Cleansing Your Skin Before Bed - It Matters!
We know you've heard it before - sleeping in your makeup is one of the worst things you can do to your skin. But what about just washing your face? What you might not know is that sleeping in your makeup or not cleansing your skin before bed - even for just one night - might seem harmless, but over time it can cause extensive damage to your skin.
As you sleep, your skin takes the time to renew itself. When your skin is coated with a layer of, usually oily, makeup or residue from the way, pores get clogged which can lead to breakouts. When the pores are clogged, the skin can't renew itself, causing it to look fatigued, maybe even aiding in the creation of fine lines and wrinkles.
Our solution?
Our Mandelic Acid 5+ Re-texturizing Pads. Easily minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin. These pads tackle a range of skin woes - from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging - and are best used after washing your face in the evening.

Did we mention...
Mandelic acid is a natural anti-bacterial solution. This combats clogged pores while boosting cell regeneration and elasticity. The result? Say goodbye to wrinkles, fine lines, and dark spots.
Tips & Tricks...
Everyone's skin is different, so use every other day to start.
Step 1
Wipe pad across forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!). From the forehead, move to cheek and down to jawline. Then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 2
Repeat on other side of face.
Step 3
Last, apply to nose and chin. Careful around corners of mouth and corners of nose, where skin is more sensitive. *Do not use more than once a day if skin around the mouth is too sensitive.

We know the thought of a long, time-consuming skincare routine can seem overwhelming - especially after a long day or a really early morning.
But, guess what? Clear, glowing skin doesn't require 100 steps to get there. In fact, you can get beautiful skin in three easy steps...
Step 1
Cleanse your skin with our all-powerful superhero cleanser. Our BPO 10% Gel Cleanser with Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide contains specially milled USP-grade micronized benzoyl peroxide particles that penetrate the skin faster. Benzoyl opens up pores, letting peroxide enter to clear out bacteria on contact. This irritation-free gel cleanser will gently remove bacteria, dirt, and dead cells to clear acne, fast.

Want Amazing Skin? Add This to Your Skincare Routine
You need to add Mandelic acid into your skincare routine. Here's why...
Mandelic acid is a powerful, yet gentle acid that goes to battle with the oil, acne, and bacteria that disrupts the skin’s natural glow. Mandelic acid also provides a slight exfoliation, dislodging dead skin cells to loosen clogged pores and penetrating the skin to boost cell regeneration and skin elasticity.
What does all of this mean? If you struggle with blemishes, oily skin, dark spots, fine lines, acne or aging skin (so pretty much everyone!), then Mandelic acid is a must in your skincare routine.

Our Superhero Cleanser is Better Than Ever!
At beyond complexion we are always working hard to make sure we have the best, most sophisticated products that work to clear and transform your skin.
We want the best for you, and we want the best for the world around us. That is why we changed the formula for our BPO 10% Micronized Cleanser. Our BPO cleanser will no longer contain synthetic microbeads as they are just no good for the environment and can cause issues with ocean life. We love the ocean, so anything we can do to keep it clean, we’re going to do.
Have no fear though! Our new BPO 10% Gel Cleanser with Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide is more powerful than ever and will not only combat and clear acne-causing bacteria and prevent future breakouts - it will clear acne on contact!
We are on the hunt for eco-friendly microbeads that are both good for the environment and good for your skin. We are pretty picky when it comes to our products though, so we are continuing our search to find a product that lives up to our high standards. Once we find the perfect new eco-friendly microbead we will let you know.
Thanks for helping us keep the ocean clean!

beyond complexion Summer Series: summer beauty must-haves.
As we move on in our Summer Series, we're talking about the thing that makes all of us groan - acne.
Summer is when you want to be outside - enjoying the lake, beach, or tennis courts. This, however, can lead to a whole lot of sweating which can lead to a whole lot of clogged pores (it's no wonder June is Acne Awareness Month!)
Don't let acne ruin your summer schedule. Go ahead and meet your friends at the pool and combat acne before it happens with beyond complexion's superhero acne-fighting products!
P.S. -> Don't forget to cover up with our non-clogging SPF when you're outside + moisturize with our acne-safe Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30!

Results include: improved skin tone and texture, fewer lines and wrinkles, and acne impactions loosened and cleared. Concentrated formula of Vitamin A propionate and lactic acid with light exfoliation to clear acne, rejuvenate skin and deliver clearer tone and texture.
Mandelic Acid 5+ Re-texturizing Pads
Mandelic acid is a powerful acid that (gently) goes to battle with the oil, acne, and bacteria that disrupts the skin’s natural glow. The pads themselves provide a slight exfoliation, dislodging dead skin cells to allow this potent formula to get down to business. The natural anti-bacterial properties of Mandelic acid loosen impacted and clogged pores while penetrating the skin to boost cell regeneration and skin elasticity.
BPO 10% Micronized Cleanser + Scrub
Specially milled USP-grade micronized benzoyl peroxide particles penetrate the skin faster. Benzoyl opens up pores, letting peroxide enter to clear out bacteria on contact. 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.
Are You Applying Skincare Products Correctly?
You Have the Right Products...Now Learn How to Apply Them
Once you've stocked your cabinets full of our great beyond complexion products, the next step is to make sure you are applying them correctly so you get maximum results!
One of our most loved products is our Mandelic Acid 5+ Retexturizing Pads. They minimize the appearance of pores while exfoliating and brightening skin, plus they help tackle a range of skin woes, from acne to hyperpigmentation to aging. They are easy to use, but we do suggest a specific way to apply them...
How to Apply our Re-texturizing Pads
Step 1: Wipe the pad across your forehead with moderate pressure (not too much at first!).
Step 2: From the forehead, move to the cheek, down to the jawline, and then wipe pad upward to cheek.
Step 3: Repeat on the other side of your face.
Step 4: Apply to nose and chin being careful around the corners of the mouth and nose, where skin is more sensitive.
Things to Note: To start, use every other day in the evening after washing your face. As skin begins to adjust to the product, increase to 2 times a day.
If you are battling active acne lesions or impactions, first apply ice to inflamed skin and then proceed with pads.
Make sure to use a moisturizer that includes SPF, like our Daily Facial Moisturizer SPF 30 or our Vitamin C+ Sheer Defense SPF 30 as skin will be sensitive to the sun after exfoliating.
