Want great skin, but not sure where to start?
We’ve got you.
Get that coveted no-makeup-necessary skin you’ve always wanted by starting with three of our bestselling hero products: Crystal Clear clarifying pads, Youth Serum and Sheer Defense SPF.
Formulated for all skin types, Skin Pharm products are paraben-free, phthalate-free and sulfate-free. These three are a great introduction to our line of products — and a good base to build the rest of your skin care routine around.
1. CRYSTAL CLEAR CLARIFYING PADS
Key ingredients: Glycolic acid 5%, lactic acid 5%, salicylic acid 2% and botanical extracts.
There’s a reason why Crystal Clear clarifying pads are our best seller at Skin Pharm. In addition to combating breakouts, these powerhouse pads erase unwanted pigment, tighten pores, reduce signs of aging and fight overall dullness. Acting as a toner step between cleansing and moisturizing, Crystal Clear clarifying pads are powered by salicylic acid to unclog pores, glycolic acid to remove dead skin cells and lactic acid to promote exfoliation while hydrating skin.
Crystal Clear clarifying pads are great for all skin types, too. They’re gentle enough for sensitive skin, but effective in fighting acne, and they’re easy to use. After cleansing, sweep one pad across the entire face, avoiding the eye area — it may tingle upon application as those powerful active ingredients are working their magic — and allow the product to fully absorb.
Build up use gradually in order to prevent irritation. Normal to oily skin types may tolerate daily (or 2x daily) use and need an extra pass through the T-zone, but dry and sensitive skin types may only need 1–3 times per week. They’re easy to fit into your busy morning or late night!
2. YOUTH SERUM
Key ingredients: oligopeptide-10, hyaluronic acid, honey extract, azelaic acid, vitamin B5, allantoin, niacinamide 2%, rice bran extract and green tea leaf extract.
Treat your skin with Youth Serum, the ultimate hydrator that also fights visible signs of aging. This multitasking serum is packed with multi-molecular weight hyaluronic acid to instantly plump and firm your skin. A bioactive peptide fights blemishes and redness, while honey extract and niacinamide soothe sensitive and dehydrated skin. Youth Serum provides superior hydration but is a lightweight, fast-absorbing formula ideal for all skin types.
Youth Serum does wonders for your face — it’s also a great makeup primer. Don't forget to use it on your neck and décolletage, too!
Key ingredients: zinc oxide, octinoxate, niacinamide, vitamin E, hyaluronic acid and knotweed extract.
We constantly get asked, “What’s the best thing I can do for my skin?” The answer is always the same: SPF every day! Fortunately, our instantly absorbing Sheer Defense SPF makes that task easy. This lightweight, tinted, non-greasy formula helps fight the signs of photoaging. It also doubles as a morning moisturizer that primes and protects.
Niacinamide and hyaluronic acid combat fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots and rough texture. Zinc oxide and octinoxate provide broad-spectrum coverage from UVA, UVB and infrared radiation. This free radical fighting formula is ideal for all skin types — normal, combination, oily, acne-prone and even those who experience rosacea.
The sheer tint provides lightweight coverage, replacing your BB cream or foundation. Simply apply to your face and neck every morning as the last step in your skin care routine, and you’ll be ready to take on the day!
