DIY

DIY starts with empowering you.

Even with all the automated tech today, you just can’t throw money at your skin problems or rely on a quick fix. But, this doesn’t mean you have to normalize settling for a life with acne.

From a face full of zits to the occasional bump, we’ve seen it all, learned a lot, and helped nearly 85–90% of our clients clear their skin in an average of 3-6 months. There are no shortcuts — an investment of time, consistency, and the right information are what it takes to get the healthiest clear skin for the long term.

We’ve seen thousands of clients begin to understand how their skin, health, products, and lifestyle all affect their acne, and watched them gain more control over their effects and thus, their skin.

We’re empowering and reviving your intuition for lifelong self-care.

This is how you take agency over your own wellness.

This is how you DIY.

Check your products

Is your favorite makeup, face oil or curl cream actually making you break out?

First step, clear out the offenders in your skincare cabinet to clear up your skin.

Use them correctly

Use your new active + acne-safe regimen correctly, and allow time for it to work.

You’ll see your skin change for the better in 2-4 weeks, and clear skin just a season away!

Learn & understand

Empower yourself with knowledge from our library to gain maximum results.

What is acne, how does it work, and how do products, diet, and lifestyle really affect it?

Stay the course

Clear skin takes maintenance, because it’s a lifestyle.

Sharpen and utilize the tools you’ve collected and learned thus far to stay healthy, happy, and glowy.

Check Your Products

Over 80% of products that exist on the market contain comedogenic — or pore clogging — ingredients that will only make your acne worse. Throw in the fact that “comedogenic” is not a regulated term, so what the hell are you supposed to do, use, or avoid?

Enter our product checker, where we’ve dialed in exactly what ingredients harm or help your acne in a super easy to use (and free) tool.

Ditch the bad stuff, stock up on the good stuff, and learn how to use it all correctly for the best results.

Once you see the real truth behind your favorite products, you might have some breaking up to do.

. . . and use the right ones correctly.

Here’s a basic active + acne-safe skin regimen to give you an idea of how it works — this will vary person-to-person.

• Use a non-scrubby face wash that works for your skin type: a foamy one for normal to oily skin, and creamy for normal to dry.

• Apply ice directly onto your face for at least 5 minutes (super important) to relieve and prevent inflammation, speed healing and improve product penetration.

• Apply an acne-fighting exfoliant (toner or serum) — this is the active step, so go slow if you’re just starting out or have sensitive skin.

• Apply a moisturizing SPF for daytime and a hydrating cream at night.

WHY DO I NEED TO ICE?

Learn & Understand

You might have a lot of questions: How long does it take acne to really form and go away? What are my personal acne triggers? Will products alone clear my acne, or do I have to do lifestyle things too?

The answer to these and many other questions will help you understand the relationship between your skin, your acne, the products you use, and the lifestyle you live, plus how they affect you and what you can do about it.

We’ve done all the research (with case studies to back it up), and have compiled our findings here for your ease of use. Use our resources to build your personal acne-library to refer back to and stay on track. We’ll help to fill in that informational gap, giving you actionable items to integrate ASAP starting with the below.
