It's gentle, effective, and cleared my active pimples within a week. A lot of the negatives reviews seem to be from people who didn't use it correctly, so I want to give some pointers so you can get the most out of this product: - DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE ALLERGIC TO ASPIRIN. Salicylic acid is from the same family of compounds. - DO NOT USE IF YOU ARE PREGNANT OR TRYING TO GET PREGNANT. Salicylic acid is not safe for use during pregnancy. - ALWAYS DO A PATCH TEST BEHIND YOUR EAR. Even if you don't have a known allergy to any of the ingredients, it's better safe than sorry. Okay, so with all that out of the way, here's what I did to get the best results: - Don't use this as an actual "cleanser". It's a treatment face wash, and it's not really a good idea to use anything with Salicylic acid to remove makeup either, especially around your eyes. This is true whether you have sensitive skin or not. Instead, use a makeup remover (or cleansing oil or whatever) to remove the makeup first, then do a quick wash with a really creamy cleanser (I used CeraVe Hydrating), THEN use a dime-size amount of the Neutralyze and apply it like you would a face mask (avoiding the eye area, lips, nostrils, etc). Leave it on for 1-2 minutes and wash it off, then follow up with a moisturizer IMMEDIATELY on WET skin and let it dry. This will help prevent your skin from drying out since you essentially "triple cleansed". Even better if the moisturizer has ceramides in it. If daytime, follow up with sunscreen after the moisturizer dries. If nighttime, you're good to go. Maybe do another layer of moisturizer. - If you're not wearing makeup, you can do a spot cleanse with a creamy cleanser around your eyes and then apply the Neutralyze on the rest of your face. - Don't use it in the same routine as tretinoin/Retin-A, adapalene/Differin, or any retinol for that matter. They will inactivate each other and dry the crap out of your face for good measure. Use it the morning after retinol or maybe the next night, just not at the same time. You can use it with Benzoyl Peroxide, but tread with caution, since BP is drying as hell. - Start off with once every other day. If that works for you, great. If not, then you can slowly build up to once or twice a day. Not everyone needs to use this twice a day to see best results. - Active acne will calm down first, within a week or two. Blackheads and sebacious filaments will take a bit longer and any dark spots (post inflammatory hyperpigmentation or eythema/redness) will take the longest to go. - If you start breaking out worse with the use of this product, and you've done all of the above, and ruled out any allergies, you may just be purging, especially if you've never used Salicylic Acid before. This means whatever pimples were underneath your skin and were going to surface at some point anyway are coming up all at once. Again, this is true whether or not your skin is sensitive, and it doesn't mean that this is a bad product. Give it a chance and stick through it for 6 weeks, because that's generally how long salicylic acid takes to show best results and in most cases, it gets much worse before it gets better. Moisturize your skin, don't overwhelm it with too many active ingredients, and you should be fine. After going through all of the above, if you still hate it after 6 weeks, by all means toss it. Sorry for the wall of text, but I hope the above info helps someone! P.S. This is also amazing for softening up keratosis pilaris (AKA chicken skin or goose skin) on your arms and legs. Absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and I hope they never change or discontinue it. Review: Great on Dark Skin (African American) - This stuff worked great for my skin. Saw a difference in sebum production after one use an got that nice "glass skin" look after about a week. ## Features - Maximum Strength Face Wash For Moderate To Severe Acne: Give your skin the peace it deserves with Neutralyze Acne Face Wash, a maximum strength acne cleanser face wash for severe acne.

Saw a difference in sebum production after one use an got that nice "glass skin" look after about a week. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would definitely recommend it to a friend *by �***❦ on July 9, 2020* (I’ve been using the two products for abt 5 days)feels a little tight but other than that it’s a cheap and actually good,the only thing is that yes it clears most on your acne like I would say 91% of it but I’m still getting acne like actual pimples with the white stuff(puss) which is grosss but I’m using other stuff to help with that cause I think it’s the moisturizer(the Neutralyze moisturizer) or the face wash that causes them the thing I’m using for is a benzoyl spot acne treatment, but yes it takes out most of it but I don’t like that it does that. It feels like it makes the acne rise up to the surface from under your skin so I think it’s good so it prevents future break outs like it said it would ( helps with black heads too) ## Frequently Bought Together - Neutralyze Acne Wash for Face with 2% Mandelic Acid & 2% Salicylic Acid - Professional Grade, A.H.A. + B.H.A.
