#HumpDayHappy: I’m Make-up Free Thanks to Rodan + Fields

October 15, 2014
show-fresh selfie

If there is anything that makes me more uncomfortable than endorsing products it’s sharing pictures of myself without make-up. In fact this will mark the first time I have ever shown my face void of paint in a public forum (unless we’re counting slumber parties, but even then I was known to sneak inside the bathroom before the other girls were awake to slather on some cover-up).

 I have always had terrible skin. I suffered through awful acne as a teen, pretty bad acne as a college student and about the same amount as a young adult. To this day I still get annoying blemishes all over, and not just at “that time of the month.” And to aggravate things further, I touch my skin when I should absolutely leave it alone. See this Valentine to the lady I go to for facials as proof.

Enter my former colleague and current friend Cortney who took a break from her life in Manhattan media to work with Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields, Stanford Med ladies and two of the most well-known dermatologists in the world (aka the creators of Proactiv). After the success of their teen-focused brand, Rodan + Fields wanted to address skin issues among adult women, including adult acne. 

Cortney suggested I road-test the UNBLEMISH line within the set (see below for more details on all the offerings), and I agreed.

Confession: I hoped to GOD it wouldn’t work so I wouldn’t have to post these pictures, but after week three I was singing a different tune. Here’s the scary proof. 

The picture at top is me as of week five, and the difference is obvious. 

Every single day this week I’ve taken the puppy for a walk sans any make-up (yes, I used to wear make-up to walk my dog) and yesterday morning I left the house for a writing session at my local coffee shop with nothing but moisturizer on my face! And if that wasn’t enough, I now know how to take a selfie without looking like I just found out that avocados are not, in fact, “good fat.” 

It’s a win/win/win of a Wednesday.

Not too long ago, the dermatology community believed that only a small percentage of adult women suffered from acne. Today, however, the estimation is closer to 40%. The reasons for this dramatic increase are the emotional stress tied to modern life, hormonal fluctuations, and a greater recognition by the public that period-related blemishes and clogged pores are indeed acne.Pimples on adults are fewer in number but bigger in size, and tend to congregate around the mouth and jaw line. In addition, a significant number of acne sufferers are left with remnant brown/red marks, which can be a long-term souvenir following a healed blemish. These marks, called post-inflammatory hyper-pigmentation, can be as distressing to the acne sufferer as the blemish was in the first place. These marks can be effectively treated with a medicine called hydroquinone, found in over-the-counter products and by prescription. So while acne is not a curable condition and can last an average of 20 years in women, fortunately there are treatments that can keep breakouts at bay for as long as you have acne-prone skin.

The UNBLEMISH Regimen features four full-size products: Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash Spot Fading Toner OR Clarifying Toner Dual Intensive Acne Treatment and Oil Control Lotion SPF 20 UNBLEMISH Regimen is clinically proven to combat the entire acne cycle, this sophisticated regimen helps unclog pores, clears acne blemishes and calms your complexion to keep pimples, blackheads and post-acne marks from making an unwelcome appearance on your face—and in your life.

In an independent six week clinical study, subjects with acne achieved the following results:
  • 59% decrease in the amount of acne
  • 80% decrease in overall skin discoloration
  • 52% decrease in brown spots
