Clear skin shouldn’t have to come at the cost of your health!
Accut*ne, retinoids, and harsh actives promise clear skin—at the price of hormone disruption, photosensitivity, and serious side effects. L’AMARUE is different. It's non-toxic, and clinically proven to work without wrecking your skin (or your peace of mind).
Why Isotretinoin Can Be Harmful:
Causes severe dryness, flaking, anxiety, and even liver damage.
Overloads your system with 50x the recommended dose of Vitamin A.
Works by shrinking oil glands—without fully understanding why.
Meet the Natural Alternative Backed by 3,000+ Studies:
L’AMARUE’s patented Heart to Heart Complex® is the retinol alternative dermatologists now recommend.
✔️ 3x more effective against P. acnes bacteria and biofilm than benzoyl peroxide*
✔️ 2.5x more cell turnover than retinol, without irritation*
✔️ Calms inflammation, boosts collagen by 400%, and speeds recovery*
✔️ No dryness, no toxicity, no harsh side effects
What It Does:
Balances oil production at the skin level: Regulates sebum without systemic side effects, promoting a clear complexion.
Calms redness, fades dark spots, and clears breakouts: Addresses inflammation and hyperpigmentation, effectively treating various types of acne.
Safe, non-toxic, and powered by bioactive cell signaling: Utilizes the Heart to Heart Complex® to enhance skin cell communication, ensuring gentle yet effective results.

5. No “Purging” or Breakout Phase
The last thing you want to deal with when you're fighting acne... is more acne! Isotretinoin is famous for its purging phase – "the Accut*ne uglies." Our Rescue & Repair System is gentle yet effective, helping prevent new breakouts without triggering a purging phase. Start seeing results without the fear of things getting worse first!

Heart to Heart Complex® Technology
Instead of isotretinoin/retinol, we use our patent-pending Heart to Heart Complex®. Naturally-derived from cruciferous vegetables like broccoli, it's a major breakthrough in effective natural skincare.
It's so effective because it can "talk" to your skin. It does this with your skin's own natural collagen and healing processes, helping you reach your skin goals without irritation or toxic ingredients – up to 260% better than retinol can*. Don't underestimate it just because it's cute and pink.
HOW IT WORKS
When you eat, sleep, drink, stress, laugh, zen, or literally do anything at all, your body sends your skin signals. These can turn into overproduction of oil (which causes breakouts), inflammation, moisture barrier damage, redness, and more.
Our body naturally gets to work to neutralize and rebalance these cellular and hormonal signals, and return your skin to its natural perfection. We bottled this perfect natural rebalancing process – so that it happens better and faster.
BETTER-THAN-ACCUT*NE CARE
Isotretinoin essentially dries out your body's natural oil production. The pharma companies that patented its use for breakouts don't even know how it works – they just know that taking up to 60x more vitamin A that is recommended works for stopping new breakouts. Yikes!
Instead, our Heart to Heart Complex® gently but potently promotes natural rebalancing on your skin's reactions to things like hormonal shifts, bad food, inflammation, stress, and more. It has been shown to promote cellular and hormonal harmony in the skin and in the whole body.
The results? Up to 260% better collagen production, faster healing, and calming even severe inflammation.*

FAQs
HOW LONG UNTIL I SEE RESULTS? Typically our customers see a noticeable improvement in the appearance of breakouts within 1 week of use. You'll likely notice a "healthier" looking and calmer glow within just a few uses, more balanced skin in 5-10 days days, and improvement in more chronic concerns (like dark spots) within 3 weeks. Results of course vary from person to person. Give the routine time to work its magic for the first month.
IS IT SUITABLE FOR MY SKIN TYPE? Yes, absolutely! It's safe for all skin types, even the most sensitive skin.
HOW DO I USE IT? Use The Rescue & Repair Kit like a normal daily routine. Easy! We believe that simple can be effective, too. See "How To Use" above for more details.

