This client came to us with inflamed breakouts on both cheeks, marks from earlier ones and an unbalanced barrier. We started with monthly Face Reality Clear Skin Method Appointments.

We kept the mandelic serum at its starting strength for the whole eight months, because the client's skin kept improving on it. Initially we used Acne Med, but it was drying no matter what we did, and the redness would not go away. Which is why we slowly switched to using the Hydrobiome Serum instead of Acne Med and HydraBalance which replaced 2 products: hydrator and inflamed acne product. It helps manage acne bacteria without irritating the barrier.
