Get Acne Under Control with This Science-Backed Skincare Brand

CLEARSTEM partnered with Beautytap’s diverse community of certified beauty professionals for trusted, detailed, unpaid reviews. We are sharing this post with you as part of this collaboration and to learn more about their brand. All opinions are our own. Thank you for your support.

At a fundamental level, people are remarkably alike. Most of us want to feel joy and success, to love and be loved…and we have skin that protects our miraculous bodies. Skin that changes with age, mood, diet, weather. Effective skincare can help balance these challenges for a brighter and healthier glow, inside and out.

Developed near San Diego, California (a buzzy hive for innovation), CLEARSTEM Skincare sparks positive change with anti-acne, anti-aging formulas and without pore-clogging hormone disruptors. Transformative products—proudly vegan, nontoxic, cruelty free, and gluten free—help fight blemishes and reduce the appearance of fine lines.

Making an Impact

Award-winning CLEARSTEM was founded by two women with a passion for holistic skin health and whole body wellness: “The Acne Guru” Danielle Gronich and certified holistic health nutritionist Kayleigh Christina. In collaboration with a world-renowned cosmetic chemist, they created remedies that reverse acne scars, regulate hormonal oil production, reduce redness, increase elasticity, and improve overall health and wellness.

"The passion we have for helping people far outweighed any possible fear and doubt we had when creating CLEARSTEM,” says Christina. “We know the education Danielle provides at the San Diego Acne Clinic changes people's lives by changing their skin. In starting CLEARSTEM we are bringing the products to a larger audience and making a bigger impact.”

And ladies (we see you in Forbes, Women’s Health, The Skinny Confidential, BuzzFeed, Poosh), you are making waves with these impressive products.

Go with the Glow

Feel ultra nourished by HYDRAGLOW™ Stem Cell Moisturizer. Made specifically to repair your skin’s barrier with long-term results, this satiny cream hydrates, heals, and helps prevent future damage.

My skin feels revitalized and toned by a blend of collagen-building bakuchiol (a plant-based alternative to retinol, full of benefits and sans toxicity), rejuvenating amino acids and peptides, antioxidant squalene and superfood stem cells (vegan, of course), omega-rich hemp seed, curative aloe vera, plumping hyaluronic acid, anti-inflammatory frankincense, and wrinkle diminishing blueberry essential oil. This is a tried-and-true restorative recipe.

“HYDRAGLOW gives you lasting hydration in addition to immediate plumpness,” says Gronich. “We like to say this helps train your skin to look younger while you sleep. It is acne-safe, smells amazing, and is totally corrective."

Hearty yet lightweight, this moisturizer is beneficial for all skin types and gentle enough to use day and night on face and décolletage.

Take a Chill Pill

A nontoxic alternative to pharmaceuticals, CLEARSTEM’s MINDBODYSKIN® Hormonal Acne Supplement helps calm breakouts. A daily dose clears acne by going straight to the source…detoxifying, aiding digestion and metabolism, balancing hormones, and boosting immunity.

This genius formula targets areas of the body that directly impact our skin (because everything is connected in the big picture). Turmeric soothes inflammation, dandelion root supports liver function, glutathione is a powerful antioxidant, vitamins A and B support cellular turnover and control oil production. Ingredients that reduce stress and encourage better sleep are an added bonus.

“The other ingredient that makes this so unique is 5HTP—a serotonin builder that helps your system respond to stress better,” says Gronich. “And we all know that stress is one of the biggest factors that affect acne, but no other vitamin addresses it the way this does.”

I am definitely more luminous when I stress less.

Made for all skin types, ages, and genders, this supplement uplifts with notable results in a speedy 7-10 days according to CLEARSTEM experts (with full effects visible after 3-4 weeks). Word to the wise, always take with food.
