It Didn’t Go Wrong, It’s An Opportunity with Kayleigh Christina of CLEARSTEM

WP headshot (3)

 

After trying virtually everything on the market for her cystic acne, Kayleigh found herself at an acne clinic. A few hours into the visit Kayleigh had learned so much about the causes of acne. Soon, she struck up a partnership with the clinic’s owner and her now business partner, Danielle, to market their skincare line, CLEARSTEM. 

 

Today, we sit down with Kayleigh Christina, co-founder of CLEARSTEM Skincare, an anti-acne, anti-aging skincare line that incorporates stem cells in the formulations to help people achieve the best results. Kayleigh shares about her ‘aha’ moment, her learning lessons, how she builds a community with her business, and so much more. 

 

“A lot of the harsh acne products actually make your skin age faster and get deeper, more aggressive wrinkles. And then you have a lot of anti-aging products that are historically filled with poor quality ingredients, causing you to break out. So we’re like, ‘why don’t we create a line that does both at the same time?’” – Kayleigh Christina
