Daily routine (morning and evening)

  1. Cleanse — Acne Face Wash. Wet skin, massage in, rinse, pat dry.
  2. Exfoliate/treat — Exfoliating Pads. Wipe a pad over the affected area. Do not rinse. (Start once daily; increase gradually.)
  3. Moisturize/treat — Renewal Complex. Apply a thin layer once skin is dry.
  4. Daytime only — SPF 30+. Salicylic and mandelic acid increase sun sensitivity; sunscreen is essential, especially while fading dark spots.
  5. Makeup can be applied after Renewal Complex has absorbed (3–5 minutes).

Pairing with other actives

  • Retinoids (retinol, adapalene, tretinoin): use Neutralyze in the morning and the retinoid at night, or alternate nights. The Face Wash rinses off and pairs freely.
  • Hydrating ingredients (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide): layer after Neutralyze steps have dried.
  • Strong vitamin C (L-ascorbic acid): use at the opposite time of day.
  • Benzoyl peroxide: avoid layering at the same time of day; consult a dermatologist.
Every Neutralyze product exfoliates. If you use all three plus other actives, watch for over-exfoliation (persistent dryness or irritation) and scale back frequency.
