How often should I use the Advanced Acne Pads?Apply Advanced Acne Pads once daily. Gradually increase usage to 2 or 3 times a day as needed.
Will the product cause irritation?Because of the high concentration of Glycolic and Salicylic Acids, it may take some time for skin to get used to the treatment. Begin with 1 application daily, then gradually increase to 2 - 3 times daily as needed. Once skin has become accustomed to the treatment, irritation, redness or dryness usually disappears. Discontinue use and consult a physician if irritation persists.
Why is Salicylic Acid an effective ingredient in acne treatment?Salicylic Acid helps prevent clogged pores by gently exfoliating oily residues and dead skin cells from the surface. By removing this organic debris, new cells are revealed and pores are kept free of acne-causing bacteria. Salicylic Acid also helps smooth skin and refines skin texture.
What do you recommend for problem skin?Keep skin clean by washing with
Daily Face Wash twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. Apply Advanced Acne Pads to eliminate blemishes and blackheads and clear pores. Apply
Acne Spot Repair directly to blemishes to diminish them in 24 hours. Only use products that are non-irritating and noncomedogenic. Do not pick at or pop blemishes, and twice a week, use
Microfine Face Scrub to exfoliate skin and unclog pores.
Does tanning clear up acne?No, it does not. When you tan, dead cells build up on your skin's surface. This can often cause pores to seem smaller and the surface to appear smoother. Tanning masks redness caused by acne, but once the tan disappears acne will become apparent once again. Exposure to the sun can also darken acne scars and marks, so protect skin regularly by using
TiO2 Sunblock SPF 30 when you go outside.
Is acne caused by eating greasy foods?Contrary to popular belief, there is very little scientific evidence to back up this claim. However, you should aim to eat a balanced diet full of vitamins from fruits and vegetables, and drink plenty of water for overall well-being.
