Why Age Adaptive Serum Is Different
Face Reality Age Adaptive Clearing Serum is made for the very specific problem of still dealing with breakouts while also starting to notice texture and fine lines. Salicylic acid works inside the pores, mandelic and lactic acids smooth the surface, and Adapinoid® adds retinoid support over time. So instead of stacking a bunch of different acne and anti-aging serums, you can cover both in one step.
Questions we hear most
Is Face Reality Age Adaptive Clearing Serum a retinol?
Not exactly. Age Adaptive Clearing Serum is a retinoid serum, but the current Face Reality formula uses Adapinoid® (oleyl adapalenate) rather than traditional retinol. The formula also contains 2% salicylic acid plus mandelic and lactic acids to help clear pores and smooth texture.
Who is Age Adaptive Clearing Serum best for?
Age Adaptive Clearing Serum is best for adult acne-prone skin, especially if you’re dealing with breakouts, clogged pores, uneven texture, and early signs of aging at the same time. Face Reality specifically developed the serum for acne-prone, aging skin.
How often should I use this serum?
Start slowly and build up as your skin adjusts. Face Reality recommends gradually working toward nightly use, or following the routine recommended by your esthetician. Apply after cleansing and before moisturizer.
Can I use this with benzoyl peroxide or other acne products?
Yes! Face Reality specifically designed this serum to fit into existing acne routines, including routines with benzoyl peroxide. Because the serum already contains several active ingredients, follow your esthetician’s recommendations when combining treatments to avoid unnecessary irritation.
Can I use this while pregnant or breastfeeding?
Because this serum contains a retinoid, Age Adaptive Clearing Serum should be avoided during pregnancy unless your doctor specifically tells you otherwise. ACOG and the American Academy of Dermatology recommend avoiding topical retinoids during pregnancy; if you are breastfeeding, check with your doctor before use as well.
