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