P.S. THE RESCUE & REPAIR KIT HELPS ADDRESS ALL TYPES
TYPE: BLACKHEAD (OPEN COMEDONES)
What are they?
The tiny dark dots you see, usually on your nose or chin. It’s not dirt — it’s just oil and dead skin that’s gotten stuck in your pores and oxidized. Totally normal, totally annoying.
Why is it happening?
Your skin is overproducing oil and not shedding dead skin properly, which clogs things up.
How does the Clarify & Control Protocol help?
Willow Bark Extract gently exfoliates to keep pores clear without stripping your skin. Zinc helps balance oil, while Niacinamide supports smoother texture. Lactobacillus and Sea Kelp Ferment work together to keep your microbiome strong and healthy, so pores stay clearer in the long run.
TYPE: WHITEHEAD (CLOSED COMEDONES)
What are they?
These are the little under-the-skin bumps that don’t pop but just sit there. Like a blackhead that didn’t open the door.
Why is it happening?
Oil + dead skin + inflammation have been trapped under the surface.
How does the Clarify & Control Protocol help?
Niacinamide regulates oil and strengthens the barrier, helping skin shed more smoothly. Moringa Seed Extract and Rosemary Leaf offer antibacterial support, while Squalane and Glycerin hydrate without clogging—so those bumps don’t get worse.
TYPE: PAPULES
What are they?
These are the small red bumps that are just angry and inflamed (no pus). They can feel sore and like they’re about to turn into something more dramatic.
Why is it happening?
Your skin's immune system is over-reacting to a clogged pore and freaking out a bit.
How does the Clarify & Control Protocol help?
Heart to Heart Complex® helps calm the overactive signals causing inflammation. Beet Root and Green Tea reduce redness and sensitivity, while Zinc, Niacinamide, and Milk Thistle Extract support healing, barrier function, and skin clarity.
TYPE: PUSTULES
What are they?
These are the classic pimples: red with a white or yellow center. They’ve got that little “pop me” moment (don’t pop them though—we know it’s hard).
Why is it happening?
Oil, bacteria, and inflammation are having a group meltdown inside your pore.
How does the Clarify & Control Protocol help?
Willow Bark clears out pore buildup, while Moringa, Rosemary, and Licorice Root fight the bacteria behind visible pimples. Niacinamide, Red Raspberry Oil, and Chamomile help soothe swelling and discoloration so skin can recover faster.
TYPE: NODULES
What are they?
The tiny dark dots you see, usually on your nose or chin. It’s not dirt — it’s just oil and dead skin that’s gotten stuck in your pores and oxidized. Totally normal, totally annoying.
Why is it happening?
Usually tied to hormones and inflammation. Your skin’s basically misfiring from the inside and causing inflamed buildup in your pore(s) and surrounding tissue.
How does the Clarify & Control Protocol help?
Heart to Heart Complex® helps calm that signal at the cellular level. Niacinamide strengthens your barrier, and Red Raspberry Oil helps soothe deep irritation while keeping your skin hydrated.
TYPE: CYSTS
What are they?
The big ones. Swollen, painful, under-the-skin breakouts filled with pus. They often leave dark spots or marks behind and can feel like they last forever.
Why is it happening?
This is usually hormonal and inflammatory—your skin is stuck in overdrive.
Why is it happening?
Our protocol uses Heart to Heart Complex® to retrain your skin’s internal messaging system to get your skin out of overdrive and back to its naturally-perfect blueprint. Moringa and Rosemary fight bacteria and inflammation gently, and Niacinamide + Lactobacillus help prevent future cysts by keeping your skin strong, calm, and balanced.
THE SOLUTION? SOMETHING TRULY NEW.
Ande's Skin Story
"I struggled with all sorts of acne. This photo was definitely not my skin at its worst, sadly. Thousands of hours of work went into finally developing (and patenting) our root cause approach. Every product truly works, and is free of toxic chemicals, stress, and side-effects. So you can feel like yourself again, too!"

Q: WHY IS IT CALLED
THE HEART TO HEART COMPLEX®?
A: Because it clears and improves the communication between your skin cells!
Wrinkles, fine lines, sagging, and crepe-y texture all start when things like stress and hormones hijack the natural discussion that happens between you skin cells. This discussion controls collagen, healing, inflammation, softness, hydration, and more.
Q: WHY IS IT CALLED
THE HEART TO HEART COMPLEX®?
A: Because it clears and improves the cell-to-cell communication between your skin cells!
Breakouts don’t just start on the surface. They start when stress, hormones, and inflammation disrupt how your skin cells communicate. Meaning they can't fight bacteria, regulate oil production, or maintain a strong barrier.
Our Heart to Heart Complex® helps restore that signal, so your skin can balance oil, calm inflammation, and clear up — naturally, from the inside out.
Our Heart to Heart Complex® helps your skin cells communicate better, meaning more collagen, more softness, more glow – right from the source.
Once you get to the root cause, transformative magic happens – the clock rewinds!

The Face Cream
This is the best acne solution I have ever put on my face.
I have pretty severe cystic breakouts and have tried absolutely everything. I have gone to several dermatologists for temporary fixes and was always too scared to try accutane because of all the side effects. Within a month it has left my skin glowing, clear and even got rid of a lot of my scarring. If you have read the reviews and are skeptical, I understand but this is the only review I have ever written because this stuff is magic. I have been using it for two months now and will never try another product again because this stuff is well worth the investment. –Ashley R.
The Essential Cleanser
This product delivers on it's promises!
I am 67 and never thought I would have hormonal breakouts at this stage of life. After numerous products I purchased this product and 99% of my breakouts are gone. It took a few months but now I only have an occasional zit which clears up quickly. I am very happy with the product and just purchased my second bottle. 🥰 –Rebecca L.
The Daily Vitamin Serum
100000x YES!
I’ve bever been able to implement any serums into my skincare routine, as none ever showed me results. This one really changed the game though. Right within the first week I started using it, I noticed improvements on my skin. My dark spots brightened up, my pimples healed super fast, and my skin overall looked healthier and more glowy. It instantly became a staple in my morning routine. This is the real deal!!!!!! –Carola D.
