SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense

It seems to be doing its job. No break out so far. But it might sting a little when applying.

THIS PRODUCT! Let me start by saying I have never written a review for any skincare product, but I will sing Skinceuticals' praises from the rooftops. I have been lucky that I never really had an acne phase... until COVID hit and I moved to Colorado. The cold weather and maskne wrecked havoc on my skin and I tried countless products to no avail (for reference, I had mild whiteheads mostly on my forehead and cheeks from mask wearing). After hearing me complain about my acne, my friend recommended this product. Though its pricey, it is worth every single dollar. I saw results in as little as a week and now, writing this after using it twice a day for three weeks alongside the LCA cleanser, I finally have clear skin! Your face will actually glow once you put the serum on and you can actually see your skin tone even out immediately after you apply it. I don't know what Skinceuticals did when they created this product, but I swear it is the closest thing to magic we have.

I'm so thankful for this product! It's been a blessing from the GOOD LORD! I had been using Retin A to keep hormonal acne at bay. My face was irritated and red. I switched to this serum and I have loved it! Skin is not irritated. Acne is staying at bay! Skin tone is more even and seems to have a glow. Love it!

I really wanted this to work like a miracle on my adult acne that has been worse this year - especially maskne - based on all the rave reviews. I am almost through a bottle while writing this review. I think it has kept my acne at bay but not really eliminated it or decongested pores. There is some but not significant improvements in signs of aging or uneven skin tone. That being said most blemishes do not get to the angry stage and are less blotchy, the product is suitable for combo and acne prone skin.

I love all my SkinCeuticals products but this one is my new obsession. I always just have to assume the others are working since they are more preventive but I can tell almost an immediate difference with this. I've been using it almost a full month and haven't had a single pimple or bump on my skin. I use it before I work out and if I sense a breakout coming I swap this out instead of my Retinol at night and it's been a serious life saver. If you struggle with break outs this is for you!

I've been using this product for about 1 month and have noticed an improvement in my breakouts. I don't think this product dries my skin out like other products have in the past. Happy customer!

I love this serum and the entire skinceuticals line. I have tried almost everything available and these products are the only ones that actually help. I am 40 years old and get most acne on my chin. If I know I'm running low then I will order more right away because I don't want to run out. It is worth the price!

I just purchased and have used this product for about two weeks, and I see clearing of my acne around my T-zone. Expensive however I believe it is working and worth the cost.

I'm in my thirties and get hormonal acne and very oily skin. This serum has definitely helped and has even got rid of the small bumps that were constantly on my forehead.

Has a slight alcohol smell, and is a little drying. It seems to help with my breakouts and helping to dry up my hormonal pimples. Only need a few drops and it help if your face is wet to spread the product.

I have acne prone, oily, sensitive skin and was looking for a product to supplement retinol. The magic doesn't happen overnight, but I saw results after 2-3 months of usage. A staple in my routine.

Love this product, feels like it controls my breakouts. Been using it for about 3 years.

This product was recommended by my facialist and it's my new favorite Skinceuticals product. Helps me keep acne at bay and reduces pore size giving my skin a more even look. Would highly recommend

One of the best acne treatment products. It is very good for adult acne prone skin.

I was lucky enough to get adult cystic acne starting in my thirties. I have tried everything, including from Proactive many years ago to Rx level medication and all of the $$$ top brands. Finally finally I have found something that works, which is the skinceuticals acne set of which this Blemish Age Defense is a part of. I've been using it for a year now and my skin has not looked this good since college (I'm 49). I highly recommend this for cystic and hormonal acne as well as the acne kit, where you can save a little on the three items.

A bottle of this lasts me almost a year. I use this on my chin, where I often breakout. If helps speeds up the healing process of a blemish.

I will never be without this stuff again! It keeps my 35 year old skin looking its best and is the perfect balance for keeping occasional breakouts away but still giving me anti-aging benefits.

I have tried it all & finally found a product that truly works! My skin has made a major improvement since purchasing. I put it on where I typically break out & since I have been using I have had 0 breakouts! I put a couple drops on in the morning & a couple drops on at night. It has helped with scarring & helps smooth my skin. It is pricey but it is so worth it! I highly recommend!! I can't wait to try the rest of the SkinCeuticals products!

I have suffered throughout my entire adult life with periodic break outs. I cannot use drug acne medications because they dry my skin out. I am 48 years old and need something effective yet gentle to my skin. I saw this product advertised at my otologist office and thought I would give it a try. I have been using it for a month now and have noticed a difference in my skin. It has kept the breakouts away and my skin does not appear as oily. There is no irritation to my skin either because I have sensitive skin. A few drops goes a long way. The product is not cheap but it should last quite a while.

This is good chemical exfoliant. Helps prevent acne when used consistently. But in terms of reducing it when you have a breakout, it's certainly not a miracle worker.

I am 38 and I still get really bad acne all the time. This product works well without drying out my skin. It's gentle and a little goes a long way.

I have only been using this product for a couple of weeks, but so far it has helped my blemishes tremendously. My hormones are all out of whack creating hormonal acne that is terrible and I did not have bad acne as a teen. I feel like this solution is really getting to the problem from the core of the blemishes. I love it!

That says it all! If I use this every night, my skin stays under control. I've been able to stop wearing foundation!

I think overall this product was pretty impressive. Although I wish I saw a complete wipe out of blemishes, the amount this product did help was significant. It did not smell at all or leave any film or overly dry out my face at all. I never even noticed it was on! I think overall I would recommend.

This is my daughter’s third bottle. It really helps with her minor breakouts and overall skin tone.

I am coming back to this product after several years due to some recent acne flare ups. it has worked well in the past for me. Just be warned it is strong and does sting a bit.

I have never found a product that helps with acne while addressing aging issues, until now! I’m in love!

Love this product. It changed my large pores and ingrown adult acne but does dry out skin so make sure you stay moisturized!

I have sensitive, aging, acne prone skin. This product does what it is supposed to do. I have to be careful to use it just in the acne areas because I feel a slight burning, but I be have the pealing or discomfort I can get with other products on my sensitive skin.

I use this serum nightly under the Triple Lipid moisture. I am older and can no longer use retinol products, as they are too harsh on my skin. This serum keeps blemishes from occurring and plumps my skin at the same time. I've been using it for years with great results.

I am 30 and started having acne as an adult. This product has saved me. It is really effective and I would highly recommend for someone with acne issues.

Best. Serum. Ever!! It makes my breakouts go away in just a day or two! I love it so much.

This product helps to clear acne and brighten dark marks. Been using it for years.

Goes on smoothly, but smells a little strong. May be too much for sensitive skin. Using as a nighttime treatment.

SkinCeuticals Blemish & Age Defense is worth every penny. Plus a little goes a long way. I am 47 years old and have acne on my chin. It pretty much is gone when I use this product. I was hesitant at first because of the price, but found that one bottle can last six months so in the long run it costs about as much as the other products I was using, but actually works. I am happy I took the leap of faith and tried it out.
