Esthetician here! 3 weeks ago my skin was angry, inflamed, dry, rough, dehydrated, congested, and bumpy - today it is noticeably smoother, congestion is gone, redness is soothed, and my skin is happy and I didn't break out once. I have seriously never used a product as amazing as this one. It is so hydrating, healing, and soothing. By far my favorite product I’ve ever used and will recommend to my clients.
Amazing. Acne already going away, my skin was very irritated so wanted something to calm it down but every product out there that calmed Irritated skin has some clogging potential. This is the best moisturizer in the market for my skin hands down.
My favorite Vitamin C serum! Loves how it dries down on the skin. I usually apply this after cleaning and applying a watery toner. After I wait for it to dry I’ll apply a hydrating serum, my moisturizer and then sunscreen
Where do I start! First the creator of AE is amazing! Now, this moisturizer is the best I’ve ever used for my combination skin. It sits so well under makeup, without or just under sunscreen. Doesn’t leave a greasy feel. I have very reactive skin and the first day I used this, my skins flare ups were completely gone! Bumps gone! Redness, subsided! Irritation who?!?

WHERE SKIN MEETS SCIENCE
I created Authentic Ego because we need to revolutionize skincare for adults navigating hormonal and breakout-prone skin.
We’re challenging outdated approaches by focusing on the earliest pathways of acne development. Instead of relying on old science, we weave in the lived experiences of people with acne into our formulas, addressing major treatment gaps the industry has ignored.
We’re creating a safe space for everyone navigating sensitive or breakout-prone skin—specifically accounting for melanated skin and conditions like rosacea, eczema, perioral dermatitis, and malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne).
Our mission is to honor your skin’s unique needs with science-backed solutions that actually work. - Christina, Founder & Head of R&D

Because skincare shouldn’t be confusing. Let’s clear things up.
I founded Authentic Ego because we need a REAL revolution in the acne-prone skincare industry.
As an acne sufferer myself, I recognized that the types of ingredients & actives we've been using for nearly 40 years are outdated, they're not inclusive, and a lot of the time, make breakouts worse.
I develop each and every formula myself, and I make it for every woman out there who has struggled with acne.
Yes, we're the first brand to exclude the 5 types of ingredients that lead to clogged pores, irritation & breakouts.
We're doing what brands don't dare to do by disrupting 40 years of the acne status quo.
While everyone's skin is unique, we're thrilled to report that 98% of customers who try our products experience no irritation, no breakouts and zero reactions.
We choose from a vetted selection of ingredients that are safe for all types of acne-prone skin, and we exclude every single ingredient that has the potential to cause clogged pores, irritation, or breakouts.
We prioritize the use of lab-created, safe synthetics and biotech ingredients over trending, plant-based or 'natural' ingredients that often lead to reactions, irritation, breakouts & dermatitis.
And we're pioneering a new generation of acne-safe formulas based on a different undertanding of what actually clogs pores.
As part of our commitment to providing the highest quality products that are safe and effective, all products undergo 5 tests:
