We love a clear skin transformation

"I struggled with acne since I was 12 years old and tried EVERYTHING (strange home remedies, diets, birth control, expensive topical products, prescription creams, OTC drugstore products, you name it!) and my acne only worsened into my later 20s. I was at my wits end when I found Carm’s Instagram. I’d seen hundreds of before and after stories in my life but what made these products seem different was the simple explanation of acne prone pores and the special care they require. I immediately downloaded the list of pore clogging ingredients to avoid and began throwing out my old makeup and products while I waited for my kit to arrive. I committed to the whole process and saw results as soon as the first month. It’s been a couple of years now, and I only get the occasional pimple here and there and they’re so much less severe than before. My confidence has drastically improved and it feels really good to look forward to things without worrying about what my skin is going to look like. I’m endlessly grateful for happening upon these products on Instagram!" - Katlyn

"The Carm Acne cystic acne kit has completely changed my life. I hope I can one day meet Carmen and thank her for giving me confidence I never thought I could have. Thank her for giving me the opportunity to make plans with my friends and not cancel last minute because I don't want anyone to see my face. Thank her for making me feel safe to let my loved ones be close to me and not shy away. Thank her for pulling me out of feeling desperate and helpless. Thank her for giving me freedom and a chance to truly learn how to love myself. Battling cystic acne is so so much more than just dealing with some red bumps on your face. It affects the way you walk through life. That's why I'm so thankful for continuously having access to these products and a life that does not involve waking up in fear of new breakouts but rather with excitement for what life has to offer." - Zane

"I had tried accutane, antibiotics and spends hundreds of dollars on fortnightly facials and treatment to try and control my cystic acne but to no avail every time. Until I tried the cystic acne kit oh my I cannot speak highly enough. I don’t know what drew me to look further into Carm Acne products but i’m so grateful I did. After a couple weeks I started to see a decrease in breakout. Cut to 6 months since starting it I have fully clear skin for the first time. I have my confidence back and feel like myself. I just cannot believe how well these products work it’s honestly changed my life for the better and for the first time in years I feel confident to leave the house without a full face of makeup." - Maddison

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: I am allergic to benzoyl peroxide. Do you offer an alternative product?
Unfortunately, individuals who are allergic to benzoyl peroxide are not eligible for any of our acne kits. That’s because benzoyl peroxide is a key ingredient that plays an irreplaceable role in clearing acne, and daily use is essential for results. Additionally, if you have sensitive or reactive skin in general, our acne kits may not be the best fit due to the inclusion of benzoyl peroxide and alpha-hydroxy acids. If you're unsure whether a kit is suitable for your skin due to allergies or sensitivities, please email us at info@LuminositySkincare.com before making a purchase.

Q: What additional investments do I need to make?
Your kit products will last approximately 2–4 months, provided they are not being overused. By month 2, most—but not all—customers will need to repurchase a different strength of the Mandelic Maven Serum and Benzoyl with Benefits (your kit manual will guide you on which new strength to choose). The rest of your products should last around 3–4 months.

To maintain your results, you’ll need to continue using the products consistently until you are no longer acne-prone. See below for more details on how long each product typically lasts:


• Luminous Gentle Cleanser for face | 3 months

• Mandelic Maven Serum for face | 2 months

• Benzoyl with Benefits for face | 2 months

• Daily Habit SPF 30 for face | 3 months

• Opulent Moisture Cream for face | 2-4 months

Q: Will your kit cause dry skin? I don't want my skin to dry out.
This kit may cause dry and flaking skin. This is a normal part of the clearing process—all effective acne products dry out the skin to some degree, not just Carm Acne products. The flaking you see is a result of exfoliation at work.

If you're not comfortable with some dryness or flaking, then this kit may not be the right fit for you. If you invest in the kit but reduce how often or how much you use the products in an attempt to avoid dryness, your skin likely won’t clear up. Our most successful customers understand that temporary dryness is a small tradeoff compared to a lifetime of breakouts. While most do find the dryness tolerable, that experience is subjective and varies by person.

Further, if you have melanin-rich skin (non-Caucasian skin), please click here to read this important message regarding the potential of hyperpigmentation from dry skin (or from rubbing or scrubbing dry skin). This hyperpigmentation can occur from ANY acne product that is overly drying to the skin, not just Carm Acne products, however most dermatologists, estheticians, and skincare influencers do not openly discuss this.

