The serum aims to provide a solution for those struggling with oily skin and early signs of aging, particularly individuals who have experienced irritation from other products, such as retinol. According to CEO and Co-Founder Danielle "The Acne Guru®" Gronich, many clients face the dual challenge of managing texture and breakouts while also wanting to address fine lines. SMOOTH OVER is positioned as an effective, gentle solution that can be integrated into daily skincare routines.

The key ingredients of the serum include:

- Bakuchiol: A plant-derived alternative to retinol that reduces the appearance of fine lines and improves skin texture.

- Tripeptide-85: A peptide that helps control oil production, keeping skin less shiny and avoiding the tightness often associated with over-drying.

- Plant Stem Cells: Rich in antioxidants, supporting the natural renewal process of the skin.

- Milk Thistle and TXA: Milk Thistle provides antioxidants, while Tranexamic Acid aims to calm redness and even skin tone.

Clinical studies indicate that 96% of participants reported improved smoothness after one use, with 100% showing reduced sebum levels after two weeks. After four weeks, 96% noticed a reduction in redness, and 90% saw improvements in the appearance of fine lines, based on a study involving 30 participants.

The serum can be applied generously to the face, neck, and chest after cleansing and toning, either once or twice daily. It will be available starting October 16, 2026, at clearstemskincare.com.

Founded by Gronich and Integrative Health Practitioner Kayleigh Christina, CLEARSTEM aims to combine the knowledge from San Diego Acne Clinic to create products that effectively target both acne and aging without clogging pores.
