Want to treat acne without harsh chemicals? Use Geologie’ Clear System

Ever felt like your acne treatment was doing more harm than good? You’re not alone. For years the only effective acne solutions were ones that left your skin feeling dry as a desert or looking redder than a tomato. But now everything you thought you knew about acne treatments is about to change thanks to the Geologie Clear System. Unlike other acne treatments you may have tried, this revolutionary three-step routine addresses your toughest skin challenges without the harsh chemicals.

Clinically proven to bring about real change, the Clear System doesn’t just eliminate acne at all costs. Instead, it takes a more holistic approach, eliminating acne while simultaneously transforming your skin into a smooth and radiant canvas, without all the irritation, itching, and burning.

The Problem with Traditional Acne Treatments

Traditional acne treatments often come with a guest list of unwelcome side effects, thanks to their go-to ingredient: benzoyl peroxide. While this ingredient is very effective in the battle against breakouts, its track record isn’t as spotless when it comes to our skin’s overall well-being. Benzoyl peroxide causes drying, peeling, and an overall sensation that your face is on fire. For many, this approach to curing acne care feels like you are just trading one set of problems for another.

And it’s not just about the immediate discomfort. The harshness of benzoyl peroxide can shake anyone’s confidence, turning skincare routines into a gamble. Is clearer skin today worth the irritation tomorrow? This dilemma can leave us feeling stuck, undermining our self-esteem just as much as the acne itself. It’s a cycle that too many of us know all too well, one that begs for a solution that respects our skin and our lifestyle.

Say Hello To The Geologie Clear System

The Geologie Clear System is changing the acne care game with its three-step routine. Engineered with a blend of salicylic acid, azelaic acid, and our patent-pending retinol leveling up system, this system takes a stand against acne without declaring all-out war on your skin. Each ingredient plays a crucial role: salicylic acid dives deep into pores to clear out debris, azelaic acid works to brighten and even skin tone, and retinol promotes cell turnover without the aggression. Together, they form a powerhouse dream team that combats acne gently and effectively.

In a 12 week double-blind clinical trial conducted by the Northwestern University Department of dermatology, the Geologie Clear System was shown to be just as effective as treatments based on benzoyl peroxide. Participants in the study said the Clear System made their skin softer, smoother, and more hydrated, while reporting less dryness, redness, itching and burning than benzoyl peroxide. Most importantly, participants said they actually looked forward to using the Clear System skincare routine, and strongly preferred to acne treatments that use benzoyl peroxide.

The Future Of Acne Care

Traditional acne solutions take a one-size-fits-all approach. They give you a product that nukes the acne, but it’s up to you to deal with the collateral damage. In contrast, with the Geologie Clear System, you get a holistic routine designed not just to eliminate acne, but produce truly beautiful skin. Instead of a single acne treatment, the Clear System advances in stages, so the treatment evolves as your skin improves. However, whether you’re on Level 1, Level 2, or Level 3, your skincare routine takes just 60 seconds every day.

On top of all that, the Clear System is also more ethical and sustainable, made from vegan and cruelty-free products, underscoring a broader commitment to not just the health of your skin, but the health of our planet. In that way, the Clear System isn’t just the future of acne care; it’s a step towards a more mindful approach to beauty and wellness in general.

Don’t Settle For Inferior Acne Treatments

The Geologie Clear System is a simple simple three-step routine offers not just a solution to acne but a transformation for your skin—effectively reducing breakouts, soothing irritation, and enhancing skin texture without the harsh side effects of traditional treatments. Best of all it’s backed by clinical studies and a commitment to building a more ethical and sustainable skincare industry.

Are you ready to take the first step towards clearer, healthier skin? Because right now it’s easier than ever. The Geologie Clear System is available on shelves at Target stores nationwide. But if you don’t want to wait, or you don’t think you can trust yourself to go to Target without buying a bunch of other stuff you don’t need, you can also buy the Clear System right now through the Geologie website. This is one impulse buy you definitely won’t regret.

