How do I use the Acne Starter Kit?
Once your purchase is complete, you’ll receive an email with detailed INSTRUCTIONS for optimal use of each product in the kit. Please check your spam folder if it doesn’t arrive in your main inbox. The routine was thoughtfully designed to simplify acne care without skipping critical steps, so we recommend following it closely at first for the best results.
That said, everyone’s skin is unique, and you may need to make small adjustments based on your skin's response. This could mean shortening the exposure time to the Acne Gel, using it every other day, or applying it as a spot treatment only if you're experiencing sensitivity. You’re never alone—feel free to reach out to us if you need personalized guidance along the way.
Can I use the Acne Starter Kit if I have sensitive skin?
The products in the regular Acne Starter Kit are formulated to be as barrier-friendly as possible, even when using Benzoyl Peroxide. However, if your skin is extremely sensitive or irritated, it’s important to patch-test and build tolerance slowly, starting with once-a-day use.
For those with delicate or reactive skin, we offer a separate Acne Starter Kit for Sensitive Skin. This specialized kit features a gentler cleanser and toner designed to buffer and counteract the drying effects of Benzoyl Peroxide, providing effective acne care while being less drying and more soothing for sensitive skin types.
Will the Acne Starter Kit dry out my skin?
Dryness is a known side effect of many acne treatments, especially Benzoyl Peroxide. That’s why the products in this kit are crafted to work in harmony—the moisturizer and toner specifically help balance and soothe, minimizing excessive dryness when used consistently and as directed. For best results, please hydrate, moisturize the skin and use antioxidant products to offset the drying effects of the acne treatment.
How long until I see results?
Many users report improvement in oil control and breakout frequency within the first 2–4 weeks, but acne treatment is a process. With consistent use, the skin becomes clearer and more balanced over time. Patience and consistency are key.
How long will the Acne Starter Kit last?
The kit should last approximately 8–12 weeks. You may run out of the Acne Gel and Daily Moisturizer around week 8, while the cleanser and toner should last least 3 months or longer. The products are highly concentrated, so there is no need to overuse them.
Are there age restrictions for this kit?
Yes, this kit is not recommended for individuals under 13 years of age, as the active ingredients may be too strong for very young skin.
Do I need to refrigerate the products?
Refrigeration is not required, but it’s very important to store any products containing Benzoyl Peroxide at temperatures between 59°F and 77°F (15°C to 25°C) to maintain their efficacy and stability.
Can I pair the Acne Starter Kit with other skincare products?
Yes, but always prioritize moisturizing, hydrating and antioxidant-rich products to support your skin’s barrier. Avoid layering multiple strong actives unless directed by a skincare professional. When in doubt, stick with the system until your skin adjusts.
