Aging skin loses collagen, skin cell turnover slows down and the sebaceous glands produce less sebum causing skin to become drier. As a result, pores can easily become congested with dirt, debris and dead skin cells, or produce excess oil to overcompensate for excessive dryness, leading to breakouts.
Our fast-absorbing formula balances skin by controlling excess oil while gently exfoliating dead skin cells and supporting cell regeneration for clearer, smoother-looking skin. Powered by the brand's proprietary Pause Complex, it also helps firm, lift, brighten, and even-out skin tone, and diminish the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.

The dropper is designed to automatically draw up the right amount of product for a full-face application. We recommend dispensing the product into the palm of your hand, patting your hands together and patting the product all over your face and neck or with special attention to active breakout areas versus releasing the contents of the dropper directly onto the face.

Our Pause products were specifically designed to work across most skin types, skin tones and ethnicities.
Because of the importance of collagen for skin elasticity, tone and texture as we age, all Pause products contain our proprietary Pause Complex, designed to help spark the body’s production of collagen and improve skin density and hydration. The Detox Serum’s lightweight formula also includes Willow Bark, Aloe and Broccoli Extract as well as Pineapple and Papaya Enzymes to help soothe and calm skin, fight free radicals and inflammation and gently slough the surface of the skin to dissolve and remove dead skin cells, thereby helping your complexion stay clear.
Midlife breakouts require a slightly different approach than the breakouts you had in your teens since skin tends to get thinner and drier as you age. That’s why we developed a formula that helps protect against drying while treating and preventing breakouts.
Yes! All Pause products are vegan, Non-GMO, gluten-free, hormone-free, cruelty-free Leaping Bunny certified and made in the USA with Well-Aging® ingredients sourced from around the globe.