How To Buy Tickets For Glastonbury Festival 2024

Earlier this morning, the first wave of artists performing at the massive Glastonbury Festival in the UK was revealed. As part of the 2024 lineup so far, Dua Lipa, Coldplay, SZA, Shania Twain, LCD Soundsystem, Idles, Disclosure, The National, Janelle Monáe, PJ Harvey, Cyndi Lauper, and many more will be performing.

The festival will be held from June 26 through June 30 this year.

Here’s what to know about how to get tickets.

How To Buy Tickets For Glastonbury Festival 2024

As of right now, tickets for Glastonbury Festival are sold out — and have been for a while. When the tickets went up for sale back in November, music lovers snapped them up within minutes.

“Our thanks to everyone who bought one and we’re sorry to those of you who missed out, on a morning when demand greatly exceeded supply,” the festival informed shortly after, according to The Standard.

However, there is still some hope. Some ticket buyers might not be able to afford it and cancel their tickets when they are set to be charged next month. If this happens, any returned tickets will go back up for sale. Only those who registered before the sale starts will be able to purchase, as Glastonbury is trying to prevent scammers.

Additional information about getting tickets for Glastonbury 2024 can be found on the festival’s website.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

‘Jeopardy!’ Made A Rare Mistake — And It Involves ‘The Simpsons’

sideshow bob
20th Television Animation

There aren’t supposed to be mistakes on Jeopardy! It’s the “smart” game show. Save that sh*t for Wheel of Fortune. But on Wednesday, the game show made a rare error.

The category was “Real Names of Unreal People.” The clue for $600: “Robert Underdunk Terwilliger is the real name of this vengeful The Simpsons character.” Troy Meyer, a music executive from Tampa, Florida, correctly guessed Sideshow Bob, but Jeopardy! had the incorrect name for the H.M.S. Pinafore-loving, Bart-murdering (non-canonical), dam-building villain.

“Yes @Jeopardy you made a rare mistake,” former Simpsons writer (and fast food expert) Bill Oakley wrote on X. “It’s ‘Onderdonk.’ And @Joshstrangehill and I are certain cause we wrote that script. Cc: @KenJennings.”

Jennings’ silence is louder than Krusty’s word of the day.

Sideshow Bob’s full name was revealed in the classic season six episode, “Sideshow Bob Roberts,” when Mayor Quimby pardons Bob and releases him from prison (“Boat’s on the other side”). Now, to be fair to Jeopardy!, even the voice of Sideshow Bob got it wrong. Back in 2014, Kelsey Grammer tweeted, “Fact: Sideshow Bob’s real name is Robert Underdunk Terwilliger, PhD. #EverySimpsonsEver.” Boy, I really hope somebody got fired for that blunder.

Triumph And Conan Helped A Song From Adam Sandler’s ‘Leo’ (Sorta) Crash The Oscars

The Oscars are a celebration of the year’s best movies and all the performances and craft work that power them, including original songs, as you well know after watching Ryan Gosling’s “I’m Just Ken” pink extravaganza 30 (let’s be honest, 50) times since Sunday night. As with all things, however, there are limits on how many films, performances, and songs get the honor of being nominated. A number far short of how many works deserve said honor.

To Leo co-writer and co-director Robert Smigel, who also wrote the original songs featured on the soundtrack, including the absolute bop, “When It’s Us” (as sung by Tiffany Topol), an Oscar snub presented an opportunity.

It started with a few social posts – Conan O’Brien, Judd Apatow, and award-winning composer Marc Shaiman making a plea for “When It’s Us” to get the Oscar spotlight while potentially being blackmailed by Smigel’s longtime creation, Triumph The Insult Comic Dog. That the nomination window had concluded was merely a detail, easily shrugged off.

As you can see above, those videos and Triumph’s MoveOnDotOrg petition worked… sorta. Topol does take to an Oscars stage (virtually), performing for a multi-generational blend of stars, some living, some dead, some with lizards tossed onto their heads. Also, Joey Fatone pops up in a lizard suit along with a couple of other lizard headed dancers.

