My struggle with acne
I struggled with adult acne for 15+ years. Although I’ve come a long way, I still get the occasional hormonal breakout in my 30s. When I became pregnant this year, my skin became a TOTAL mess! I was like, what is this supposed “pregnancy glow” that people talk about!? I was breaking out more than usual and my pores were clogged AF.
Earlier this year I only tried CLEARSTEM Skincare products for 30+ days and it absolutely cleared up my skin! I even wrote a blog post about it! If you’re not familiar with the brand, their non-toxic skincare line targets acne, anti-aging, and scar reversing using premium ingredients. This summer, I decided to get back on a consistent CLEARSTEM regime to see if it would help me out all my recent hormonal acne. I got my hands on a few NEW products, as well as restocks of my favorites.
After consistent use, my skin improved and cleared up! Keep reading below to find out which products I used. If you decide to try out some of these products out, please use code CLARA for 15% off.

My skin before CLEARSTEM:
I was noticing a lot more clogged pores, redness, and breakouts around my mouth, nose, and forehead. I was on a very simple and gentle regime but I needed something to help reset my skin.
My skin after CLEARSTEM this Summer:
This summer I consistently used the below products:
NEW PRODUCTS I TRIED
- VITAMIN SCRUB
- Gently polishes the skin, removes dead skin cells, and unclogs pores
- I’m using this 3x a week. It feels so gentle & smells lovely. Leaves my skin so smooth after!
- BOUNCEBACK “No Botox” SERUM
- A triple-peptide serum with stem cells and calming botanicals like reishi and B5 to stimulate the skin’s collagen production and help reverse wrinkles & acne scars.
- A bit pricey but this serum helped skin look visibly smoother, healthy, and brighter (I just re-ordered my second bottle)
- PREGAME FACE MASK (for at at-home facial)
- A 5 minute exfoliating mask with AHAs to brighten, resurface, and smooth skin!
- Feels like a spa treatment, I use it 1x a week for glowy skin
- It’s a beautiful color and texture
- NOTE: If you have sensitive skin, it does sting & tingle a bit at first (but tolerable)
- TINTED SUNSCREEN WITH SFP
- Anti-oxidant rich, ultra-sheer, and made with calming botanicals. Zero white cast!
- I’m really picky with sunscreen, but I truly LOVE this SPF. It’s scentless, made with skin-loving ingredients, and non-greasy (a little goes a long way, I use just 1 pump)
- Also works as a primer and leaves my skin looking glowy & healthy
RESTOCKS OF MY FAVS
- GENTLECLEAN Cleanser (hydrating gentle cleanser that brightens, calms, and balances)
- HYDRAGLOW Moisturizer (bakuchiol, stem cells, squalane)
- BRIGHTEYES Eye Gel (botanicals, stem cells, aloe)
