You’ve just received your very first shipment of AcneRecovery and you’re anxious to get started. You love the idea of being able to adjust your medication, but maybe it all seems slightly intimidating. What now – how should you get started?

Here’s how...step by step!


PRIME THE DISPENSER

As the first step, let’s prime both Lotion Packs (your Repair Lotion and Treatment Lotion) so that they’re immediately ready to use when you’re ready. That simply means that you will need to pump the dispenser for a little bit to suck the lotion up through the tube and up to the tip for the first time.

Your dispenser pump draws from the two halves of the Lotion Pack. It’s possible to prime both sides at the same time (as the instructions on the dispenser neck suggest), but you might find it easier to do it one side at a time.

Set the dial at “10” and press the pump repeatedly. It will draw up from Formula Pod A until you see the lotion appear at the nozzle. Be patient – your lotion is luxurious and a little thick, so it may take as many as 50 strokes.

Then, set the dial at “0” and repeat the process, priming from Formula Pod B.
(In the unlikely event that you seem unable to prime one, you can place the unit in a sink of hot water for a few minutes and try again. The warmth will make the lotion easier to pump.)



CHOOSE AN INITIAL SETTING

Identify which of the following descriptions best describes your skin, then use the recommended setting:

SKIN TYPE A:

Generally Sensitive Skin

  Let’s start with the gentlest settings of the lotions, just to minimize any skin reaction in the initial stage. Set the dial on the Treatment Lotion and on the Repair Lotion to “0”.
Somewhat Sensitive To Benzoyl Peroxide Products  
Somewhat Sensitive To Salicylic Acid Products  
Don’t Know – Never Tried An Acne Treatment  

SKIN TYPE B:
Skin Is Not Particularly Sensitive   Begin with an initial setting of “3”. You’ll likely do fine, though there’s a possibility that your skin will have some initial redness or irritation.
Have Tried ‘Regular’ Acne Products Without Difficulty  
   

SKIN TYPE C:

Have Used ‘Extra-Strength’ Acne Products Without Difficulty

  Begin with an initial setting of “5”. This will deliver 4.5% benzoyl peroxide in the Treatment Lotion and 1.25% salicylic acid in the Repair Lotion. You’ll likely do fine, though there’s a possibility that your skin will have some initial redness or irritation.
   



MORNING ROUTINE

The morning routine using AcneRecovery is simple – just two steps.

Cleanse:
Begin by wetting your face with warm water. Then squeeze a ‘nickel-size’ amount of Face Wash onto your hand. Gently massage it over your face, taking about one minute to complete the process. (Be gentle - don’t SCRUB!) Rinse and pat dry. More...

Apply Lotion:
Confirm that your Repair Lotion dispenser’s dial is set to your chosen setting. Dispense lotion onto your fingertips and spread a thin layer over your face. Allow it to dry for a minute or two before applying any makeup.



NIGHT ROUTINE

Before bedtime, repeat the same routine as the morning, but use the Treatment Lotion at night rather than the Repair Lotion.



ADJUSTING SETTINGS

The great thing about AcneRecovery is that you’re now able to adjust your medication over time, based on how your face responds to the settings you’ve chosen.

Clients Say...

“You start to see a dramatic change very quickly. People were noticing how much better my face looked, especially my family who saw me daily. My face cleared up very nicely and I was barely breaking out.

If you want to look better and feel better then you should give it a shot. I have tried many things but this seemed to work best. It's a really easy process and the changes are amazing. ”

– Taylor Aglio, 17


“When my acne was at its worst, my self confidence was practically nil. I always felt that people were looking at my blemishes and not at the real me.

AcneRecovery has allowed me to be able to adjust my treatment according to my skin reaction. When my skin would become itchy and red I toned down the treatment until it no longer itched. My skin looks younger and has not dried out at all like other products have done in the past. My skin is softer and healthier looking than it ever has been.”

– Melissa Wyss, 37


“I have tried every product out there and I have read and researched every bit of information about acne. I did read about using both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. When I found out these products had both acne medications, I decided to try it out.....which I'm very glad I did. I told my sister to try it out because my skin cleared up in a matter of days.....and she did, and is also having great results.”

– Michelle Strange, 31


“My dermatologist was unable to diagnose or treat my unusual acne. I've used Retin A but it made my skin so red and caused me to constantly peel. I was treated for rosacea, and for allergic reactions etc, but none of this worked. Then when I started using the AcneRecovery System, those lesions stopped, dead. If I stop or forget to use it in a few days, one pops out. This product works great.”

– Melanie Hall, 49


“It was very frustrating. I always was afraid people would make fun of me because of my acne. Now my face is much smoother than before and my self-confidence is much better.”

– Tyler Ham, 14
