Acne-Prone Skincare Reimagined

We create multiactive formulas designed to support adult and hormonal acne-prone skin in a new way---for all ages and skin tones.

It’s Time For A Change

We’re harnessing the skin’s natural repairing abilities and targeting the unaddressed contributors of hormonal & adult acne breakouts—oxidative stress, lipid peroxidation, microbiome dysbiosis, and barrier dysfunction.

Supportive

We're zeroed in on supporting acne-prone skin by targeting events that happen before acne develops.

Simple

We don't do fragrances, essential oils, or known allergens. We also minimize plant extracts that can lead to irritation.

Researched

We make evidence-based ingredient choices and ignore trends & hype. Every single ingredient is scrutinized for efficacy and acne-causing potential.

Versatile

Fungal Acne, Rosacea, & Eczema safe. We prioritize suitability for all Fitzpatrick skin types and work on all skin tones.

Meet Tidy Pores

A next generation ultra-gentle Vitamin C serum that targets acne, aging, hyperpigmentation & post-acne marks, and hydration concerns in a single product.

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.
