Blemish Essentials - Discovery Kit

Hormonal breakouts are frustrating because typical “acne fixes” often leave sensitive skin tight, stingy, and more reactive. This calm-first duo helps clear the look of clogged pores, smooths bumpy texture, and supports a steadier barrier - so your skin can look more even without the harsh, drying spiral.

  • What’s inside:
    • Bee Calm – daily soothe + clear serum for sensitive, acne-prone skin
    • Resurface – use a few nights a week for pores/texture support
  • Best for: Sensitive skin with clogged pores, blackheads, small bumps, or cycle-linked breakouts “Reactive acne” (breakouts + redness + easily stripped barrier)
  • Use:
    • AM (daily): Cleanse → Bee Calm (1–2 pumps) → moisturize
    • PM: Most nights: Cleanse → Bee Calm → moisturize

How to Use

Resurface
Dispense 2-3 drops of serum onto hands. Gently massage into your face, neck and décolletage using upward strokes. Finish with your favorite Pure + Kiwi moisturizer.

Start Slowly: This product contains natural AHA's, which may increase sun sensitivity. Start by applying every other day, adjusting to twice daily as tolerated. When applying in the morning always follow with SPF 30+ and limit sun exposure. For best results, incorporate into your evening routine.

Bee Calm
Cleanse with Reset cleanser. Then dispense 1-2 pumps of Bee Calm serum onto hands, rub in and pat serum onto face and neck, then smooth it outward in a circular motion. Finish with your Harmony Crème moisturizer.

FAQ

What makes this breakout routine different from typical acne products?
Most acne routines focus on oil control and strong actives first. This set focuses on clearing pores while protecting your skin barrier, so your skin can look calmer and more even without the tight, stripped feeling harsh treatments often cause.

Is this set safe for sensitive or reactive skin?
Yes. Both products are designed for sensitive, redness-prone skin that breaks out easily, helping calm inflammation while supporting a balanced barrier.

Will this dry my skin out?
No. The goal is clearer-looking pores without the dryness spiral. Bee Calm hydrates and soothes while helping rebalance breakout-prone skin, so your skin feels comfortable rather than stripped.

How do I use the set?
AM:
Cleanse → Bee Calm → moisturizer
PM: Cleanse → Bee Calm → moisturizer

2–3 nights per week: Apply Resurface after cleansing to help smooth texture and support clearer-looking pores.

If your skin is very reactive, start with Resurface once or twice a week and build up gradually.

How long does it take to see results?
Many people notice less tight or irritated skin quickly, while clearer-looking pores and more even texture usually appear with consistent use over a few weeks.

Can I use this if my breakouts are hormonal?
Yes. This routine was designed for cycle-linked breakouts and congestion that show up with sensitive skin, helping calm inflammation while keeping pores clearer.

Will this cause purging?
This routine focuses on gentle exfoliation and barrier balance, not aggressive peeling. If your skin is very reactive, start slowly and increase frequency as your skin adjusts.

What if my skin becomes dry or irritated?
Scale back Resurface and continue using Bee Calm daily to keep your barrier comfortable.

Is it fragrance-free?
Yes. Pure + Kiwi products are designed without fragrance or essential oils to keep routines comfortable for sensitive skin.
