Kill Acne & Redness Stick™
Meet the stick
Everything you want to know, up front
What's inside the stick?
The Cool-Clear™ system: azelaic acid with colloidal sulfur, zinc, niacinamide and centella (cica), in skin-barrier oils. Waterless, so every swipe is concentrated active — no silicone, no alcohol, no filler water.
How do I use it?
Cleanse, pat dry, then glide the stick over breakouts (or the whole area) morning and night. Moisturizer and SPF go right on top.
What results can I expect — and when?
Calmer, less-red skin in week 1; fewer breakouts by weeks 2–3; clearer, more even skin from week 4. Steady and honest — not an overnight gimmick.
What's the guarantee?
60 days, money back. If your skin isn't calmer and clearer, email us for a full refund — no subscription-only fine print.
"Acne is inflammation first. The smart move is to calm it, not scorch the skin — a gentle active like this is exactly what I reach for, even in pregnancy."

The real problem
You were never choosing between acne products.
You were choosing between two ways to fail. The strong stuff worked — sort of — but it burned, peeled and left skin raw. The gentle stuff felt lovely and changed nothing. Same breakouts, three weeks later.
✕
Too harsh
Clears — then torches your skin
Benzoyl peroxide, retinoids, Accutane strip and burn, so the fire flares back. "Felt like extreme sunburn."
✕
Too gentle
Soothing — but does nothing
Natural balms feel nice and never actually clear. "Third full week and I really can't see any difference."
You've been bouncing between damage and disappointment — because you've been fighting the wrong thing.

Why nothing has worked
There's a fire under your skin. You've been pouring fuel on it.
1
That angry bump is a fire.
Redness, swelling, heat — acne is inflammation that starts inside the skin, before the breakout even shows.
2
Everything you tried throws fuel on it.
Harsh actives strip and scorch to "kill" acne — adding heat to heat. More redness, more purging, rebound.
3
You can't win a war against your own skin.
Attack it harder and it flares back. That's the reason nothing held.
4
Pluune puts the fire out at the source.
The Cool-Clear™ system cools the inflammation instead of feeding it. Cool the fire and it stays out — that's why gentle lasts where harsh rebounds.
Watch the fire go out
Now
Inflamed
Hot, red, angry. The fire is burning.
Weeks 1–3
Cooling
Redness settles, breakouts calm.
Week 4+
Clear & calm
The fire's out. Skin stays even.
The honest timeline
The fire goes out in stages
This isn't an overnight gimmick. Here's the honest version, so you know it's working.
Week 1
Cooler
Skin looks less angry and less red. Breakouts feel less inflamed.
Weeks 2–3
Fewer
New breakouts slow down. This is where most people quit — don't. The fire's still going out.
Week 4+
Clearer
Skin looks more even. The marks breakouts left behind start to fade.
Month 2–3
Stays out
Calmer, clearer skin that holds — because you cooled it instead of scorching it.
The routine
Two minutes, twice a day
1
Cleanse & dry
Wash gently and pat skin fully dry.
2
Glide it on
Swipe the stick over breakouts (or the whole area), morning and night.
3
Stay consistent
Every day for at least 4 weeks. SPF and makeup go right on top — it won't pill.
How we put it out
Inside Cool-Clear™
Not one commodity ingredient — a system tuned to cool inflammation and clear breakouts without stripping your skin.
Azelaic Acid
The clinical proof. Calms redness, clears breakouts and fades post-acne marks — the active dermatologists respect, gentle even in pregnancy.
Sulfur + Zinc
Target breakout-causing bacteria and excess oil; calm and protect without drying.
Niacinamide + Cica
Cool inflammation, even tone and soothe — so skin recovers instead of reacting.
The base: 100% waterless and carried in barrier oils (squalane, jojoba). That's why it doesn't sting, doesn't pill, and every swipe is concentrated active — no water diluting it, no silicone paste rolling off.
The honest answers
"But is it actually safe for my skin?"
You've been burned before — sometimes literally. Straight answers to what you're really worried about.
Will it break me out or clog my pores?
No. It's non-comedogenic and made for acne-prone skin — the base is chosen to calm and clear, not feed breakouts. No purge, no rebound.
Will it dry, burn, or peel me?
No sting, no peel, no tightness. It's waterless and carried in barrier oils — it cools instead of scorching.
Safe for my teenager — or in pregnancy?
Gentle enough for teen skin, and azelaic is widely considered pregnancy-friendly (check with your doctor).
Does it work on cystic or hormonal acne?
It helps calm and clear inflammatory and hormonal breakouts on jaw, chin and forehead. For deep cysts, keep it in your routine and loop in a dermatologist.
A stick — does it deliver enough active?
Yes. Waterless means every swipe is concentrated active — nothing diluting it, nothing rolling off.
What if it doesn't work for me?
60-day money-back guarantee. Email us for a full refund — no hoops, no subscription-only fine print.

A note from our founder
"I was tired of watching people I love burn their skin to fix it."
I watched someone I love get caught in the trap. Prescriptions that cleared a breakout but left skin raw and red. "Natural" balms that soothed and changed nothing. Always the same dead end.
What finally clicked: acne is inflammation — a fire — and everything they'd tried was throwing fuel on it. So I went looking for what dermatologists reach for when they want to calm skin, not scorch it. The answer kept coming back to azelaic acid — and to building it into something gentle enough to use every day.
That became Cool-Clear™, in a precise waterless stick. If it doesn't calm and clear your skin in 60 days, I don't want your money.
