How To Use: Glucoside Foaming Cleanser
Dispense into hands. Massage well onto a wet face and rinse with warm water.

How To Use: Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
Clean skin thoroughly before application. Cover the entire affected area with a thin layer one to three times daily. Start with one application daily because excessive drying may occur, then gradually increase to two or three times daily if needed or as directed by a doctor. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce use to once daily or every other day.
Using another topical acne medication at the same time increases the likelihood of irritation and dryness. If irritation occurs, use only one topical acne medication at a time. If eye contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water.

Patch Test: Salicylic Acid 2% Solution
Apply as directed to a small area once daily for three days to test for sensitivity. If irritation, hives, swelling of the eyes or mouth, blistering or difficulty breathing develops, rinse off, stop use and consult a doctor right away.

How To Use: Natural Moisturizing Factors + Beta Glucan
Apply a small amount to the face in the morning and evening.
