Acne-prone Skincare Hasn’t Really Changed in Over 40 Years
We’re here to change that.
The science, along with our understanding of acne has changed over the years but the products and ingredients we use to support acne-prone skin haven't.
in the skincare world, we spend a lot of time focusing on exfoliation and killing c. acnes bacteria (which is great) but there's so much more we can do to suport acne-prone to hel break the cycle of irritation, inflammation and breakouts.
At Authentic Ego, our sole mission is to change how the world thinks about the supporting role skincare plays in helping individuals on their acne journey.
Part of this means treating the skin, body, and mind as an integrated being. Because everything is connected. And getting big results means making small consistent changes every day.
It’s time for a big change, and we can’t wait for you to be a part of the journey.
It’s time for a (BIG) change.
A Note From Our Founder
I was one of the lucky ones who never had acne as a teenager. But in my early 20s, I developed more than one autoimmune disease— my body went through a lot of turmoil and stress while I struggled for years to get properly diagnosed.
A not-so-fun side effect of my body’s turmoil: My skin suffered. We’re talking full-on breakouts and rashes all over my face and chest. Not only were these bumps red and irritated, but they were painful.
I would treat one thing, but that would cause other issues, and I’d always end up right back where I started. It was a constant tug of war, and my mental health was stuck right in the middle.
After years of frustration, I realized that maybe I should stop asking myself what I could do to treat my acne and start asking myself why I was getting it in the first place.
I asked myself why do so many of us (especially women) start to develop new or worsening acne in our 20s and 30s? Why are conventional approaches failing us? And most importantly, what can we do differently to change this?
And that’s how Authentic Ego was born. We’re about pushing boundaries, committing ourselves to change, and using science to drive our mission forward.
It’s not about moving fast, but breaking norms that don’t do us any good.
