Acne

The word “acne” means different things to different people. Basically though any bumps, open sores, blackheads or other eruptions especially on the face are unwanted. Gentleness is important, whether the acne is due to teenage issues or rosacea. The following products help clear, clean and heal, and they don’t strip out the important natural sebum or cause acne rebound.

Acne Clear & Clean Wash Top-ten product

Antibacterial / Antiseptic. (Formerly called Acne Cleansing Oil) For those with skin that is dry, oily or combination. Proper daily skin cleaning is essential for removing excess sebum, oils, makeup, dead cells and dirt particles, which cause and/or exacerbate skin problems like acne. This product will tackle difficult facial skin issues, including psoriasis, acne and rosacea. After shaking the bottle thoroughly, when rubbed between your hands or on your washcloth, it will turn to a creamy lather.
