Formulated by The Acne Guru® to Smooth Texture, Soften Fine Lines + Control Shine in One Step

SAN DIEGO, Oct. 19, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — CLEARSTEM Skincare, the brand that targets breakouts and aging at the same time with no pore-clogging ingredients ever, announces the launch of SMOOTH OVER Daily Texture Perfecting Serum ($62). This lightweight, daily serum features a light green hue that blends seamlessly into the skin without leaving a visible tint, combining Bakuchiol, Tripeptide-85, Tranexamic Acid (TXA), and Plant Stem Cells to smooth the look of texture, soften the appearance of fine lines, reduce shine, and calm the look of redness.

SMOOTH OVER Daily Texture Perfecting Serum

Life has its bumpy moments, and so does skin. Between the 3 p.m. oily shine and the irritation that often comes with retinol, acne-prone skin can be tricky to manage, especially once early signs of aging start to show. Finding one product that addresses texture, oil, and fine lines without harsh or pore-clogging ingredients that compromise the skin barrier has long been a challenge. SMOOTH OVER was designed to tackle it all in a single step: effective enough to deliver real results, yet gentle enough for everyday use.

“So many of our clients come to us stuck between two problems. They’re still dealing with texture and breakouts, and now they’re seeing fine lines too. The retinol they tried was too harsh on their skin, but they don’t want to lose valuable anti-aging benefits” said Danielle “The Acne Guru®” Gronich, CEO and Co-Founder of CLEARSTEM. “SMOOTH OVER ends that tradeoff, giving them a smoother, more even look without the irritation or the pore-clogging fillers found in most anti-aging serums. It’s the kind of serum you’ll actually want to reach for every morning and night.”

SMOOTH OVER’s formula is built around four key ingredients:

Bakuchiol (Smooth): A next-generation, plant-derived alternative to retinol that helps reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, improve firmness, refine texture, and promote a more even-looking tone.
Tripeptide-85 (Oil Control): A targeted peptide that helps control excess oil production in maturing skin. It keeps skin looking less shiny through the day without the stripped, tight feeling that comes from over-drying.
Plant Stem Cells (Renew): Rich in antioxidants and protective nutrients that help support the skin’s natural renewal process.
Milk Thistle + TXA Derivative (Calm): Milk Thistle seed extract delivers antioxidants that help defend against the look of environmental stress. Tranexamic Acid helps visibly calm redness and even the look of skin tone. Together, they help skin look calmer, more comfortable, and more even.

SMOOTH OVER visibly smooths skin from the first use, with 96% of participants showing improved smoothness immediately.*

It also supports a balanced, healthy-looking complexion. 100% of participants showed reduced sebum levels at 2 weeks. At 4 weeks, 96% showed improvement in the look of redness, and 90% showed improvement in the look of fine lines.*

*Based on a clinical study of 30 participants.

To use, apply generously to the face, neck, and chest after cleansing and toning, once or twice daily. In the morning, follow with moisturizer and SPF.

SMOOTH OVER Daily Texture Perfecting Serum (1 fl oz / 30 mL, $62) will be available beginning October 16, 2026, at clearstemskincare.com.
