-free treatment designed to control acne and correct signs of ageing

• Inhibits sebum production, minimises current blemishes, and helps reduce post-acne hyperpigmentation

• Prepares skin for clinical peel procedures

What are the key ingredients in SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense Serum?

• 2% Dioic acid: reduces sebum production, fights acne-causing bacteria, and reduces post-inflammatory discolouration

• 0.3% Capryloyl salicylic acid: provides precise and even cell-by-cell exfoliation to decongest clogged pores

• 1.5% Salicylic acid: refines pores and helps reduce acne

• 3.5% Glycolic acid & 0.5% citric acids: accelerate exfoliation
