What is SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense?
SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense is a targeted, oil-free serum for adults whose skin is both blemish-prone and showing signs of aging. SkinCeuticals lists 2% dioic acid, 1.5% salicylic acid, 0.3% LHA, 3.5% glycolic acid and 0.5% citric acid in the blend, which exfoliates, helps keep pores clear and reduces excess oil while improving the look of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone. It is made for oily and combination skin. Apply 4 to 5 drops once daily to clean, dry skin, as a spot treatment or over the entire face. Available at SkinCrew in 30 ml ($115).

The problem
Breakouts do not stop at twenty-five. Many adults deal with clogged pores, shine and blemishes at the same time as their first fine lines and uneven tone, and the products for each seem to work against the other. Blemish formulas made for teenagers can leave skin dry and tight, while rich anti-aging creams feel heavy and seem to invite more congestion.
One serum for breakouts and fine lines.
Blemish + Age Defense answers both concerns with one blend of hydroxy acids. Dioic acid targets excess oil, salicylic acid and LHA work inside the pore, and glycolic and citric acids smooth the surface for a more even, refined look. SkinCeuticals formulates it to avoid the excessive dryness commonly associated with traditional blemish products, in an oil-free, fragrance-free and silicone-free fluid.

SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense: clearer-looking pores and smoother skin in one serum
SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Defense is a dual-action corrective serum for adult blemish-prone skin. It combines dioic acid with lipo hydroxy acid, salicylic acid, glycolic acid and citric acid to exfoliate dead surface cells, help prevent clogged pores and reduce excess sebum. The same hydroxy acid blend improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and uneven skin tone, so one step covers two concerns.
The texture is a thin, fast-absorbing fluid that SkinCeuticals describes as paraben-free, oil-free, dye-free, fragrance-free, gluten-free and silicone-free. It can be dabbed on individual blemishes or smoothed over the whole face, and SkinCeuticals notes that it is well tolerated by most skin types when used as directed. Available at SkinCrew, an Authorized SkinCeuticals US Retailer, with fast US shipping.

Why Blemish + Age Defense Stands Out
- Five acids, each with a job. Dioic acid addresses excess oil, salicylic acid and LHA clear the pore lining, and glycolic and citric acids smooth the surface.
- Built for adult skin. It targets fine lines, wrinkles and uneven tone alongside breakouts, which products made for teenage skin do not consider.
- Spot treatment or full face. Use a drop on individual blemishes or 4 to 5 drops over the entire face, depending on what your skin needs that day.
- Oil-free and silicone-free. SkinCeuticals describes the formula as paraben-, oil-, dye-, fragrance-, gluten- and silicone-free, so it leaves no film on oily skin.

Tolerance and skin type
SkinCeuticals recommends Blemish + Age Defense for oily and combination skin and states that it is well tolerated by most skin types. It is an alcohol-based fluid with several exfoliating acids, so start once daily, expect a brief tingle, avoid the eye area and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every day.

Can I use Blemish + Age Defense with vitamin C?
Yes. SkinCeuticals places it in the Correct step, after a Prevent antioxidant serum. In the morning apply your vitamin C serum first, such as Silymarin CF for oily skin, then Blemish + Age Defense, then moisturizer and broad-spectrum sunscreen.
Can I use Blemish + Age Defense with retinol?
SkinCeuticals advises keeping retinol to the evening and using Blemish + Age Defense in the morning only if you apply retinol at night. Layering several exfoliating and resurfacing products at once can leave skin dry, so introduce them one at a time.