The whole thing is funny and very on brand for Smigel (who, of course, is a legendary SNL writer who created Saturday TV Funhouse and wrote Hotel Transylvania), but it’s also a chance to honor the song. “While I couldn’t care less about awards, I thought this would be a funny way to draw attention to the song as well as the movie, which is one of the things I’m proudest of in my career,” Smigel told Uproxx before praising Topol’s voice and her own album, Sophomore Effort.

As for Smigel and Triumph, well they’ve got a comedy special coming to YouTube in the very near future. And Leo is, of course, available to stream on Netflix right now.

Hi Hi Hi: NSYNC Just Performed Live For The First Time In Over A Decade At A Justin Timberlake Concert

NSYNC Justin Timberlake 2023 MTV Video Music Awards

NSYNC has had a real presence in 2024 thanks to Justin Timberlake’s upcoming album, Everything I Thought It Was: The group reunites to feature on the song “Paradise.” This news came months after the five-piece got back together to release “Better Place,” a new song from the Trolls Band Together soundtrack. Now, the comeback continues: Timberlake performed at the Wiltern Theatre in Los Angeles last night (March 14), where his NSYNC bandmates joined him on stage for a stretch.

According to a Billboard review of the concert, the group “rocked with DJ tracks of ‘Gone’ and ‘Girlfriend’ before giving mini-performances of arguably their most enduring hits: ‘Bye Bye Bye’ and ‘It’s Gonna Be Me.’” They then performed “Paradise.” As NME notes, this is the first time NSYNC has performed live since 2013, when the group performed at that year’s MTV Video Music Awards.

Meanwhile, Timberlake is fresh off a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live!. There, he attempted to take over the show as guest host, much to the (scripted because it was all a bit, of course) surprise of Kimmel. Later, he also performed “No Angels,” one of his new Everything I Thought It Was songs.

Check out clips from NSYNC’s concert appearance below.

Seth Meyers And ‘Late Night’ Put Together The Definitive Compilation Of Trump’s ‘Brain Exploding’

During a congressional hearing this week, Democrats played a supercut of Donald Trump‘s many verbal blunders. “That is a man who is incapable of avoiding criminal liability, a man who is wholly unfit for office, and a man who, at the very least, ought to think twice before accusing others of cognitive decline,” committee member Rep. Jerry Nadler (D-N.Y.) said of the footage. Trump, naturally, blew a fuse about the video, but Late Night host Seth Meyers had another issue with the compilation: the Democrats stole his bit.

“I gotta say, I was a little irked. That’s our thing, guys. We’ve been doing that for nine years,” he said during Wednesday’s episode. “Our researchers have spent so much time sifting through videotape of Trump’s brain exploding, they’re scarred for life. You cannot outdo us, Congress, when it comes to a Trump montage. So don’t try because we can always out montage you. In fact, I’m going to prove right now. Hopefully this won’t be too long.”

Late Night writer Sal Gentile took this as a challenge. “[We] assembled the definitive collection of Trump’s most humiliating memory glitches and brain explosions in tonight’s Closer Look,” he wrote on X. “Here it is while @sethmeyers finds ways to occupy himself.”

Settle in, folks. This is a long one. You can watch the Trump-brain-mush montage above, beginning around 11:10.

Will Dua Lipa’s ‘Radical Optimism’ Album Be On Vinyl?

Dua Lipa Radical Optimism
Warner Records UK

On Wednesday, March 13, Dua Lipa doused her fans with announcements. Radical Optimism, her highly anticipated and long-teased third studio album, will be released on May 3. The UK pop star also revealed the album’s cover art and 11-song tracklist, including her already-dropped singles “Houdini” and “Training Season.”

“A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to the term ‘Radical Optimism,’” Lipa said in a statement. “It’s a concept that resonated with me, and I became more curious as I started to play with it and weave it into my life. It struck me — the idea of going through chaos gracefully and feeling like you can weather any storm. At the same time, I found myself looking through the music history of psychedelia, trip-hop, and Britpop. It has always felt so confidently optimistic to me, and that honesty and attitude is a feeling I took into my recording sessions.”

