Pimple patches aren’t always harmless 😖

I accidentally occluded a strong retinoid under a patch and created what was essentially a mini chemical burn. When you trap potent actives like retinoids or acids under an occlusive patch, pe*******on can dramatically increase… and so can irritation, barrier damage, and prolonged redness.

I used Plated Intense Exosomes to help support the healing process, calm inflammation, and fast track recovery of the damaged skin. Over the last 5 days, the area healed significantly faster and helped minimize lingering PIE (post-inflammatory erythema/redness).

Be careful what you trap under a pimple patch, especially with strong actives. 🫠 I’ve never been more happy to have my Plated Exosomes on hand!

We’ve been working to minimize the appearance of post acne pigment and scarring.

This process for our client has involved multiple chemical peels with targeted TCA cross treatments. This stimulates new collagen production in areas where acne lesions left behind a depression (scar) in the skin.

We’re plugging along and seeing great process for this young client of ours!

We provide chemical peels, Microneedling and other scar revision services to address acne scarring and much more here in Gilbert, AZ.

Most skincare providers were taught to memorize products

Real corrective skincare starts with understanding formulations, ingredient function, percentages, and skin condition.

In this webinar, I’m teaching you how to analyze ingredient decks beyond the marketing claims and apply the Assess, Match, Plan method clinically.

Because the same ingredient can heal or harm the skin depending on context.

Two years later and still clear 🤍

When she first came to CC Skin, her acne was inflamed, painful, and affecting her confidence. We cleared her skin in about 3 months… but what makes this transformation even more special is what happened after.

For the last 2 years, she’s stayed consistent through every season of life, stress, schedule change, and hormonal shift, and that consistency is exactly why her skin has stayed maintained.

Clear skin isn’t usually about being “perfect.” It’s about building routines that work long term. ✨

“Why is my acne not going away?”
Sometimes the breakout isn’t the whole story. 👀

Many people focus on the single pimple they can see in the mirror… while missing the daily habits and lifestyle patterns that may be contributing to ongoing acne breakouts.

Things we commonly see triggering acne:
• Dirty makeup brushes
• Sleeping in makeup
• Va**ng
• Dirty pillowcases
• High stress levels
• Energy drinks + poor sleep habits

Acne isn’t just about the clogged pores. Clear skin often comes from looking at the full picture and when we consider skincare, lifestyle, consistency, and internal stressors all matter.

At CC Skin Acne Clinic we take a deeper approach to acne treatment by helping clients identify acne triggers, pore-clogging habits, and routines that may be keeping their skin stuck in the breakout cycle.

If you’ve been struggling with persistent acne in Gilbert or the Phoenix area, we offer customized acne treatments and acne bootcamp programs designed to target the root causes behind breakouts, not just the symptoms.

Clear skin starts when you zoom out. ✨
