Meet Countercontrol!
Oily Skin and Acne, you have met your fate!
In 4 years this product line has been one of the most requested and I'm so excited for it to launch! I want to fill you all in on the details of these products and how they work. The technology is quite impressive, which is expected when Xavier Ormancey is at the wheel.
Before I get into all the details I will say that this line is designed for those dealing with oily skin and/or acne prone skin. There is a lot of information here as I wanted to make sure you had all the details so bear with me!
Did you know?
Underlying causes of acne
- overproduction of sebum
- thickening of the outer layer of skin
- excessive and unbalanced bacterial growth
- skin inflammation
What This Line Is All About
There are lots of products on the market geared toward treating acne, but traditional products kill both the bad and good bacteria. This leaves skin dry, irritated and red. This is what makes Countercontrol unique, it is effective at addressing oil and acne, but does not cause the irritation or redness.
It is all about keeping skin in balance.
Other oil and acne products include ingredients like benzoyl peroxide, sulfur, and retinoids that are on our Never List. We formulated Countercontrol with an exclusive blend we call “Skinbalance Complex”. It is a combination of Wintergreen and Rosebay Willow.
Wintergreen provides natural salicylic acid that helps exfoliate and restore the imbalance of bacteria to a healthy level.
Rosebay Willow helps reduce irritation and decrease sebum production.
All products in this collection are the Skinbalance Complex, but the two acne treatment products have a higher level of salicylic acid for maximum acne fighting benefits.
The key to managing acne and oil is to be consistent. You should use the Countercontrol regimen every day, twice a day.
Everyone’s skin goes through skin cell turnover cycles that range from 3-6 weeks depending on age (shorter for younger and longer for older persons). This means you need to stick with it for around 3-6 weeks to see the benefit.
95% of users said their skin was clearer after 4 weeks of using the regimen.

How to pick a skincare collection!
Why do I need a regimen?
If you're like me I love to keep things simple. Maintaining a consistent skin care regimen is important to ensuring optimal performance and results out of your skin care products. As I've gotten older I really began to see the importance of a consistent regimen. Each product is developed with a specific purpose and is designed to work best when used in combination with the other steps in the regimen that is recommended for you!
The icing on the cake is that if you purchase the 4 piece regimen you will receive it at a 10% discount!!!
