Acne affects approximately 20% of Canadians. Visible blackheads, whiteheads, and pustules often leave scarring and dark marks, impacting confidence. A highly preventable condition that varies significantly among different skin types, finding the right skincare can be challenging in a market flooded with products that promote conflicting results. In fact, 9 in 10 women experience frustration finding skincare products that actually work for them. As the winter season starts to take a toll on everyone’s skin, creating harsh conditions that often require stronger products, it can be even more of a challenge to find what works.
The average woman spends 22.4 minutes a day on her skincare – that’s over 136 hours a year. Leah Corrin, the Founder of BC-based Essence of L, created EOL Medical Skincare as an answer to her own struggles with cystic acne, helping streamline her routine with products that actually drive results. She recommends the following to prep delicate facial skin this winter:
- Sun Kissed($68 CAD): This Acne Safe Hydrating Tinted SPF 46 (also available in a non-tinted version) is a universally lightweight, oil-free sunscreen ideal for oily and acne-prone skin. It contains an innovative blend of skin-soothing and restoring properties, including hyaluronic acid, to replenish the skin with moisture.
- Fill’er In ($175 CAD): Dubbed as filler in a bottle, this uniquely formulated Neodermyl + Copper Complex Serum provides a topical alternative and adjunctive treatment to injectable fillers that improve the appearance of wrinkles, volume loss, rosacea and sun damage.
- Skin Therapist ($250 CAD): This Dual Growth Factor Anti-Aging Moisturizer contains human growth factors, a peptide complex, antioxidants, and other skin-restorative ingredients to combat signs of aging and replenish the skin’s hydration, restoring its youthful appearance.
