Beautycounter Transforms 27-Year-Old Man's Acne Journey
You've probably heard me say that Beautycounter stands for safer skincare for everyone, and it truly is for all. You might think of Beautycounter as only for women who want to care for their aging skin, but that's certainly not the case. I've personally witnessed the potential benefits of Beautycounter products on younger, acne-prone skin.
Aren, my 27-year-old stepson, has dealt with acne-prone skin and scarring for most of his teenage and early adult life.
"I tried many different products in high school," Aren said. "Finally, my dad and Angela allowed me to try Accutane to control the severity of the breakouts. It worked, but in the end, it wasn't a permanent solution because my acne returned when I went to college."
That wasn't the only downside Aren noted about Accutane. "Due to the serious side effects and the risk of birth defects, there were many extra steps I had to go through, such as signing forms each time to acknowledge the use of protection and undergoing blood work. Even then, it was challenging to get insurance to cover it. Plus, it was very expensive—over $500 per month at the time."
When I began selling Beautycounter in 2020, Aren started using the CounterMatch Foaming Cleanser, CounterMatch Adaptive Moisturizer, and the Resurfacing Peel to establish a regular skincare routine and take care of his skin.
Since then, Aren has noticed significant changes and clearer skin and loves the results. He has also started using the C Serum in the morning for additional benefits. "The results have been amazing," he said.
The CounterMatch line is specifically designed to nourish the skin and maintain moisture. It incorporates Bio-Mimic Technology that mimics the skin's natural structure, providing optimal hydration and protecting individuals like Aren who struggle with both dry skin and acne. The Resurfacing Peel is a gentle exfoliating solution suitable for sensitive skin. It contains a blend of alpha-hydroxy acids (AHA) and beta-hydroxy acids (BHA) that gently exfoliate the skin, heal acne scarring, and offer anti-aging benefits.
What sets these products apart is that Beautycounter's products are formulated without harmful chemicals such as parabens, phthalates, and synthetic fragrances. This makes them safe for use on all skin types.
