Details & care
What it is: A potent and unique lightweight gel cream that helps clear, prevent, treat and calm acne.
What it does: It contains 2% salicylic acid, which helps clear active acne blemishes and helps prevent future breakouts. A potent 5% oligopeptide-10 complex helps purify the look of pores, and 1% time-released microencapsulated retinol, vitamin C and panthothenic acid help treat the appearance of post-acne marks. Aloe vera helps calm and soothe the appearance of irritated, overly-treated acne-prone skin for a healthier, more balanced look.
How to use: On a cleansed face, cover the entire affected area with a thin layer 1–3 times daily as needed. Use an SPF after daytime application.

Must have for acne
I purchased this for my teenager with acne after trying many other products with no results. We use this product daily with amazing progress. His skin is clearing with less breakouts. We also use the Therapeutic Sulfur Mask 2-3 times per week and have had no issues with skin drying.

Contains silicone (despite description)
This probably works for most people, but it is not silicone-free as claimed in the description here. It contains dimethicone, which is silicone. Experience has demonstrated that, for me, dimethicone and an any other form of silicone blocks my pores causing milia to develop as well as acne.

Does the job!
Really does the job! My annoying sideburns acne disappeared after about 10 days using the cream morning and evenings.

Amazing Stuff!
This is great. My daughters skin is clearing up. She’s 12 and the acne is just horrible. Within one week of using this cream, her little face is clearing up. Still had pink spots but they will fade too.
