If you’ve ever struggled with adult acne, you’re not alone—and you’re not without options. Like so many women, my skin took an unexpected turn after my son was born. As I was heading into my 40s, breakouts worsened, and nothing I tried made a lasting difference. That frustration—and a lifelong love of natural living—led me to create something that would truly change my skin and my life, a natural face serum that I called Susan’s Own.
From Desperation to Discovery: My Skincare Turning Point
Hi, I’m Susan, founder of Susan’s Soaps & More. I’ve been handcrafting natural soaps and skincare for over 25 years. Along the way, I’ve helped people embrace better skincare rituals using essential oils and clean ingredients. But before I was creating face serums and shampoo bars, I was just a mom trying to solve my own skin issues.
My journey with creating my natural face serum not only transformed my skin but also deepened my connection to natural ingredients and their benefits.
After moving out to the country for a more sustainable lifestyle—complete with gardening dreams and talk of chickens—I hit a wall with my skin. I’d always loved nature. I subscribed to Mother Earth News back in college and was already using essential oils in the soaps I made. But putting oil directly on my acne-prone face? That felt risky.
Eventually, I took the leap and blended a serum using natural carrier oils and a carefully researched mix of essential oils. And wow—what a difference! Within a month, my breakouts were noticeably better. Within three months, they were gone.
Why Susan’s Own Face Serum Works
So, what makes Susan’s Own Face Serum so special? This isn’t just another face oil—it’s a small-batch, handmade product crafted with intention and deep knowledge of natural skincare. Here’s what’s inside this skin-transforming blend:
- Geranium Essential Oil: Known for balancing hormones and promoting emotional well-being. It helps regulate sebum production, making it ideal for combination or acne-prone skin. Plus, it just makes you feel better—like a little boost of joy.
- Carrot Seed Essential Oil: A powerhouse antioxidant, this essential oil is great for smoothing, toning, and softening the look of fine lines.
- Evening Primrose Oil: Rich in gamma-linolenic acid, this ingredient helps calm inflammation and supports skin healing.
- Sweet Almond Oil Base: Lightweight and nourishing, it helps your skin stay balanced without clogging pores.
Together, this formula supports healthy, glowing skin—naturally.
“But Won’t It Make My Skin Oily?”
That was my biggest fear too. I already had an oily T-zone with some dry patches, and the thought of adding more oil seemed like it would make everything worse. But the truth is: your skin needs oil. Stripping it can leave your face dry, tight, and even more reactive.
When I started using my natural face serum, my skin felt balanced. It absorbed beautifully and left no greasy residue. In fact, people often told me I looked like I was glowing—not shiny, just radiant.
How I Use It: A Simple, Nourishing Skincare Ritual
My morning and evening skincare routine takes just a few minutes. Here’s how I use Susan’s Own Face Serum:
- Cleanse – I usually wash my face with just water, but if I need a deeper clean, I use my Carrot Seed Complexion Bar, which has a similar essential oil blend.
- Apply the Natural Face Serum – I remove the cap and tip the bottle to dab a few drops onto my forehead, cheeks, and chin—about 4 to 5 places total.
- Massage Gently – I smooth it in with clean hands and let it absorb. It soaks in quickly, so I can get dressed and go about my day without worry.
I use it twice a day—morning and night—and sometimes more if I’ve showered after gardening or working out.
Why I Switched—and Why I Still Recommend It
I used Susan’s Own Face Serum faithfully until I turned 50. Then I transitioned to my Anti-Aging Face Serum, which I use today. But Susan’s Own was truly the turning point in my skincare journey—and it remains a customer favorite for a reason.
If you’re dealing with breakouts, dry patches, dullness, or just want to feel more confident in your skin, I truly believe this natural face serum can help.
