Reactive skin is complex—and the support it deserves should be, too. At Authentic Ego, we don’t treat breakouts like a surface issue. We go deeper, developing formulas that work with your skin’s biology, not against it.
Our approach is full-spectrum: rooted in research, grounded in transparency, and designed to target the real science behind adult, hormonal, and sensitive acne.
What We Really Target
Oxidized oil = more inflammation. Our formulas work to preserve the quality of your sebum and prevent the irritation spiral.
The hormonal cascade that leads to excess oil and clogged pores? We target it gently and precisely, no suppressants required.
A disrupted barrier and biome can trigger sensitivity and flare-ups. We work to rebalance the skin’s ecosystem—without over-cleansing or sterilizing it.
A compromised barrier can’t protect, heal, or glow. Every Authentic Ego formula supports and strengthens your skin’s natural defenses.
We're not just building formulas—we're building trust.
Authentic Ego exists to shift the skincare standard for reactive skin. As we grow, we're committed to setting a new benchmark in transparency, sustainability, and evidence-led care.
Here’s what that looks like:
Disclosing the percentage of active ingredients in every product
Choosing biotech and lab-created ingredients over naturally harvested ingredients—they're more sustainable and better for people and the planet
Maintaining price transparency by disclosing what each formula costs to manufacture
Prioritizing re-investment of our profits into research and development so we can expand our arsenal of ground-breaking formulas
What We're NOT Normalizing
We’re not here to check boxes—we’re here to challenge the formulas that have failed reactive skin for too long. At Authentic Ego, our goal isn’t just to be clean. It’s to be clinical, considered, and clear in what we include—and what we don’t.
Most brands talk about what they’re adding. We care just as much about what we’ve left out.
Here’s what didn’t make the cut (for a reason):
Often overlooked, but not by us. These ingredients can oxidize on the skin, fueling breakouts and barrier dysfunction in acne-prone skin.
We avoid the common culprits known to disrupt the microbiome or trigger irritation—because your skin’s balance is non-negotiable.
There’s no aesthetic payoff that justifies increased risk of irritation, photosensitivity, or allergic reaction. You’ll never find them here.
Natural doesn’t always mean gentle. Many botanical extracts are linked to contact dermatitis and inflammation, so we minimize their use—especially those with cross-reactive potential.
This isn’t about fear-based formulating. It’s about formulating smarter—for skin that needs more than the bare minimum.

Actually moisturizing, I have oily, sensitive skin and this is great for people who have fungal acne
I couldn’t be more happier to have come across this brand! Never in my life have I seen a brand that actually understands reactive, everything prone skin! The Ingredient list in sapa is perfection.
I found it to be so soothing and gentle on my sensitive skin. My skin doesn’t itch and it feels hydrating. I do need to pair it with their vitamin c serum to actually make it moisturizing enough for my dry skin.
I’m in love with this brand!!!!
Wow, this is an AMAZING product. I have extremely sensitive skin with rosacea, acne, periodic perioral dermatitis, and random fungal acne breakouts from time to time. My skin is reactive and I have to be super careful with what products I use. I wasn’t sure what to expect with this moisturizer, but the reviews had me hopeful. This is definitely my new holy grail- this moisturizer has completely calmed and helped to clear up my skin. I went from a red tomato with acne and a random fungal acne breakout to having happy, clear skin. I’m not sure what kind of magic this is but I’m so happy to have found this brand and this moisturizer. Please don’t ever reformulate!!!
I’m also excited to give the Tidy Pores a try!
I think I finally found a moisturizer that works for me! I have rosacea and extremely sensitive and reactive skin. Almost every moisturizer irritates my skin, clogs my pores, or causes fungal acne. After two weeks with this, my skin is way less irritated, smooth, and redness is almost gone! This is different from any other moisturizer I’ve used as it’s not creamy and I use a lot less (as directed by Authentic Ego), but it works! So happy with this product and I hope they never change it! Going to try the Tidy Pores next!
Thank you for creating this moisturizer. Its formula is light on the skin but leaves it nourished and sparkling all day long. GAME CHANGER !!!
