Correct + Restore Starter System

AM

1. Purify + Control Acne Cleanser: One pump to damp skin. Massage gently for one minute. Rinse thoroughly, avoiding the eye area.
2. Rebuild + Hydrate: Apply a generous amount to the face and neck after cleansing. Gently massage until absorbed.
3. Broad Spectrum Non-Comedogenic Sunscreen: Apply two-finger lengths all over the face and reapply every 3-4 hours to keep your skin protected. .

PM

1. Acne Cleanser: If you're wearing heavy makeup or sunscreen, double cleanse.
2. Target + Repair

• Apply a thin layer of Target + Repair spot corrector directly on the active acne during your PM routine. Do not apply all over the face.
• Allow the gel to dry and then apply Neothera’s Rebuild + Hydrate Moisturizer.
• Always use sunscreen during the day while using any spot corrector.
• You may experience mild tingling on application, which is the actives penetrating and working. Inflammation calms noticeably within the first day. 
• Do not use with Retinol, Tretinoin, Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Kojic Acid, or Gluconolactone since these pose an irritation risk when combined with Benzoyl Peroxide.
• Safe to use with other actives.
• For utlra-dry or sensitive skin, apply the moisturizer before and after using the spot corrector gel (sandwich method)

3. Rebuild + Hydrate: Allow the spot corrector gel to dry and then apply Rebuild + Hydrate Moisturizer.

TARGET + REPAIR:
All ingredients: Aqua, Aqua (and) Benzoyl Peroxide, Propylene Glycol, Hexylene Glycol, Carbomer, Salicylic Acid, PEG 40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Propanediol (and) Aqua (and) Enteromorpha Compressa Extract (and) Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract (and) Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract (and) Citric Acid, Aqua (and) Sodium Hyaluronate (and) 1,2-Hexanediol, Trehalose, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Hydroxide, Sodium Gluconate

Micronized Benzoyl Peroxide 4%
A patented Benzoyl Peroxide blend that is designed to penetrate deeper into the skin without irritating and drying. It penetrates directly into the inflamed pore to eliminate acne-causing bacteria, dissolve pore blockages and reduce swelling. This targeted action is one reason Benzoyl Peroxide is good for acne, especially for active inflammatory breakouts.

Salicylic Acid 1%
Unclogs pores and helps reduce blackheads, excess oil, and dirt buildup. Salicylic Acid supports this targeted treatment by helping keep pores clear while calming redness and swelling without over-drying the skin.

Hyaluronic Acid 1%
Infuses hydration into the skin to counteract the dryness associated with acne relief actives, helping protect the skin barrier and keeping the skin comfortable while active breakouts are treated.

REBUILD + HYDRATE
All Ingredients: Aqua, Squalane, Coco-Caprylate/Caprate, Glycerin, Dimethicone, Niacinamide, Linoleic Acid (and) Linolenic Acid, Propanediol, Aqua (and) Laminaria Digitata Extract (and) Cetyl-PG Hydroxyethyl Palmitamide (and) Ceramide EOP (and) Ceramide NS/Ceramide NG (and) Ceramide NP (and) Ceramide AS (and) Ceramide AP (and) Cholesterol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Panthenol, Cetearyl Alcohol (and) Cetearyl Glucoside, Sorbitan Monostearate, Tranexamic Acid, Propanediol (and) Aqua (and) Enteromorpha Compressa Extract (and) Silybum Marianum Fruit Extract (and) Ocimum Sanctum Leaf Extract (and) Citric Acid, Caprylhydroxamic Acid (and) Glyceryl Caprylate (and) Glycerin, Phenoxyethanol, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Cetyl Alcohol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Sodium Gluconate, Titanium Dioxide (and) Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride.

Active Ingredients:

• Linoleic Acid + Ceramides + Squalane:
  Biomimic the skin’s natural lipid system to help rebuild barrier strength and lock in deep, lasting hydration. These barrier-supporting ingredients make Rebuild + Hydrate an effective moisturizer for acne-prone skin, helping strengthen compromised skin while maintaining optimal hydration levels.
• Niacinamide:
  Helps regulate excess sebum, visibly reduces redness and helps fade post-acne marks.
• Panthenol:
  High-performing humectant that soothes irritation, supports skin repair and improves moisture retention, helping keep acne-prone skin hydrated and comfortable.

Base Technology:

• Acne-safe, ultra-light occlusives:
  Lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturizer base that uses Dimethicone and Squalane instead of heavier pore-clogging occlusives like petrolatum, oils or butters. This helps prevent moisture loss without sitting heavy on the skin.
• pH system:
  Formulated in the pH range of 5.5 to 6.0 to complement the skin's natural pH, so the active ingredients work at optimal efficacy and support the skin’s microbiome.
• Fragrance free:
  Rebuild + Hydrate is completely fragrance free, designed for the unique needs of sensitive and acne prone skin. The product’s smell comes from its active ingredients.

Ramp-up for sensitive skin: Patch test Target + Repair on one spot and wait 24 hours. If there's no excess irritation, start on alternate nights before moving to nightly use.

Patch test: Apply Target + Repair to one small area, wait 24 hours before wider use.

Retinoid compatibility: Target + Repair can be used alongside a prescription retinoid, but not on the same night - combining Benzoyl Peroxide and a retinoid raises irritation risk. Rebuild + Hydrate is compatible with retinoids and is recommended alongside them: apply after the retinoid absorbs (2-3 minutes), or for very dry or reactive skin, layer moisturizer both before and after the retinoid.

What not to layer: Don't combine Target + Repair with Retinol, Tretinoin, Vitamin C, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Kojic Acid, or Gluconolactone on the same night - these raise irritation risk in combination with Benzoyl Peroxide.

Timeline: Inflammation visibly calms within the first day of spot treatment. Visible reduction in spot size and redness within 3 days. Surface healing by around 7 days - faster than the 2-3 weeks acne typically takes to resolve untreated.
