Features & Benefits
Features & Benefits
Though traditionally positioned as an issue affecting teenagers, blemishes and imperfections are a common adult condition.
48% of European women ages 30-49 suffer from breakouts. Imperfections may appear as inflammatory blemishes—red, inflamed papules and pustules—or as non-inflammatory blemishes, which are commonly referred to as whiteheads and blackheads. In addition, adults who battle imperfections have a unique set of aging concerns: as oil glands enlarge with age, pores increase in size; the skin’s texture becomes rough; and post-breakout hyperpigmentation can linger long after blemishes subside.
Traditional blemish treatments solely address breakouts, the anti-aging needs of the adult client. Drug therapies can be sensitizing and drying with a low tolerance profile, and do not address hyperpigmentation, fine lines, or wrinkles. In addition, drug therapies can be overly disruptive to facial appearance, accelerating signs of aging in the adult client.
A key member of the Blemish + Age Line Up, Blemish + Age Defense is a targeted, oil-free approach to treating adult imperfections and signs of aging. This 1st-to-market acid blend combines 2% dioic acid with an optimal alpha- and beta-hydroxy acid formulation, designed to prevent the formation of blemishes, minimize hyperpigmentation, and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Salicylic acid and capryloyl salicylic acid combat blemishes; glycolic and citric acids treat fine lines, wrinkles, and roughness; and the addition of dioic acid fights imperfections, reduces excess sebum production, and prevents hyperpigmentation that can cause skin to appear prematurely aged.
Clinical studies on the Blemish + Age Line Up showed significant improvements in inflammatory and non- inflammatory blemishes, fine lines, and uneven skin tone, while displaying exceptional tolerance and lack of side effects. Blemish + Age Defense is a highly tolerable, efficient treatment for aging, blemish-prone skin.
The serum is:
- Powerful, targeted serum to address adult blemishes and signs of aging
- In a clinical study, significantly reduced pustules by week 1, and sebum production and fine lines by week 4
- May be used all over the face to prevent and correct imperfections and aging
- Prepares skin for clinical peel procedures
- Cosmetically elegant formula is ideal for layering with other products and under make-up.

I’ve struggled with acne for the last 15 years of my life and this is the best solution second to retinol. 10/10 would definitely recommend.
Trudie (verified owner) –
One of the best serums I bought in a log time!It makes my skin glow after I put it on!
cindy (verified owner) –
I currently have an active breakout and this serum really helps to heal spots quicker than usual. It doesn’t currently prevent them but it has only been 2 weeks. It’s also not too harsh on my sensitive skin so I can use it once daily!

I think that this is now my favourate SkinCeuticals product. I saw immediate results in the condition of my skin after a few uses. It works very well with the Vitamin C serums in the morning and my breakouts have cleared completely! SkinCeuticals products are not cheap but the samples from SkinMiles are very useful as it helps to determine which products are suitable for your particular skin type. I was therefore more than happy to invest in the full sized bottle.

I have been dealing with the breakouts as an adult for years and have honestly used everything under the sun but this product takes the prize. It cuts inflammation and the life span of a blemish plus it decreases redness. I also use it on old blemish marks and it minimises scars and pigmentation.
Another huge plus is that it refines fine lines and leaves skin silky smooth!

Loving this product.
It has definitely helped with my breakouts. I have been using it in conjunction with the silymarin cf.
Suanne (verified owner) –
This is my second time purchasing this serum and it is worth every cent. It is one of the only products I have used that clears my breakouts and provides me with a radiant glow. It also lasts quite a while – with my previous bottle lasting just over 5 months (use every second day).
Will always have this product in my regime!

I have been recently started using this product in combination with Ferulic and the Glycolic Renewal cleanser – using it more for age defence. Very happy with the results so far.

Karmisha (verified owner) –
I’ve used countless products but this is by far a product people should use if they suffer from acne or marks. Excellent
Ursula (verified owner) –
I received this as part of the Skinceuticals HA promotion and I loved it. I love the finish after application. By the time I finished the 30ml bottle the texture and clarity of my skin was greatly improved. I’ll definitely buy it again ♥️

I used this serum when I had some break outs. It does the job but it also took away some of my skins buster and vibrance. I use it now for spots and breakouts. But I don’t use it daily. It does what it says it will .
Bronwyn Mc Arthur –
I have recently started suffering from hormonal breakouts around my chin area and received this serum as a sample. I use it directly only problem areas and a little goes a long way. It layers beautifully with other products and I have noticed a significant improvement in the healing of my breakouts.
