Acne isn't just a teen concern
Acne remains the No. 1 skin concern for adults under 40, with No. 2 being their post-acne marks often driven by stress, hormones, and the pace of modern life. To address this, the brand partnered with a community of leading dermatologists, including Global Innovation Partners, Dr. Dhaval Bhanusali and Dr. Muneeb Shah, on an acne line that recognizes the unique skincare needs and routines of adults.
