What Can CLEARstem do for you?
HYDRATE and HEAL ACNE SCARS without creating new breakouts. CLEARstem balances hormones in the skin and hair follicle. Two critical ingredients are Green Tea and Mushroom extract, which are known as “adaptogens” that help your skin maintain stability despite all the stress it encounters. Women report that the monthly PMS havoc is visibly reduced when CLEARstem is used regularly. Active acne and scabs heal about 3X faster and dark spots fade quickly thanks to the bio-available collagen stem cells.
How will CLEARstem keep the integrity of your skin?
If you are actively breaking out you MUST check all of your skin and hair products against the list of pore-clogging ingredients we have provided! This is critical to ending the acne cycle; CLEARstem serum will then heal your skin cells back to their original healthy state. Why do you need to check your products? Ingredients like Coconut oil, Isopropyl Myristate and Algae/Seaweed will go into your pore, harden into an orange ball of wax, and stay there for months at a time until it’s manually extracted. It’s critical to know where your skin is at and exfoliate using the Antioxidant Scrub so the clogs can be dissolved. While you are getting clear, CLEARstem will minimize the trauma your skin has undergone so that healing happens faster and hormonal acne will be minimized.

Testimonials
“Clearstem has been an absolute game changer for my skin. I have combination/acne-prone skin and have recently been struggling with hormonal breakouts – since incorporating Clearstem, my breakouts have been much less severe and my skin has been much less inflamed. On top of that it feels so hydrated and balanced – I no longer feel like an oil slick by the end of the day! Can’t recommend this enough.“
“CLEARstem is the absolute best skincare product I’ve ever used! I keep going to buy more and more because I never want to run out. It has helped diminish my acne scars significantly and keeps my skin so hydrated and fresh feeling. The best part is that it’s a non-toxic, clean formula that you can feel good about putting on your skin. “
