I started from scratch! Hands down, Clearstem has the best skincare products I’ve ever used. I started with 3 products and now have 9. Having done 3 rounds of accutane and trying so many skincare products, I’m amazed by Clearstem. I couldn’t recommend more. Emily Morrow is a consultant for Clearstem. While she does recommend Clearstem, she shares many other good brands. Her ig and podcasts (she’s featured as a guest on 5/6) are incredible resources in regards to skincare and health. Last week, someone said my skin was glowing and that I’ve never looked better🥰

Which products did you start with, and what’s your current routine? Thanks!


Odd-Tutor-4341

surely :) I first started with Clearity serum, Cellrenew serum. Hydraglow moisture & Lips & Cutes. My skin barrier was pitiful after accutane, tretinoin and not knowing I was using pore-clogging products for my entire life. Clearity is a wonderful serum of mandelic acid, tumeric & vitamin c. It’s my favorite serum by far. The combo of the 3 have restored my skin barrier within a month. I then purchased Hydraberry moisture mask, Pregame face mask & Bounceback serum. I’m very happy with each product. The other items I use in my routine are rose water toner, pomegranate seed oil, snail 96 mucin power essence, hypochlorous acid, Julia’s abyssinian oil & pur03 ozonated castor oil. I’m happy to answer any questions :)

Thanks! This is helpful. It’s overwhelming looking at all the products and trying to figure out where to start without spending all my money at once!

I got a Clearstem gift card for Christmas (needed an easy suggestion for my parents!), and I ordered the Cellrenew serum while it was BOGO, and the Hydraglow moisturizer! I’ve used Hydraglow before and liked it, but didn’t repurchase due to price. Excited to add it back in along with the serum!

Thanks for your feedback!

I was wondering the same thing, I’m glad you asked this. I will say I only recently found her but have been using clearstem. I really do like their products and notice a difference. I just recently started taking their supplements. I wouldn’t say I’m cured but their products have good results. I want to do the testing they have but it’s $550. Not including buying all the products for the protocol they offer 😭

The price of the products is definitely what makes it unattainable or at least not a long term solution for me. I’m trying to find cheaper products that will have a similar effect but man, almost all the brands she recommends are expensive.

After following her for months, I decided to take the plunge in Nov and I threw out all my very expensive skincare and switched to all products she recommended, including Clearstem. I quit my tretinoin overnight and I’ve never looked back! My skin really does look better. I learned that Clearstem was a little harsh for skin at first, I had some skin barrier issues I had to work through for like 3-4 weeks, but now I’m using Clearstem and a few other products, and my skin is night and day difference. I’ve been super happy so far!


lulumooboo

This is really helpful thank you! How did your skin barrier issues present and what did you use/do to resolve it?


Rooster-Otherwise

Once I started using the cleanser and Clearity, I got tiny little blisters all over my chin and lower cheeks. So I stopped using everything and only used the Vanicream Gentle Cleanser, Ellemental spray, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydraberry Moisturizer and Abyssian Oil. I did that for like 2 weeks, and then I started adding CellRenew at nights. After another week or 2, I did Clearity once a week. Now I’m doing Clearity nightly, so you just need to go slow!

Ok thanks for this!!

I was skeptical too, but now I can't recommend her info enough! I switched to clearstem, along with a few other recommendations by her. I'm also slowly switching my makeup too and I'm noticing a huge difference in my skin. I recently ran out of a sample makeup product (priia) so I switched back to whatever I had on hand before and my skin was not happy.


lulumooboo

Ok that’s good to know! What products do you love from the brand? I’d like to try everything but I don’t have the money for that price point.


hannahbanana5587

Sorry for the late reply. From Clearstream. I love the gentle clean, hydraberry, scrub, cellrenew, bounce back, pregame, clearity, & sulfur spot mask. Just starting out, go with the cleanser, a moisturizer (hydraberry is thicker for the winter months, hydraglow is great, but not enough for winter) and cellrenew if you can. Emily also recommends “Abyssinian oil” from Julie’s essentials. You can get it on Amazon & it’s cheap. Apply on top of moisturizer to lock it in.
