Cleanse + Correct Starter System

AM

1. Purify + Control Acne Cleanser: One pump on damp skin. Massage gently for one minute. Rinse thoroughly, avoiding the eye area.
2. Non-Comedogenic Moisturizer: 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. Purify + Control Acne Cleanser: One pump to damp skin. Massage gently for one minute. Rinse thoroughly, avoiding the eye area.
   (Note: If you're wearing heavy makeup or sunscreen, double cleanse: micellar water or an oil cleanser first, then use Purify + Control as your second cleanse.)
2. Target + Repair Spot Treatment:

• 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.

3. Non-Comedogenic Moisturizer: 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

Active Ingredients:

• 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.

PURIFY + CONTROL

All Ingredients: Aqua, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Sorbitol, Capryloyl/Caproyl Methyl Glucamide (and) Lauroyl/Myristoyl Methyl Glucamide, PEG-400, Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Lauryl Glucoside, PEG 160 Sorbitan Triisostearate, Propanediol, Salicylic Acid, Ceteareth-60 Myristyl Glycol, Potassium Olivoyl PCA, Succinic Acid, Salicylic Acid (and) Polyvinylpyrrolidone (and) Cyclodextrin, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Phenoxyethanol, Sodium Chloride, Zinc PCA, Hibiscus Rosa-Sinensis Extract, Abelmoschus Moschatus Extract, Sodium Gluconate, Citric Acid.

Active Ingredients:

• Dual-action Salicylic Acid 2%
  Uses a combination of free and encapsulated Salicylic Acid. The free form instantly works to unclog pores, excess oil and dirt buildup, while the encapsulated form delivers sustained action to continuously decongest pores and reduce blackheads.
• Succinic Acid 1%
  Tackles acne-causing bacteria while helping reduce irritation and visible redness. 
• Zinc PCA 0.3%
  Zinc regulates oil production, fights harmful bacteria and reduces redness, while PCA ensures deeper delivery. 

Base Technology:

• Surfactant System
  A mild, sulfate-free blend of amphoteric and non-ionic surfactants (Cocamidopropyl Betaine, glucamides and glucosides) is paired with Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate to create a soft, low-irritation cleanse. Effectively removes oil, dirt and buildup while maintaining skin barrier balance.
• pH system
  Formulated within the skin’s natural pH range of 4.5 to 5.0, this cleanser supports the optimal performance of Salicylic Acid and prevents the disruption caused by high-pH formulas.

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.

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. Do not use Purify + Control just before or after invasive procedures like chemical peels or micro-needling.

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.

Timeline: Inflammation visibly calms within the first day of spot treatment. Visible reduction in spot size and redness can be expected within 3 days.
