We shift the focus from treatment to prevention
Supplements alone aren’t a long-term fix. They nourish, balance, and restore from within — but without topical care, they can’t fully protect or strengthen the skin barrier. That’s why at Nourished3, we believe in integrating both: inner support through supplements and outer support through skincare.
Our supplements are powerful and clinically backed. The gut supplement supports microbiome diversity and reduces inflammation, while the brain supplement calms stress and restores balance. Together, they build a strong internal foundation for clear, radiant skin. But lasting transformation happens when supplements are paired with topical care — skincare that strengthens the barrier and amplifies internal results for visible, long-term clarity.
This philosophy is the foundation of our Trifecta Method™, designed to nourish the skin–gut–brain connection from every angle. It comes to life through our Triple Biotic™ Symbiotic Collection:
Step 1 (Skin): Postbiotic skincare, Step 2 (Gut): Probiotic gut supplement, Step 3 (Brain): Prebiotic brain supplement
Together, this system goes beyond surface or internal care alone — delivering truly holistic results that help your skin thrive, stay radiant, and flourish from the inside out.
Frequently asked questions
1. How do I use the Clear Skin Collection?
Use the three products together as a simple daily routine:
-
Step 1: Purify & Comfort Face Cleanser (morning & evening)
-
Step 2: Brightening Radiance Super Serum (morning only)
-
Step 3: Calm & Hydrate Oil-Free Moisturizer (morning & evening)
Always finish with SPF in the morning.
2. Can I use the products every day?
Yes, all products in the Clear Skin Collection are formulated for daily use. They are gentle enough for sensitive, acne-prone skin and effective enough to deliver visible results with consistent use.
3. What makes this collection different from others?
Unlike traditional acne or brightening products that can be harsh and drying, our collection is built around clinically supported ingredients that target skin clarity, hydration, and barrier strength. Each formula combines active ingredients like stabilized Vitamin C, Niacinamide, Ceramides, AHA/BHA, and postbiotic pomegranate enzymes to support long-term skin health.
4. Will this help with acne, dark spots, and uneven skin tone?
Yes. The collection was designed to address the root causes of common skin concerns: breakouts, post-acne marks, dullness, and weakened barriers. With consistent use, you can expect clearer pores, brighter skin, more even tone, and improved hydration.
5. Can I layer these products with others?
Absolutely. The Clear Skin Collection works as a complete system, but it also layers well with other Nourished3 products. Just remember: cleanser → serum → moisturizer → SPF (morning).
6. How long does the collection last?
-
Cleanser (150ml / 1500 pumps): lasts 5–6 months with twice-daily use.
-
Serum (30ml / 100 pumps): lasts about 3 months with daily morning use.
-
Moisturizer (50ml / 330 pumps): lasts about 3 months with twice-daily use.
7. Are the products considered pregnancy-safe?
Yes! It is suggested that pregnant women should avoid using products with salicylic acid concentrations higher than 2%. Our cleanser and mask contain only 1% BHA, which is considered safe. Still, we always recommend consulting with a healthcare professional before using any skincare products during pregnancy.
8. Do the products contain fragrance?
None of the Clear Skin Collection products contain fragrance. The only exception in our full skincare line is the Clarify & Brighten Face Mask, which contains less than 0.10% fragrance to balance the natural scent of sulfur.
9. Are these products recommended for sensitive skin?
Yes. All products are patch-tested on sensitive, acne-prone skin. They are non-comedogenic and dermatologically tested to ensure safety and compatibility with delicate skin.
10. Are they vegan and cruelty-free?
Yes. Like all Nourished3 products, the Clear Skin Collection is 100% vegan, cruelty-free, and made without sulfates, silicones, parabens, or synthetic fragrance.
