How to Remove Damaging Free Radicals from Your Skin
We are absolutely in LOVE with antioxidants. Why you may ask? It turns out they are the superheroes in our fight against free radicals - those pesky molecules that can damage our cells and cause aging.
A great way to incorporate antioxidants into your skincare routine is to use an antioxidant cleanser that will cleanse and remove damaging free radicals from your skin. Our newest cleanser, Green Tea and Pomegranate Antioxidant Cleanser, pulls together antioxidants from some of our favorite components into one face wash that will restore, rejuvenate, and hydrate the skin.
Here’s how it all works…
Benefits of Green Tea:
It’s an anti-inflammatory: Green tea is packed full of antioxidants which help calm the skin. This is a huge benefit for those with sensitive skin, rosacea, or if you’re dealing with harsh winter temps.
It protects you from environmental toxins and carcinogens: The powerful antioxidants actually promote DNA repair and help prevent skin cancer.
It promotes younger looking skin: Vitamins within green tea provide anti-aging compounds that stimulate cellular regeneration.
Benefits of Pomegranate:
It brightens skin: Pomegranates contain loads of Vitamin
C which helps regenerate cells leaving your skin looking younger, brighter and
with less dark spots.
It relieves mild breakouts: Pomegranate has been shown to
hinder growth of certain types of acne causing bacteria.
It’s also an anti-inflammatory: Why stop with just Green
Tea? Pomegranate also has natural
anti-inflammatory properties to soothe the skin and alleviate redness and
puffiness.
Other Awesome Ingredients in the Cleanser:
Allantoin:
An amazing addition to the cleanser that helps moisturize skin and also
increases the water content of your cells. It helps with skin smoothness and
promotes cell longevity.
Niacinamide: An effective
skin-restoring ingredient that offers multiple benefits for aging skin
including the ability to visibly improve the appearance of enlarged pores, fine
lines, and dullness.
Oh, by the way… This fun, refreshing cleanser is also great at removing makeup! Use it before – or alternate with - our BPO 10% Cleanser + Scrub for an ultimate clean, clear face.
Now that you know, you might wonder why you haven’t been using these ingredients before! It’s time to get all the goodness of these amazing antioxidant products all in one bottle with our Green Tea and Pomegranate Antioxidant Cleanser.

beyond complexion Frequently Asked Questions
You've got questions. We've got answers.
The skin care questions you want answers to.
Working with patients and clients who deal with an array of issues from pre-teen breakouts to over-the-hill aging skin, we've heard almost every question out there about skin care.
Here are a few of the questions we get asked ALL the time and the answers to them...because we know you were wanting to ask them too! {By the way, keep coming back as we'll be updating with new questions and answers all the time!}
Can ice really help your skin?
Yes! Ice is an all around team player when it comes to great looking skin. Ice can help with inflammatory acne flare-ups, blemishes and can even help in the rejuvenation of your skin. In fact, look no further than your freezer to help with puffy eyes, and to help products sink into your skin even faster.
Ice is an easy addition to your routine. Once you've cleansed your face (check out our awesome facewashes here), ice for fifteen minutes by moving and lifting the ice cube every five seconds all around the face. The ice prepares your skin to absorb your skin care products even faster - helping to produce more peeling and thus more rapid clearing. A little trick we love is making ice cubes out of chamomile tea - as both the ice and the chamomile help calm inflammation.
If you've had extractions that day, up the time to 30 minutes to help promote clearing and to heal the inflammation.
If you are in the middle of peeling treatments, then we suggest using a soft cloth dipped in cold water to create a cold compress to place on the face to help with overall inflammation.
What is the difference between beyond complexion's BPO cleanser and other benzoyl peroxide products?
The Benzoyl beyond complexion uses is micronized - which means it is broken into very fine particles. This allows us to have a higher concentration without the irritation. When combined with exfoliating beads, you get a potent cleanser that penetrates pores quickly and more effectively than standard benzoyl peroxide products. This irritation-free scrub will gently remove bacteria, dirt, and dead cells to clear acne, fast.
Does the order of how you apply skin care products matter?
Yes. You should always go from thinnest to thickest after cleansing.
So, toner, then serums, then gels and then lotions. Want an example of an exemplary skin care routine? Check out our 6 Steps to Glowing Skin and get your skin in shape!
Is it worth it to buy expensive eye cream?
Yes! The price of the very good ingredients is high and that will increase the price of the product. For example, our Intensive Eye Complex is made from effective and powerful anti-aging ingredients such as Swiss apple stem cells—a revolutionary skincare ingredient from the rare Swiss apple—offering unmatched anti-wrinkle power to smooth fine lines and wrinkles.
Should you change skin care routine when the temps drop? If yes, then what updates need to be made?
Absolutely. There is less humidity and the weather is dryer in the winter, so the skin becomes more sensitive. Plus, heaters dehydrate the skin (ugh). It is normal to have flare ups, peeling skin and other issues because of these changes. If you are using beyond complexion's Mandelic Acid 5+ re-texturizing Pads twice a day, make a change to once a day. If you are using them once a day and they are still too drying, use them only three times a week. It is also very important to remember to always start the pads on the forehead, as it is the thickest and most stubborn skin on the face. Ultimately, you need to keep your skin extra moisturized. We suggest using beyond complexion's Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 more than twice a day if necessary.
