CLEARSTEM Skincare is introducing multi-benefit texture serums with SMOOTH OVER, a daily treatment designed to address excess oil, uneven texture, redness, and early signs of aging. The formula combines bakuchiol, a plant-derived retinol alternative, with Tripeptide-85 to help refine skin appearance while controlling shine. Its lightweight, green-tinted consistency blends into the skin without leaving visible color.
Additional ingredients include plant stem cells, milk thistle extract, and a tranexamic acid derivative to support skin renewal and improve the appearance of redness. In a clinical study involving 30 participants, 100% demonstrated reduced sebum levels after two weeks, while 90% showed visible fine-line improvements after four weeks.
Priced at $62, the serum allows CLEARSTEM to target consumers managing both acne-prone and maturing skin. Its multifunctional formula could also appeal to shoppers seeking fewer products in their skincare routines.

What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Hybrid Skin Treatments
- Multifunctional formulas that target oil control, texture, redness, and aging reflect a growing market for products that collapse multiple skincare steps into one premium daily treatment.
- Retinol Alternative Actives
- Plant-derived ingredients like bakuchiol create room for gentler anti-aging products that appeal to consumers seeking efficacy without the irritation often associated with traditional retinoids.
- Acne-aging Crossover Care
- Consumers managing both breakouts and early fine lines represent an underserved segment where skincare brands can position specialized solutions beyond age-based or acne-only categories.
Sectors Adopting This
- Skincare
- Clinical claims, peptide complexes, and multi-benefit positioning are reshaping product development toward high-performance treatments designed for simplified routines.
- Beauty Retail
- Retailers can benefit from hybrid serums that bridge acne care and anti-aging, creating shelf-space opportunities around problem-solution merchandising rather than single-benefit categories.
- Cosmeceuticals
- Evidence-backed ingredients such as tranexamic derivatives, peptides, and botanical actives strengthen the convergence of beauty and dermatological science in consumer-facing products.
