Details
Cleansing Milk and Balancing Toner keep skin calm and hydrated, prepping skin for treatment. Benzoyl Wash and Acne Cream work together to unclog pores and target breakouts while the BHA Exfoliating Essence controls oil and removes dead skin for a bright, smooth, even complexion. Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is recommended daily to keep blemishes from scaring due to UV exposure.
For Oily, Problematic Skin
Note: Benzoyl is a powerful cleanser and may irritate very sensitive skin. Reduce application if itching or peeling occurs. Consult your physician if irritation persists.
How To Use
Acne Benzoyl Wash: Squeeze a small amount of product (quarter-sized) into hands. Gently massage into skin using circular upward motions for 20 seconds. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. For PM use only.*
Acne Cream: Cleanse skin thoroughly before applying. Gently pat a thin layer over blemishes. Use once per day. Use a sunscreen while using this product.
BHA Exfoliating Essence 2%: Place onto a clean cotton round and apply to face and neck being careful to avoid the eye area. Do not rinse. Use after cleansing and toning. Start with every other day and work up to 1-2x daily.
Cleansing Milk: Wet face. Squeeze product into hands. Gently massage into face, neck, and décolleté using circular upward motions. Follow with a splash of lukewarm water. Rinse thoroughly and pat dry. Can be used AM and PM.
Balancing Toner: Apply after cleansing with a cotton ball. Using upward strokes, smooth over face, neck, and décolleté. Can be used AM and PM.
SPF 50: Apply liberally to face, neck and décolleté to protect skin from UV rays indoors and outdoors 15 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every two hours. Use a water-resistant sunscreen if swimming or sweating.
*Note: Before using, test on a very small area of the jaw line for 2 days. If there is redness and swelling, please discontinue use. Because excessive drying may occur, start with once daily application. If dryness or peeling becomes bothersome, reduce application to every other day. Do not use if you are allergic to Benzoyl Peroxide or have sensitive skin. Ask a doctor before use if you are using other topical acne medications.

FAQ
I don't know what regimen is best for me.
No problem! Make an appointment to visit us either in the spa or virtually by clicking here.
Should I do a patch test when first using Acne Benzoyl Wash?
Yes. Apply using cotton swabs (Q-tip) on a very small area of the jawline for 2 days. If there is no allergic reaction, start applying the product all over the face. If there is swelling, please discontinue use.
Who should use Benzoyl Peroxide?
Benzoyl Peroxide works especially well for inflammatory acne but is helpful for all acne disorders.
What side effects should I expect from Benzoyl Peroxide?
The most common side effects are dryness, itching, mild irritation, as well as light peeling and redness. You should always start with a patch test to make sure you do not have a more serious reaction. You should avoid using Benzoyl Peroxide with other medications that dry out or irritate your skin. You should consult a doctor for any concerns or severe reactions.
Should I avoid moisturizing since I have oily / acneic skin?
No! Applying a moisturizer like our Hydrating Gel or Active Moisturizer can help relieve some of the common side effects of using Benzoyl Peroxide.
Will my skin be sensitive to the sun when using Benzoyl Peroxide?
Yes. Like many products that treat acne, Benzoyl Peroxide also makes your skin more susceptible to burns. Make sure you use a daily broad-spectrum sunscreen while using this product.
Should I use a makeup removing cleanser before I use Cleansing Milk?
This cleanser can be used to remove makeup. Apply cleanser to dry skin using gentle circular motions to break up and lift makeup, wiping away with a clean cloth or tissue. Then double cleanse with lukewarm water for a deeper clean.
I have oily skin - should I avoid Cleansing Milk?
No! If you're prone to breakouts simply filter in a purifying cleanser or acne treatment cleanser, like our Acne Benzoyl Wash, a few times a week to deep clean pores. Just be careful not to use them too frequently or you may dry out your skin.
Does everyone need a toner?
Yes! After cleansing the skin the pH is typically down to 3. A toner helps neutralize the skin back to a natural balance of 5.5 pH. This helps prepare the skin for better absorption of your treatment products.
Won't toner make my skin more dry?
No, this is an alcohol-free toner that is designed to help restore moisture and balance to the skin.
Does this sunscreen help protect against Blue Light damage?
Yes, the ingredients Zinc Oxide and Titanium Dioxide help fight skin aging by protecting the skin from the free radicals in blue light.
