If you ask Us, acne always strikes at the most inconvenient times. Now that the holiday season is quickly approaching, curating a nourishing, skin-clearing beauty arsenal is an absolute must. I mean, who doesn’t want to sport a flawless glow while schmoozing their way through festive events from now until the New Year? The good news is, you don’t have to fret.
Just before Thanksgiving, Us Weekly caught up with Summer House star Paige DeSorbo, who spilled all the tea on her partnership with esthetician-founded skincare brand Face Reality and revealed the acne-clearing products she loves most. I headed to a penthouse suite in New York City’s swanky Whitby Hotel to celebrate the launch of the brand’s new hydraRemdy Gel Serum, which hydrates and rejuvenates the skin barrier. I put on a plush robe and hopped in the coziest bed for a quick chat with DeSorbo about all things beauty. And yes, we cuddled with the cutest pillow of her cat Daphne.
The Giggly Squad podcast host has been candid about her journey with adult acne, sharing clips of her makeup-free face with her followers on social media, as well as on her hit Bravo series. She credits much of her noticeable improvements to Face Reality. “The Sulfur spot treatment is my number one favorite,” DeSorbo explained. “That’s one product that I’ve tried [from] so many brands since high school and I’ve never had one to get a really big cystic pimple to go down, so I will use that until the end of time.”

The gentle yet potent treatment combines 6% sulfur and an inflammation-zapping peptide that soothes active breakouts and reduces the appearance of redness.
Like myself, DeSorbo enjoys glam makeup every now and then. According to the 32-year-old, “the only thing second to wearing makeup is taking it off.” To ensure that her face is squeaky clean, she goes for the Face Reality Antioxidant Scrub. “When I have a ton of makeup on truly nothing feels better than bare clean skin. Before I apply any of the other products, I love the way my skin feels after just washing it.” The sulfate-free scrub works as a double cleanser, gently clearing out dirt, oil and debris while lightly exfoliating dead skin cells.

As we wrapped our chat, DeSorbo shared one skincare tip that she would share with absolutely anyone. “Drinking water is the number one thing that can truly transform your skin,” she advised. “I’m traveling all the time for the Giggle Squad tour. Being on planes, I feel like I get dehydrated so quickly. Drinking water has made my skin slower to break out.” And if you were wondering how she chooses to stay hydrated (because of course, I had to ask), DeSorbo shared that when it comes to the water bottle wars, she’s a Stanley girl all the way!
Whether you experience a random zit or painful cystic breakouts, you don’t have to feel stressed or overwhelmed. Face Reality has an assortment of products to help treat and combat acne whenever it strikes.
