Behind Amy Matthews Skincare | Founder’s Story & Mission

For years I battled persistent skin issues—acne, rough texture, extreme sensitivity, and excess oil. I tried everything: laser treatments, prescription medications, and countless harsh skincare products. But nothing worked. Each new product brought disappointment.

At the time, I was an aspiring Broadway performer in New York City after graduating from the New York Film Academy, and my skin was worse than ever. Constant breakouts affected not just my confidence, but also how I showed up in auditions and on stage. That low point became a turning point.

Determined to find real answers, I began researching skincare ingredients, formulation, and the root causes of acne. Eventually, I enrolled in the School of Natural Skincare and earned a diploma in skincare formulation. Here's what I discovered in my clear skin journey...

• Formulating my own 100% natural face oils was key to healing my skin. My skin transformed when I formulated Clarifying Tea Tree Face Oil—a product I still use daily. If you struggle with breakouts, this oil was made specifically for acne-prone skin like mine. 
• When it comes to deeper cystic acne, healing from within is necessary. Adopting a healthy lifestyle, skin-friendly diet, and targeted supplements made a significant difference. That’s why I wrote Clear Skin Basics, a guide to help you start your inside-out skin healing journey. 
• Ingredients matter—always. Many skincare and makeup products contain pore-clogging ingredients that worsen acne. Check this pore clogging ingredients list.

Today, I’m proud to offer a brand born from personal struggle, science-backed education, and a mission to help others find real, lasting relief.
