If you've browsed the skincare aisles at Target or Ulta Beauty, you've likely spotted Rosen Skincare's products. The brand, known for its innovative and inclusive approach to acne care, is the brainchild of Jamika Martin. The founder's struggles with her skin throughout middle and high school laid the groundwork for Rosen, as it showed her early on how difficult it can be to find treatments that work for diverse skin. "I started breaking out between fifth and sixth grade and developed hyperpigmentation," Martin says. "I tried many things to combat my acne—from visiting an esthetician to trying Accutane—but it seemed like nothing was working long-term." To use, apply 1-2 pumps of the serum to hands then gently rub or pat into face. It’s best to start slowly and work up to more frequent use to avoid experiencing sensitivity. With effective products, fantastic ingredients, transparency in their decisions, and a dedication to ending acne-shaming, this is a brand I can fully get behind. I’ve found a number of products I really enjoy and will be keeping in my routine permanently. Even with some products not working for me, I love the brand as a whole and am excited to try more from their line.

The Charcoal Mask is perfect for when you’re feeling a little oily. I would mostly used it before I did my makeup to help keep the oil at bay or as a spot treatment when I had a breakout. This helped to dry out the pimple and I noticed that it helped speed up healing. It’s important to know that this product is made with alcohol so over using it can likely lead to drying of the skin. I recommend that it is used sparingly. I didn’t get a chance to use the bright citrus serum for the 30 days because it was delivered broken. However, I was sent a replacement and have been incorporating it into my routine. This product tingles initially but I’m not sure if it’s actually supposed to do that. I’ll give an accurate update once I’ve had the chance to use it for an extended period of time.I wanted to be sure this spot treatment was not only 1) effective but 2) innovative. Sorry, not sorry, but I am like 1000% over seeing the same Calamine spot treatment. Shoutout to Mario Badescu for being innovators and popularizing this amazingly simple and effective formula, but it's been done. No shade (okay, kinda shade), but there are sooo many cool anti-bacterial and anti-microbial ingredients to make an awesome spot treatment.

A spot treatment has to be our #1 requested product ever since we launched our moisturizer. So, you asked, we listened! Introducing: Break-Out, your 100% natural, over-night spot treatment.

Instead of mixing together your own concoction and hoping for the best, use a tea tree oil-containing product designed specifically for acne. "This decreases the chances of irritation and worsening of acne unintentionally," Dr. Love explains.

To use, apply a quarter sized amount of the cleanser to damp skin and gently work up to a lather. Lather on cleanser for 60 seconds and rinse off.Beyond that, Martin hopes to continue changing the narrative surrounding skincare. "Our goal isn’t to make people feel like they have to have perfect skin," she shares. "I just want them to know there are products they can use to have healthy skin. It’s about health over perfection for us."
