How Mentally Draining Acne Can Be
Whether you're 50 or 16 and your breakouts are once a month or multiple times a week, it can be the most futile feeling to constantly find bumps and texture on your face every morning. An acne breakout can feel like the end of all ends. Don't worry, we feel you. We know just as well as you do the torture and pain that our mental health takes when we feel hopeless about our skin. Like everyone is watching, looking and judging those imperfections, you fixate on each day.

When that dreaded spot pops up, it's like acne alarm bells start ringing on your face, and you begin to spiral. Not cool, right? But here's a secret: You've got to work on the inside as well as the outside to get that clear, radiant skin. It's all about treating the root cause rather than just treating your symptoms. Everything is connected, and one domino effects the other.
What you need with your Azelaic Acid Spot Serum
Food
Let's talk food. Did you know inflammation is the party pooper at your skin's wellness wind-down routine? Our gut is known to be our second brain and needs to be adequately fed to perform many bodily functions. e.g., 90% of serotonin production is made in your GUT! That means if there is a problem down there, it will negatively impact your mood and skin! We're all about the anti-inflammatory diet here, a non-restrictive guide crafted by our very own co-founder and acne trooper, Roxy Marrone. Download it when you sign up to our newsletter, try it, live it.

Stress
According to the National Institute of Health, 18% of people with acne declared to be stressed every day, and 75% of US doctor's visits are stress-related symptoms. Stress is like that ex who never gets the hint. It just makes everything worse. But we've got that covered too. De-stress with our Anti-inflammatory Sublingual Hormone Balancing drops. It's like a miracle in a bottle, initially formulated by co-founder Margo for Roxy's Hormonal acne journey. Packed with clinically proven goodies like Timmut Pepper (supports your gut-brain-skin axis, Lemon Balm (supports a calm nervous system), Neem (anti-inflammatory and antibacterial), and Turmeric (anti-inflammatory and immune support).

Now, the outside. We know the urgency, the desperate need to make those spots disappear faster than you can say 'acne'. That's where Margo, our co-founder, chief pharmacist, formulator extraordinaire, and Roxy's mum, steps in. She's whipped up a spot treatment that's the superhero of the acne world. It's got it all - reducing redness, breaking down blackheads and clogged pores, with antibacterial and anti-fungal properties, tamping down inflammation and most importantly, gentle enough to not damage your skin barrier as most harsh treatments do!
