Realistically, however, we are battling our skin care problems on all fronts, especially when it comes to acne. Sometimes you treat a wayward pimple while dealing with dry or sensitive skin. Other times, clear up your current acne patch while dealing with the look of old, darker acne scars. Regardless of the situation, your skincare routine can turn into a multitasking nightmare.
With the Acne Advanced Treatment System, it's easy to combine a system that treats moderate to severe acne with other products from Eminence Organic Skin Care.
