The Beauty Manifest hosts, Melinda, Sephora Beauty Director, mental health advocate, and content creator, along with Natasha, international beauty entrepreneur, award winning artist, and philanthropist, interview Danielle Gronich of CLEARSTEM skincare and the San Diego Acne Clinic. They talk how acne affects mental health and their personal experiences with it, advice for effective communication, and tips for treating acne.

Danielle Gronich is the formulator and CEO of CLEARSTEM skincare, the first nontoxic, anti-aging and anti-acne skincare line. She is also the founder of San Diego Acne Clinic in La Jolla, California. Danielle’s 10-year acne struggle (including three failed rounds of accutane) is what led her to leave the corporate world and apply her background in biology to solving acne for others. Danielle took a leap of faith and decided to completely change industries; she dove into clinical research and went back to school to find the missing information for herself, earning her license as a clinical esthetician and acne specialist. She is now known as The Acne Guru™. She learned that acne has multiple triggers that operate in tandem and that thoroughly evaluating each case in a holistic way – both internally and externally – is the only way to help truly manage skin. She has developed a system to help identify hidden acne triggers that are missed by modern dermatologists and has helped thousands of people clear their skin and get their lives back- without resorting to toxic medications.
