1. How Does the unblemish Regimen Work?
Based on Multi-Med® Therapy, the unblemish Regimen is a
complete skincare system that combines prescription medicines
at non-prescription strength with active cosmetic ingredients
that penetrate to where the problem originates, stopping acne
and treating dark marks before they are visible on the skin’s
surface. Furthermore, as dermatologists, we know that sun
exposure triggers acne and makes your breakouts more likely
to leave remnant pigmented marks, so we’ve included an SPF
20 sunscreen to this comprehensive plan of attack. By combining
the right ingredients, in the right formulations, and using them in
the right order, the regimen:
Kills bacteria deep in the pore to heal blemishes and
prevent future breakouts.
Helps reduce the appearance of blotchiness and redness
associated with breakouts.
Deep cleans skin, unclogs pores and calms irritation.
Lightens and prevents post-acne marks and discoloration.
Protects skin from damaging UVA/UVB rays.
Controls oil production and shine.
4. Take control of blemishes and
stop them from controlling you.
With triggers such as genetics, stress, and hormones, acne is the most
frequently diagnosed condition by dermatologists and affects nearly
85% of people at some point in their lives. Acne is not just a teenage
concern; in fact, it affects approximately 30-40% of adult women.
Whatever your age, the psychological impact can be significant. People
with acne suffer from embarrassment, frustration, and low self-esteem.
Fortunately, while not curable, acne is treatable, controllable, and
preventable.
We developed the Rodan + Fields® unblemish Regimen as a
continuous solution that interrupts the acne cycle - clogged pores,
trapped oil, bacterial attack, inflammation, and hyper-pigmentation.
With daily use over the entire face, this pharmacological-grade regimen
helps stop pimples, blackheads and post-acne dark marks from
making an unwelcome appearance on your face—and in your life.
