How Does the UNBLEMISH Regimen Work? Based on Multi-Med ® Therapy, the UNBLEMISH Regimen is a complete skincare system that combines prescription medicines at non-prescription strength with active cosmetic ingredients that penetrate to where the problem originates, stopping acne and treating dark marks before they are visible on the skin’s surface. Furthermore, as dermatologists, we know that sun exposure triggers acne and makes your breakouts more likely to leave remnant pigmented marks, so we’ve included an SPF 20 sunscreen to this comprehensive plan of attack. By combining the right ingredients, in the right formulations, and using them in the right order, the regimen: Kills bacteria deep in the pore to heal blemishes and prevent future breakouts. Helps reduce the appearance of blotchiness and redness associated with breakouts. Deep cleans skin, unclogs pores and calms irritation. Lightens and prevents post-acne marks and discoloration. Protects skin from damaging UVA/UVB rays. Controls oil production and shine.

Take control of blemishes and stop them from controlling you.

With triggers such as genetics, stress, and hormones, acne is the most frequently diagnosed condition by dermatologists and affects nearly 85% of people at some point in their lives. Acne is not just a teenage concern; in fact, it affects approximately 30-40% of adult women.

Whatever your age, the psychological impact can be significant. People with acne suffer from embarrassment, frustration, and low self-esteem. Fortunately, while not curable, acne is treatable, controllable, and preventable.

We developed the Rodan + Fields® unblemish Regimen as a continuous solution that interrupts the acne cycle - clogged pores, trapped oil, bacterial attack, inflammation, and hyper-pigmentation. With daily use over the entire face, this pharmacological-grade regimen helps stop pimples, blackheads and post-acne dark marks from making an unwelcome appearance on your face—and in your life.

Frequently Asked QuestionsMy skin is looking clear. Now what do I do?Acne is not curable but it is treatable, controllable and preventable. If the unblemish Regimen is helping clear your skin, stay on it. There is no limit to the length of time you can use the unblemish Regimen. You can reduce the frequency of use from twice a day to once a day and determine if that is enough medicine to keep your skin clear. If not, increase to twice daily. If you discontinue unblemish, your blemishes are likely to return because the causes of acne are hormonal and genetic.

I only breakout once a week. Do I need the entire unblemish Regimen?Yes. The unblemish Regimen provides the right ingredients, in the right formulations, in the right order, to address all aspects of the treatment and prevention of acne. This Multi-Med® Therapy four-step system includes a combination of acne-fighting and skin-lightening OTC medicines to help clear skin, kill bacteria, prevent post-acne dark marks, control oil production, and protect against UV damage. In order to receive the benefits of the system, the entire regimen must be used on a consistent basis.

How can I use the unblemish Regimen while I shave?First, wet skin with lukewarm water. Using fingertips, gently and evenly massage a quarter-sized amount of unblemish Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash onto entire face for 30-60 seconds, avoiding contact with eyes. Shave with your blade razor, rinse thoroughly, and pat dry. Follow with the remaining treatment steps.

I was using the reVerse Regimen in the morning and the unblemish Regimen in the evening. Should I just use this new formulation of the unblemish Regimen twice a day?Depending on the severity of your acne and brown spots, you may benefit more from the unblemish Regimen twice a day. Please consult the Solution Tool for a customized recommendation from Dr. Katie Rodan and Dr. Kathy Fields. The Solution Tool is located on the Personal Websites of all Rodan + Fields Independent Consultants.

doCtors’ tips

Because it takes 2-3 weeks for a blemish to surface, we find that spot treatments are largely ineffective. However, if an emergency pimple fix is necessary, try applying an ice cube covered with a napkin for 10-15 minutes to reduce redness and swelling, then apply unblemish Dual Intensive Acne Treatment.

Don’t skip the sunscreen. People believe that sun helps to clear up their acne because a tan masks the redness of a breakout and may, in fact, dry pimples up a bit faster. In reality, over time, sun exposure causes breakouts rather than clears them. With every tan, cell turnover increases, building up more dead cells, blocking pores, causing more breakouts. On top of that, UV rays will intensify post-acne dark marks. Skipping the sunscreen is not a viable way to treat acne and will often make it worse.

Benzoyl peroxide can cause bleaching, so we suggest using white towels when using the unblemish Regimen.

If pregnant or nursing, consult with your physician before using unblemish Regimen.
