Danielle Gronich 

Danielle Gronich, known as The Acne Guru™, is the co-founder, formulator and CEO of CLEARSTEM Skincare: a toxin-free, stem-cell based skincare line that uses premium active ingredients to target acne, premature aging, DNA damage and melasma. 

After struggling for 10+ years with cystic acne – including three failed rounds of Accutane and overpriced laser treatments – Danielle dove into the latest clinical research and discovered that most acne products contain toxic, hormone-disrupting ingredients, while products that address aging are full of pore-clogging fillers. 

Determined to deliver a safer, more effective alternative to conventional skincare, Danielle went on to earn her license as a clinical esthetician and acne specialist. She opened the renowned San Diego Acne Clinic in 2014, where she quickly earned her reputation as The Acne Guru™ working with patients of all ages, ethnicities and skin types. 

In 2017, Danielle joined forces with Holistic Nutritionist Kayleigh Christina to formulate CLEARSTEM Skincare, and the duo are excited to be launching a telehealth wing to help thousands of people get to the root cause of their acne through accessible and comprehensive lab testing. Beyond skincare, Danielle’s mission is to use CLEARSTEM for a force of good on her entrepreneurial journey.
