What our customers are saying

I'm seriously obsessed with this moisturizer. As someone who struggles with acne, this stuff hasn't ever broken me out and has improved my skin texture like nothing else I've tried!

K.

I’ve been using it for a little over two weeks now and have seen an improvement in the dark spots/post-acne marks I had previously, have been experiencing less breakouts, and my skin has a more even tone overall. Great product!! Definitely a repurchase.

It’s Time For A Change

We’re harnessing the skin’s natural repairing abilities and targeting the major root causes of adult acne breakouts—oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, and barrier dysfunction.

Hi, I’m Christina.

Founder… And fellow acne sufferer.

Authentic Ego was built to bridge the gap between the latest acne science and people just like you—it stems from witnessing the standard approach we’ve been taking to support acne-prone skin for the last 40 years and now, we’re ready to do things differently. We’re focused on principles over products, inspiration over aspiration, and evidence over hype. 

Our formulas are the result of navigating the research and seeing clearly that the current approach just isn’t cutting it anymore. As many of us have come to realize, there’s so much more to supporting acne-prone skin than killing bacteria and exfoliating– especially when you’re an adult. 

The good news is, we’re on a laser-focused mission to radically rethink how we support acne-prone skin. And this mission is for everyone who’s ready to make that change happen.
