Geologie - Clear Skin Face Cream

Hero Ingredients: This formula uses a powerful and gentle trio to keep skin clear.

Azelaic Acid (5%): A highly effective and gentle acid that is fantastic for acne-prone skin. It has anti-inflammatory properties to reduce the redness of breakouts, it helps to kill acne-causing bacteria, and it gently exfoliates to keep pores clear.

Niacinamide (5%): An all-star ingredient that helps to regulate oil production, which is key for preventing clogged pores. It also works to strengthen the skin barrier and visibly improve uneven skin tone left behind by old blemishes.

Hyaluronic Acid: Provides essential lightweight hydration. This ensures your skin stays balanced and doesn't get overly dry from the acne-fighting ingredients, which is crucial for a healthy complexion.

SPF Filters: This formula includes sunscreen to provide necessary daily protection against UV rays.

This face cream is specifically formulated for Acne-Prone, Oily, and Combination skin types. It's an excellent choice for anyone dealing with active breakouts, redness from acne, or post-blemish marks.

Treats and Prevents Acne: Azelaic Acid works to clear pores and reduce acne-causing bacteria.

Calms Redness and Irritation: The anti-inflammatory properties of both Azelaic Acid and Niacinamide help to visibly reduce the redness associated with breakouts.

Provides Essential Sun Protection: Delivers broad-spectrum SPF to protect your skin from sun damage, which can worsen acne and dark spots.

Apply every morning as the final step of your skincare routine.

Step 1: After cleansing your face, dispense 1-2 pumps of the cream onto your fingertips.

Step 2: Gently apply the cream to your entire face and neck.

Step 3: Make sure you apply it evenly at least 15 minutes before heading outside to allow the sunscreen to become fully effective.

This product contains active ingredients and chemical sunscreen filters. While formulated to be gentle on acne-prone skin, sensitivities are always possible.

The 2nd's Recommendation: For external use only. Always perform a patch test on a small area of skin before first use.

This is a really intelligently formulated product for anyone with breakout-prone skin. The combination of an effective acne-fighter (Azelaic Acid) with a daily SPF is perfect because the sun can actually make post-acne marks darker. Using this cream every morning is a simple, one-and-done way to treat your skin and protect it at the same time.

This product is fragrance-free to minimize potential irritation for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

What is Azelaic Acid?
Azelaic Acid is a naturally occurring acid found in grains like barley and wheat. In skincare, it's a multi-tasking powerhouse known for its ability to reduce inflammation and redness, kill acne-causing bacteria, and gently exfoliate the skin. It's considered one of the most effective and well-tolerated ingredients for treating acne and rosacea.

Is this a moisturizer or a sunscreen?
It's both. It's a daily moisturizer that is formulated with hydrating ingredients and active acne-fighters, and it also contains broad-spectrum sunscreen. It's designed to be your all-in-one morning cream.

Can I use this at night?
It's best to use this in the morning, as its protective benefits (SPF) are for daytime. At night, your skin goes into repair mode, so you'd be better off using a nighttime cream focused on repair and hydration, like one with retinol or just a simple moisturizer, without the unneeded sunscreen ingredients.
