Acne Progress Report: 1 Year


Yesterday I was able to see a client I had last seen in January 2020 BC (Before COVID-19). I'm sharing these before and after photos not just because her skin looks great but because it's proof of what a good routine can do for you. Clear skin, smooth skin—whatever your glow goals may be—is possible with the right products tailored for you.

The before photos are from her very first appointment with me in September 2019 and the after photos are March 2021.
