Hey Lab Rats,
Can I be honest with you? When we launched Continuum, our first active-focused treatment, I was feeling a little insecure as the Co-founder + CEO of Experiment. Since I was 13, acne has been my #1 skin concern. I’m now 30, I own a skincare brand, and guess what… acne is still my #1 skin concern. I often feel like my breakouts stick out in a sea of beauty founders and creators, where their “bad” skin day is my dream state of clarity. And when they’re selling skincare, their “perfect” skin can feel like proof of their product’s efficacy.
As a founder, chemist, and acne-prone girlie, I know that isn’t true— so many factors like genetics, hormones, environment, mental health, time, and yes, money, affect the way your skin can look. Yet I still feel like the odd one out. I’m sure a lot of you have felt the same way at some point, too.

My acne is largely hormonal these days, cycling monthly between disruption and recovery. Honestly, the biggest challenge isn’t just the breakouts. It’s also the irritation and sensitization I can get from the products I use to treat them. So I’d have to stop all treatments, focus on barrier care to calm things down, and then get back to treating my breakouts. That cycle has left me in a constant state of catch-up. The moment my skin clears, I break out all over again.

But for the first time in a long time, my breakout routine feels suspiciously easy… weird to say, but I didn’t realize how mentally taxing it’s been to keep up with my breakouts. And it’s thanks to our newest launch (that I always begged for more lab samples of), Continuum.
Before Continuum, I used four different products (literally $175 worth) to get the right mix of clarifying and calming actives like BHA, PHA, Glycinated Azelaic Acid, and Allantoin. That combo helped my skin through every stage of my breakout cycle. But now I’ve replaced them all with Continuum, which has those actives and more, all in 1 bottle for $34. Oh… and we have refills for even less 😇
This multi-active approach to breakouts combined into one gentle daily product, has been a simple but game-changing update to my routine. I’m now much more consistent in actually treating my breakouts, and in just one month I’ve seen consistently clearer, calmer skin. The proof is not in my skin’s current state, it’s in the change between where my skin was and where it is now. The best part is we’re just at the beginning, my clarity will continue to improve overtime!
If my skin journey resonates, then Continuum is a product I genuinely hope you try. And I can’t wait to hear what you think.
See you in the lab,
Lisa, Co-founder and CEO
