Megan came to us with moderate, inflamed breakouts that were very sporadic with no real pattern, mixed with non-inflamed pebbles on the jawline (that are often hormonal). Her skin barrier was showing signs of imbalance with oiliness, dehydration, dryness, and redness. We started her on a full skincare routine with supplement support to help clear her breakouts with skin barrier-boosting ingredients. Additionally, we had her alternating her nightly routine to allow for the barrier to repair.
It can take months to make significant changes in the skin. Breakouts WILL still happen during this time, but as Megan shows us, patience and hard work pay off. Celebrate each step of progress!
After three months, her breakouts had cleared enough for us to begin addressing her post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation. At the four-month mark, you can see her skin has made significant improvements, with enhanced clarity, texture, and overall brightened and even skin tone.
