Exclusive: Rodan + Fields Launches Spotless, a Game-Changing Acne System

According to the cofounders, this two-step regimen is designed to work on mild to moderate acne in teens and young adults and should be used twice a day, followed by a sunscreen in the morning. (We like the Best of Beauty Award-winning Supergoop Unseen Sunscreen Broad Spectrum SPF 40. Both dermatologists emphasize that you need to continue using the system even after your acne improves to maintain clear skin and that the products, which were tested across a wide variety of skin tones, are safe on everyone.

In an eight-week clinical and consumer study of twice-daily use of both Spotless products by teens and young adults, 100 percent of participants — yep, every single person — experienced a reduction in blemish size and visible redness after just one week. After eight weeks, 97 percent saw an improvement in their overall inflammatory acne and 90 percent had skin that was clearer, smoother, and less shiny. (The doctors are presenting their clinical data on BPO2 technology at the 2019 American Academy of Dermatology annual meeting in March.)

For those of you past young-adulthood, Rodan + Fields has something new for you, too. Also launching is a newly updated version of the brand’s hugely popular Unblemish regimen for adult acne. “The two big changes are that the Unblemish Acne Treatment Sulfur Wash is now exfoliating, which our consumers kept requesting,” says Rodan. “The second is that we added more brightening, soothing, and nourishing ingredients such as vitamins B and C, hyaluronic acid, and allantoin to the system’s other products to give adults the most comprehensive approach to acne.”

Though the revamped Unblemish doesn’t include the brand’s BPO2 technology (that specifically targets the oiliness and thick outer layer of teenage skin), the products still feature the system’s signature triple whammy of all-star acne busters: benzoyl peroxide, colloidal sulfur, and salicylic acid.

Reflecting on both of the launches, Fields says, “Katie and I really understand what causes and reduces acne, so with Spotless, we’re now breaking out into the teen category.”

“Hold on — let’s not say we’re breaking out!” says Rodan, with a laugh at the double entendre. “It’s more like we’re breaking through and redefining what acne treatments can do at every single age.”