Will Dua Lipa’s Radical Optimism Album Be On Vinyl?

According to Lipa’s official website, Radical Optimism will be available for purchase on Lenticular CD ($17), cassette tape ($23), vinyl ($30), and an exclusive deluxe vinyl with a signed insert ($60). There are also two boxset options ($40).

Radical Optimism is out 5/3 via Warner Records UK. Find more information here.

Katie Britt Thought It Ruled That Scarlett Johansson Played Her In An ‘SNL’ Sketch That Made Her Seem Like A Hammy Creep

Scarlett Johansson SNL
NBC

Last week Katie Britt went from semi-obscure MAGA lawmaker to semi-household name. It wasn’t for a good reason. She was the poor Republican chosen to deliver the predictably chaotic rebuttal to Joe Biden’s fiery State of the Union speech, and her soliloquy — hammy and creepy in equal measure — became instant comedy fodder. Britt was so over-the-top that SNL tapped no less than Scarlett Johansson to play her in a devastating parody. Well, guess what? Britt liked it!

“I’ve got to be honest with you, a bingo card for 2024 for Katie Britt. I did not have this on it, right?” Britt told Ted Cruz on his podcast Wednesday, per Raw Story. “It certainly didn’t have Scarlett Johansson playing me … We were talking to the kids about all of it and they were like, ‘oh my gosh, mom.’ ….and I said, you know, look. It could have been worse. You have Black Widow. They bring in someone from the Avengers to play me in the cold open. I’m here for it.”

To Cruz, this was a win for Britt. “The thing that is the coolest is that you’re played by Scarlett Johansson. OK, Katie, look. To be candid, Scarlett Johansson is hot,” he told her. “And I am genuinely jealous because SNL has come after me a bunch of times, they don’t ever have Tom Cruise play me. How come you get a gorgeous movie star?”

Cruz lamented that, like Britt, he’s been played by a woman on SNL, not a man, though even that he didn’t mind. “They cast Aidy Bryant as me and she is funny,” he said. “They had her in like cornrows and sipping a margarita and it was hysterical.” He added, “I laughed. I thought it was awesome. And by the way, Aidy looks pretty good in the beard.”

So are Britt and Cruz good sports or are they just dense? It’s hard to tell, although they should probably keep that they watch SNL hush-hush lest the wannabe dictator who runs their party find out they watch his most hated show (that he also almost certainly watches).

In the sketch in question, Johansson nailed Britt’s tradwife energy and bad vibes. “You see, I’m not just a senator,” Johansson’s Britt said early on. “I’m a wife, a mother, and the craziest bitch in the Target parking lot.”

You can watch the Katie Britt sketch with the Katie Britt approval in the video below:

Nikola Jokic Ended Nuggets-Heat With A Turnover Because He Put The Ball Down To Hug Bam Adebayo And Bam Picked It Up

nikola jokic bam adebayo
ESPN

The NBA gave us a rematch of the 2023 Finals on Wednesday night as the Denver Nuggets traveled to South Beach to play the Miami Heat. It was a low-scoring game, but thanks to a game-high 25 points by Michael Porter Jr., Denver was able to leave Miami with a 100-88 win that moved them into sole possession of first place in the Western Conference.

Nikola Jokic had to deal with getting guarded by Bam Adebayo, and while he still had a nice night, Jokic wasn’t able to put up the sort of gaudy stats that we’re used to seeing out of him. The two-time NBA MVP had 12 points on 5-for-8 shooting with 14 rebounds, six assists, and four turnovers. In fairness, three of those turnovers came over the course of the game, while the fourth came because he was being a nice guy. As the final seconds were ticking down, Jokic put the ball down so he could show Adebayo some love. Once they went their separate ways, Adebayo picked up the basketball.

The catch: He did this before the clock hit zero, which means it went down in the box score as a steal for him and a turnover for Jokic.

This ended up being Adebayo’s only steal of the night, so if you were a bettor who had money on him recording over 0.5 steals against the Nuggets, congratulations on your win.
