I have yet to meet anyone who doesn't suffer from blackheads, even if they have amazing skin. They occur in both dry and oily skins, which is why this gel has been formulated to accommodate all skin types.
You apply this lotion after cleansing. To start with, its great to use once a day as part of your daily routine. However as it does its work, you'll find once to twice a week works well as a maintenance program. Simply cleanse as usual at night, then apply the gel. Do not use in conjunction with microdermabrasion. Leave at least 2 days between both treatments.
The miracle ingredient is Salicylic acid. SA is similar to the compound in aspirin... so if you are allergic to aspirin, you are advised to avoid any and all products containing it.
The mild BHA (beta hydroxy acid), penetrates the pores and exfoliates the pore lining, digesting dead cells, removing old oil and has a mild antiseptic effect. It gets rid of whiteheads, blackheads, can help with milia and bigger forms of acne.
It also contains Allantoin, well reputed to be one of the greatest skin healers ever. It is sourced from Comfrey root- (a lovely healing herb) and speeds up cell renewal to increase healing.
Aloe Vera is also included for hydration and cell repair. Best part? It really does work!!!
Should be used once a day at night after cleansing. Unless you have very dry skin you don't need to moisturise afterwards. Using in the day can cause photosensitivity and a higher likelyhood of being burnt. Use a good suncreen in the morning instead.
Ingredients: Aloe Vera Juice, Jojoba Oil, Glycerine, Salicylic Acid, Allantoin, Xanthan Gum, Guar Gum, Papaya Extract, Dehydroxyacetic Acid, Benzyl Alcohol, Lime, Sweet Orange, Rosemary, Lavender and Teatree Essential oils.

This product is totally totally out of this world amazing!!!
For years I struggled with problem skin, and even as a 20 something year old I am still plagued with spots and such. It is not at all fun.
But this product has helped so so much. I have better skin now that I have ever had in my life, it is just magic!!!
Honestly it is the best thing I've ever done for my skin. It is just simply amazing.

My skin is actually clear and glowing, and this is coming from someone who has been trying to fight blemishes/blackheads for 7+ years.
