Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System is a three-part acne system that contains a cleanser, lotion and SPF moisturizer to help treat existing breakouts and prevent new ones from forming, according to Neutrogena.
Specific Products
Skin Polishing Acne Cleanser helps remove impurities, unclog pores and treat and prevent blemishes and blackheads; Acne Control Lotion helps kill acne bacteria and prevent breakouts; and Oil-Free SPF 15 Lotion helps protect skin from sun damage, while moisturizing and calming, according to Neutrogena. The cleanser and control lotion should be used twice daily, and the Oil-Free SPF 15 Lotion can be applied as needed.
Key Ingredients
Skin Polishing Acne Cleanser contains salicylic acid, which helps unclog pores and exfoliate dead skin cells. The ingredient also helps correct abnormal skin cell shedding. Benzoyl peroxide helps kill acne-causing bacteria, while also removing dead skin cells.
Considerations
Benzoyl peroxide can have side effects such as dryness, irritation and skin redness. These side effects can be controlled by reducing frequency of use. Benzoyl peroxide also can bleach fabric, so it's best to use old towels and pillowcases when using a product containing the ingredient.
Cost
Neutrogena Advanced Solutions Complete Acne Therapy System retails for $24.99 as of August 2010 and can be purchased at drugstores nationwide.
