{"title":"Aging: 20s-30s + Severe Acne","description":"\u003cp\u003eMany people experience hormonal fluctuations, food intolerances and\/or gut disorders for their first time in their twenties and thirties, so skin can be vulnerable to many unwanted symptoms during this time. The most common ones we see are cystic acne and post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. Though their primary source may be internal, by topically supporting a healthy skin system you can moderate or completely eliminate these symptoms while you work on supporting your internal body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnfortunately, adult onset acne has become an increasingly common condition. It can be a result of unresolved teenage (chronic) acne, improper skin regimens or internal imbalances. Adult “acne” often appears differently than Acne vulgaris (teenage acne) and is commonly limited to 1 or 2 specific areas of the face like the jawline, chin, cheeks, forehead or hairline. It ranges in severity from an occasional hormonal cyst to clustered breakouts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs aging is a new concern at this time, this regimen is designed to treat acne symptoms while providing anti-aging benefits and should be implemented until symptoms are resolved. We advise a less-is-more treatment strategy to begin to reverse the effects of over-cleansing, stripping or exfoliating, by gently nourishing, restoring microbial balance and improving barrier function. These products support an ecosystem in which your residential microbes can thrive. Retinol is essential (as long as you are not pregnant or nursing) because it helps to clear skin while delaying aging by normalizing skin cell development.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- topDesc --\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"regimenDesc\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cscript type=\"text\/javascript\"\u003e\nvar concerns = \"post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, bacterial imbalances, cystic acne, excess oil\";\n\nvar AM = [{\"title\":\"Treatment Mist\", \"essential\": false},{\"title\": \"Treatment Serum\", \"essential\": true},{\"title\": \"Treatment Oil\", \"essential\": true},{\"title\": \"Everyday Coverage Tinted Sunscreen SPF 30\", \"essential\": false}];\n\nvar PM = [{\"title\":\"Treatment Cleanser\", \"essential\": true},{\"title\": \"Treatment Mist\", \"essential\": false},{\"title\": \"Treatment Retinol Serum\", \"essential\": true},{\"title\": \"Treatment Oil\", \"essential\": true}];\n\nvar more = [{\"title\":\"Eye Repair Serum\", \"desc\": \"For fine lines\/wrinkles\/dark circles around the eyes, add Eye Repair Serum after serums (AM+PM).\"},{\"title\": \"Barrier Restore Serum\", \"desc\": \"For dermatitis, add Barrier Restore Serum after Treatment Serum (AM) and after Treatment Retinol Serum (PM).\"},{\"title\": \"Intensive Repair Serum\", \"desc\": \"For cystic acne-prone areas, add Intensive Repair Serum 2-3x\/week before Treatment Retinol Serum (PM).\"}];\n\u003c\/script\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"barrier-restore-serum","title":"Barrier Restore Serum","description":"\u003cp style=\"display: none;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBarrier Restore Serum\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOur skin barrier protects against external assaults, but its most important task is to protect against moisture loss.
