In an 8-week study, twice-daily application of Blemish + Age Defense was proven to statistically maintain a reduction in skin oiliness after 1, 4, and 8 weeks of use, statistically reduce the grade of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) after 4 and 8 weeks of use, as well as statistically reduce the number of PIH marks after 8 weeks of use.
Once daily, apply 4-5 drops to clean, dry skin.
