SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense Serum

Clarifying Brightening Serum

Acne & Ageing Skin

Description Summary How to use Key Ingredients Works Well With

SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense is an oil-free serum that helps to reduce breakouts and decongest clogged pores, improving blemishes and uneven skin tone. Additionally, it helps reduce visible signs of skin ageing. Suitable for non-sensitive, oily and combination skins with acne and ageing concerns.

Key ingredients include the first-to-market acid blend Dioic Acid which helps to diminish excess sebum and P.acne bacteria. Capryloyl Salicylic Acid provides precise and even cell-by-cell exfoliation to decongest pores while Salicylic Acid refines pores and reduces breakouts. Glycolic and Citric Acids accelerate exfoliation increasing cell renewal. Dermatologically tested. Fragrance-free.

Dr Webster’s Recommendation: SkinCeuticals Blemish Age Defense Serum is a unique, one-of-a-kind daily serum that targets ageing skin prone to breakouts. It is a very popular product due to its dual-action effect in treating mild to moderate adult acne. Many of my patients grow frustrated due to the fact they have to deal with both visible skin ageing, as well as blemishes usually brought on by hormonal fluctuations. This serum helps to control excess sebum but doesn’t tend to dry the skin out. It is not indicated for very dry, sensitive, or rosacea-prone skins, and should not be used during pregnancy or lactation.  I always advise wearing a high factor broad-spectrum sunscreen when using this product.

Strength: 2% Dioic Acid | 0.3% LHA | 1.5% Salicylic Acid | 3.5% Glycolic Acid | 0.5% Citric Acid Product Size: 30ml SPF: N/A Application Area:  Face Use: PM/AM

  • Introduce this serum slowly until your skin tolerates it if there is any discomfort.
  • Use twice daily in the morning and evening after cleansing with Blemish & Age Gel cleanser and toning with Blemish & Age Solution.
  • Apply 4-5 drops and gently massage into the skin on the face and neck if required. Do not rinse off.
  • When using active ingredients you need to be extra cautious about using a sunscreen during the day.

I am prone to fine white/blackheads and with this product I get no breakouts at all. Cannot go without this!

The whole SkinCeuticals Acne and Aging range has worked wonders for me. I use to have regular breakouts and struggled to find a product that is suitable for aging skin as well. I would highly recommend this range with the serums for anyone struggling with acne at an older age. My skin is radiant and not dull anymore and also feels moisturised and not dried out when using other acne prevention products.

Amy (verified owner) - 2 years ago

Product Rating:

Basically magic in a bottle… I highly recommend this product to anyone who (like me) has struggled with breakouts into adulthood. I wish I’d found this years ago and I’m so glad it’s on my radar now.

I received this serum as a sample, just over a year ago, then thought let me give it a try as I have acne prone skin with pigmentation. At first It had a sting to my skin as I felt it was a bit strong for my sensitive skin. Since using it my skin is looking so brighter and supple. I have not had acne breakouts in a long time, my pores are now minimal. My skin looks and feels great. It also goes a long long way as you only need to use tiny amounts of it. I use it both AM & PM. Don’t forget to use sunscreen with it. I would most definitely recommend this serum.

Larissa (verified owner) - 3 years ago

Product Rating:

I was quite skeptical at first but honestly, this serum is great. I have combination skin, I often have acne but also get dry patches and am starting to see fine lines. I started using this a week ago and have already seen a big difference. My skin has cleared and is looking a lot more refined, my pores seem to have minimized and overall my skin is smooth, bright and healthy. It tingled a lot the first few times I applied it but my skin seems to have become accustomed to it. I’m using it morning and night, and applying my normal day and night moisturizer over it (and of course sunscreen). I have used a lot of different serums in the past and I’ve never had results like this, very impressed!

I bought this product almost a year ago and ran out recently (confirming a little goes a long way). I’ve always loved the glowing and clear complexion I had after applying this to my relatively acne-prone skin. Only now that I’ve run out I realized what a wonderful product this truly is. My skin started breaking out again and my complexion is not as clear anymore. I just re-bought this item as it is evident that I can’t go without it and my skin loves it. Well done Skin Ceuticals, experts in the field!

Bronwyn (verified owner) - 3 years ago

Product Rating:

I received a sample of this product, which is what led me to purchasing the full size. A little goes a LONG way. I have definitely struggled with clogged pores and “maskne” since wearing face masks and this product works like a charm to prevent and clear up breakouts.

Elana (verified owner) - 4 years ago

Product Rating:

Superb product! Had a vast improvement in acne scars, evens out and brightens skin tone beautifully and definitely helps prevent or lessen breakouts. Slight improvement in skin firmness but certainly a good preventative anti-aging buy as well. Expensive but worth it.

Marie-Louisa (verified owner) - 4 years ago

Product Rating:

This product is amazing. Breakouts were less and skin felt awesome. Finally found a product that helped my skin. Will recommend to any one with acne prone skin.

Nikki (verified owner) - 4 years ago

First off, amazing experience ordering with Dermastore, thank you. Personalised directions for use – I was blown away! My skin care specialist gave me a small sample of the Blemish + Age Defence Serum to try out on my breakouts and now I honestly don’t want to use anything else. (I’ve pretty much tried it all!) The serum gets to work immediately. Vastly reduced breakouts. Really speeds up healing. Definite improvement in skin tone. Ah where has this been all my life?! Anyway, so happy to finally have a solution. Will buy forever!

Lisa (verified owner) - 4 years ago

Absolutely LOVE this product, it really reduced my uneven skin tone and my face looks brighter. I received the CE Ferulic as a sample and also really loved that but for now, I will continue to buy the Blemish + Age Defense Serum – such a win!

Makes my skin glow and definitely helps with acne. Tried to live without it for a month after my last bottle was finished but my skin was not happy!

This is one of my favourite products. How can a product improve the overall look of your skin while targeting acne. I didn’t struggle with flaking as I usually do with acne fighting products. Love it and will buy again and again and again.

Elisma (verified owner) - 5 years ago

Product Rating:

This product is MAGIC!
I saw results after a couple of days. It has a beautiful texture and no smell. I will absolutely repurchase this.

Hayley (verified owner) - 5 years ago

Product Rating:

Amazing product. Tingles at first but skin acclimatises after a few days. I could see results after a week – I couldn’t believe how it cleared my blemishes. Love this product.
