NeutralyzeModerate To Severe Acne Face Wash - Maximum Strength Acne Facial Cleanser With Mandelic Acid

This face wash is one of the best salicylic acid washes I've found that is fragrance free. 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.- Make sure your moisturizer is not clogging your pores. I used a "non comedogenic" moisturizer (CeraVe PM) for years before realizing it had pore clogging ingredients. Check CosDNA for your product and be careful with anything rated 2 or above in the acne column. Sometimes a moisturizer could be fine otherwise but clog your pores depending on other products in your routine.- 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.

No me cayó bien el producto. En cuanto lo empece a usar me saco granos que desde los 15 años no había visto. En cuanto suspendí su uso cesaron de salir.

To whom it may concern, I am an adult woman who suffers from moderate acne which is quite embarrassing when you're in your early 30s. So I went online on Amazon to research acne products and was actually set on ordering Proactive, as I had used this in the past with moderate results. However, during my research I came across the Neutralyze skin care line and started reading all of the amazing testimonials and reviews. I decided to try this product not only for myself but for my 17 year old son who is a senior this year and has senior pictures coming up. The reviews all said that you could see results in as little as 2 to 3 days and significant results within 2 to 3 weeks. This really got my attention and I'm so glad I chose this product. Have been using it for several weeks now along with my son, and we have seen amazing results! When they say that you can see Improvement within a couple of days, that's not a gimmick, that's absolutely true! And within a couple of weeks I can see significant change in my skin, from my complexion looking much more fresh a d bright, instead of dull like it was before. I've also noticed that my skin where I used to have dark spots, has started to all become one consistent skin tone. I used to suffer from rosacea mildly and this has also significantly reduce the redness to my skin. I would absolutely tell anyone who's suffering from acne to give this a try over much wider known products as I've had amazing results along with my son, who obviously is thrilled as this is his senior year. It makes him and I much more confident, and makes me feel wonderful that I can do something to boost my son's self-esteem as he struggled with acne for years now. And as an adult woman myself, it's significantly boosted my self-esteem as I thought those acne years should have been over a long time ago. I'd also like to add as a side note that I had an issue with my delivery, through no fault of Neutralyze but through the post office, I contacted Neutralyze through Amazon immediately to let them know the circumstances, and within a day they had reached out to me and fixed the issue completely, through no cost to me at all! Amazing customer service, amazing product, definitely 5 stars, and will continue to use as long as it's available! Thank you so much Neutralyze❣🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Neutralyze has been very effective at clearing my adult acne. For the past few years, I have been dealing with cystic acne which I never had before. I did try a treatment that is advertised on TV but, when I stopped using it, my face only got worse. I had gone to my dermatologist and she told me the what I was using will make acne worse when stopped. So, she gave me a prescription strength topical cream along with antibiotics. Both worked and helped my skin recover from the previous treatment I tried. I did find that my skin was drying out from the prescription strength cream and I did not want to be on antibiotics long term. So, I sought out other treatments that could possibly help me when I get flares of both acne and cystic acne.Last year, I came across Neutralyze and purchased the set that included the facial wash and was very surprised at how well it worked. It cleared up my acne and also the cystic acne that I was getting and it did not dry out my face. When I stopped using it, my acne did not come back either. Since running out of Step 2 and Step 3, I was very happy that I could purchase just what I needed without buying the whole set again. I do not use the facial wash but another brand made for sensitive skin and this product still works just fine.I use this product only when I have a breakout both morning and night. It does not burn or irritate my face, it is very gentle for being so effective. After cleansing my face, I apply Step 2 which is the Clearing Serum or Step 2. I use about 3 to 4 drops to cover my face and then let dry. Step 2 works to dry up acne, corrects the skin tone, reduces pore size and also helps fade dark spots from acne. Once the Clearing Serum is dry, I then apply the Synergyer or Step 3. I also use about 3 to 4 drops to cover my face. Step 3 reduces redness, prevents drying and enhances the overall condition of the skin. When I apply Step 3, my face looks very healthy and has a nice glow to it, I truly love wearing step 3.Very happy that I purchased Neutralyze because it has helped me tremendously with my adult acne along with cystic acne. This is a product that I would recommend to others who are also dealing with the same issues.

I have skin that’s prone to breakouts and this helps my skin to heal. It foams up nicely and leaves my skin feeling fresh. It is a bit drying so I alternate with a more gentle cleanser when I am satisfied with the level of exfoliation. Following up with a light moisturizer helps.
