How To Use
Evening use only. Apply to clean skin two times per week. Gradually increase usage as your skin permits, e.g. 3 times per week. Apply a non-pore clogging moisturizer after application. If your skin becomes too dry or irritated, give your skin a break for several days and then resume with less frequency.
Pro tip:To reduce dehydration, mix RESET with HERO moisturizer in a 1:1 ratio before applying to skin. To avoid an increase in pigmentation and inflammation, you must wear SPF 30+ sunscreen and avoid direct sunlight while using this product. Using more than one acne product at the same time may cause irritation and dryness. Benzoyl peroxide bleaches clothing.
Keep out of reach of children. For topical use only. Avoid using around your eyes and lips. Perform a small test near your jawline 24 hours before applying to your entire face. If you experience trouble swallowing or your tongue, eyes or lips become swollen, seek emergency medical attention.