Q: Will your kit cause my skin to purge?
Purging is a completely individual experience. Some customers may go through it, while others won’t—and unfortunately, we can’t predict who will. Rest assured, if you do experience purging, it doesn’t mean the products caused new breakouts. They simply pushed what was already forming beneath the surface up to the top. Purging can happen with any acne-fighting product, including drugstore options and dermatologist prescriptions. If you’re not comfortable with the possibility of a purge and have a special event coming up soon, it might be best to wait to start the kit until after the event has passed.

Q: Can I use your kit in combination with my own products?
You should not use any non-Carm Acne products, including prescription topicals, while using this kit and going through the clearing process. Straying from our proven routine can interfere with your results and may even trigger a skin reaction. Once your skin is clear, it’s up to you whether you want to add in other products into your Carm Acne routine.

Q: Can I use your kit while on Accutane?
Accutane users must wait a full 6 months after completing their course before using this kit. This waiting period is standard protocol for any acne treatment, as Accutane severely sensitizes the skin.


Q: Is your kit suitable for my teenager?
Our acne kits require full commitment to a daily skincare routine, along with certain lifestyle modifications, like cleansing the skin immediately after playing sports or sweating, being comfortable with a possible skin purge, and being patient for results. From years of experience working with acne-prone individuals, this level of commitment can be challenging for most teens to maintain. Many teens begin with good intentions and motivation, but after a few weeks, they are no longer committed or lose patience, which is why we generally don’t recommend our kits for teenagers.

Q: I have blackheads, comedones, and non-inflamed lesions. Will your kit clear this type of acne?
Cystic Acne Kit will only address inflamed pimples and cysts. If you have blackheads, comedones or general non-inflamed acne then you should purchase the Blackheads & Closed Comedones Kit. If you aren't sure if you have inflamed or non-inflamed acne then please email us an in-focus, close-up, and makeup-free photo of your acne. Email it to info@LuminositySkincare.com and type in Kit Question in the subject line.


Q: Can I choose a different strength Mandelic Maven Serum or Benzoyl with Benefits for my kit?
We cannot make any product substitutions to our kits. Kits come with a specific set of products as listed on this page and changes cannot be made. If you need different products, please order them individually instead of a kit.


Q: I only get premenstrual breakouts. Will this kit help with that?
Our products and kits are designed for acne-prone women that breakout on a regular basis and not just related to their menstrual cycle. If you only breakout with menstrual-related pimples, this kit is not ideal for you.


Q: My acne is mild / I only breakout occasionally. Is your kit suitable for me?
Our products and kits are designed for moderate to severe acne only. If your acne is mild or you only breakout occasionally, these kits are not intended for your skin. If you aren't sure if your skin is a good fit for the acne kits, please email us an in-focus, close-up, and makeup-free photo of your acne. Email it to info@LuminositySkincare.com and type in Kit Question in the subject line.

Q: I have rosacea or folliculitis/fungal acne. Will your kit work for me?
Our protocol utilizes Mandelic Acid which is beneficial for both rosacea & folliculitis/fungal acne therefore we have seen success in clearing up these conditions. However, our kits are designed and geared toward moderate to severe acne only, therefore we cannot make any promises or guarantees for other skin conditions as our main focus is strictly acne.

Q: I am pregnant. Can I still purchase a kit?
We kindly ask that if you are pregnant, you wait until after you’ve finished breastfeeding to purchase a kit. Pregnancy and breastfeeding cause hormonal shifts that can interfere with the effectiveness of the kit. Additionally, some of our products contain derivatives of retinoids and salicylic acid, which are contraindicated during pregnancy and nursing.


Q: Do your products have fragrance?
Some of the kit products have fragrance. If you are allergic or sensitive to fragrances, this kit is not suited for your skin.


Q: How long will it take to get clear on your kit?
Most customers will be clear in about 3-4 months, however some that have resistant acne can take longer than this. Those that don't follow the program exactly as outlined will not achieve clear skin.


Q: Are results guaranteed on your acne program?
While we have a high success rate in clearing acne, we cannot guarantee results. This is because many factors are beyond our control, such as the customer’s level of commitment to the program, genetics, diet, lifestyle habits, hormonal imbalances, medical conditions, prescribed medications, androgen-dominant birth control, or the rare case where despite all factors being perfect, one's acne might be extremely resistant.


Q: What is your refund policy?
Due to the nature of the materials presented in digital format (kit manual), and the success of this program being largely dependent on the customer’s adherence to the skincare routine and guidelines presented, refunds are not available.


Q: Do I have to purchase a kit manual separately?
No, you do not have to purchase a kit manual separately. This kit includes a FREE pdf manual which you will have access to immediately after your purchase.


Q: How do I access the manual after I purchase a kit?
You will have access to the pdf manual immediately after your purchase. Just check your emailed receipt for the download link as shown in the image below:
