Acne Treatment Archives * Style Chicks

Acne is the most common reason to see a dermatologist (1). Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads treat acne quickly without undue irritation. Neutralyze is the first acne treatment system to use Nitric Oxide. Nitric Oxide improves moderate-to-severe acne within DAYS. Read how Neutralyze uses Nitric Oxide, Salicylic, and Mandelic Acids to treat acne without excess irritation.

WHY USE AN ACNE FORMULATION

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads for moderate to severe acne

Many acne products are too harsh for sensitive skin. Skin conditions like eczema and rosacea limit acne treatment options. Acne treatments can make wrinkles and dry skin look worse.

WHAT MAKES NEUTRALYZE SPECIAL?

Neutralyze combines powerful ingredients for effective acne treatment. It also treats eczema, rosacea, and other skin conditions. It works in days, even on severe acne. There is little to no irritation.

NEUTRALYZE & NITRIC OXIDE

Neutralyze is the first acne treatment system to use Nitric Oxide. It is a new acne treatment ingredient. Nitric oxide is an anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial that reduces sebum. (2) Nitric Oxide has only been available for acne by prescription.

Neutralyze combines Nitric Oxide with two effective acne treatment ingredients. It treats moderate-to-severe acne without irritation.
Neutralyze fades acne scars, even dark cystic acne marks.
Neutralyze is gentle yet effective. Skin conditions like rosacea complicate acne treatment. Neutralyze also treats rosacea, eczema, psoriasis, dermatitis, and keratosis pilaris (“Chicken Bump” skin).

INGREDIENT PROFILE

Neutralyze stops acne formation by combining a bHA (beta hydroxy acid) and aHA (alpha Hydroxy Acid) to completely clear pores. BHAs work from the bottom of a pimple up, AHAs work from the top layer of the skin down. This approach has been clinically proven to be highly successful in acne treatment. (3)

Salicylic Acid is a natural bHA from White Willow Bark. It treats acne and promotes collagen.

SALICYLIC ACID

Salicylic Acid is a bHA (beta hydroxy acid). Salicylic acid purges clogged pores without excess drying. It clears from the bottom of the pore up. Salicylic Acid also helps build collagen to heal acne scars. Collagen production is a nice perk of an acne treatment.

Salicylic acid works better when paired with another peeling agent. A combination of salicylic and mandelic acids was shown to be especially effective on moderate acne. (4).

Neutralyze uses a 2% Salicylic Acid concentration.

Mandelic Acid is a natural skin care ingredient extracted from bitter almonds.

MANDELIC ACID

Mandelic Acid is an aHA (alpha hydroxy acid). It gently removes bacteria-trapping dead skin. Dead skin enables acne formation. Dead skin also dulls the complexion and makes fine lines look worse.

Mandelic acid gently treats both acne and signs of skin aging. (5) It is anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-inflammatory. (6)

Neutralyze uses a 1% synthesized Mandelic Acid concentration.

NITRIC OXIDE

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads include NITROGEN BOOST SKINCARE TECHNOLOGY. Studies show Nitric Oxide improves moderate-to-severe acne within days.

Nitric oxide is found naturally in our bodies. It is an antimicrobial. It reduces Propionibacterium acnes, a key bacteria of acne formation (7). The body doesn’t build a Nitric Oxide resistance. It remains effective for long-term acne treatment. (8)

Studies show Nitric Oxide is gentler than Retinol for treating acne. (9) Nitric Oxide works from the bottom of a pimple upwards. This treats even deep cystic acne without excess surface irritation.

Natural ingredients provide effective treatment for acne, KP, Rosacea, and Eczema

PRODUCT DESIGN & FEATURES

The sealed container holds 100 treatment pads. These pads contain the Neutralyze acne-fighting solution. The treatment pad has a dual exfoliating textured surface. The pads are tear resistant. There are no loose fibers.

A useful feature is the easy-to-grab “pickup-notch” to grab only one pad at a time. No wasted or contaminated pads.

MY EXPERIENCE

I use one pad a day, two if I am experiencing breakouts

I use one pad a day, two during breakouts

Use one pad per time, one to three times a day. I started with once a day and worked up to two as needed for breakouts.

Since pads are dual-sided, I use one side of the pad on my whole face.

Each container holds 100 pads. Use up to three a day.

Then I use the other side and pay special attention to problem areas. These areas include the blackheads on my nose, and whiteheads on my cheek, and some cystic acne scar marks.

On the first day, acne seemed less swollen and angry.

FEEL: My skin does not feel dry or irritated even with daily use. It does not sting or burn. The scent is nominal and dries down. I apply my standard moisturizers and products after a few minutes.
Textured surface for exfoliation without scrubbing

USE: The pad doesn’t tear apart during use like some treatment pads. One pad is enough to treat my face.

The texture of the pad can provide additional exfoliation, but I didn’t find it necessary to scrub.

RESULTS

We found Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads to be powerful yet gentle in acne treatment.

I also like the light mandelic acid peel effect on the rest of my face. I am not irritated or peeling but my skin remains smooth and nicely exfoliated. After about a week of daily Neutralyze use, my skin had a nice glow to it. A nice acne treatment benefit!

Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads contain natural yet effective ingredients safe for even sensitive skin types

I’ve used Salicylic Acid on blackheads before. But some stubborn blackheads around my nose weren’t budging. The Neutralyze combination of three ingredients seems to work for me. The blackheads are loosening up, reducing and exfoliating away. I don’t have any active cystic acne pimples, and my older acne scars seem clearer.

I’m also impressed by how Neutralyze clears up the KP (Chicken Bumps) on my upper arms. The skin is clear and soft. This is a very nice bonus, and for a KP treatment, you can’t beat the price of Neutralyze.

One pad a day keeps pores clear and provides a mild daily exfoliation for brighter skin

ABOUT THIS POST

Like you, the team here at Style Chicks needs time to evaluate and form an opinion of the products we talk about. With the Neutralyze Exfoliating Pads, we received compensation for our time and effort to form an opinion of this product. We produced this blog post because we think the product is great and want to share it with you!

Our Summer beauty focus includes the removal of unwanted hair and improved skin appearance, especially in areas that typically don’t show as much in cooler months. Now that warm weather is quickly approaching, tackle hair removal, acne, and skin rejuvenation at home in 6 – 12 weeks with the versatile, 3 in 1 DEESS iLight2 3-in-1 device, an at-home IPL with hair removal, acne, and skin rejuvenation attachments.

The DEESS iLight2 3-in-1 IPL Device removes unwanted hair, treats acne, and can be used for skin rejuvenation and collagen production

ABOUT IPL TREATMENTS

IPL treatments are popular in-office or in-spa for the treatment of unwanted facial or body hair, acne, and skin rejuvenation. Each treatment uses a different frequency of light or pulse to achieve its’ specific result. For example, to remove unwanted hair, the IPL uses the energy of short intense pulse light that is absorbed by the pigment within the hair follicle root. After repeated treatments, hair doesn’t grow back.

WHY CONSIDER A HOME IPL DEVICE FOR HAIR REMOVAL

The downside of this effective treatment is in-office sessions get quite costly pretty fast, with larger body parts such as arms or legs costing an average of $3600 to complete over the course of about eight sessions. IPL laser treatments for hair removal at the doctor’s office or the spa are effective but expensive and time-consuming.

Professional Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) technology can be done safely at home with devices designed for at-home use. While it takes a bit longer than the powerful, large devices in a spa, it is effective and less painful than in-office hair removal or skin treatments. The specific nanometer (nm) of light on the spectrum can treat different problems, such as blue and green light is helpful for acne, red and amber for skin rejuvenation. The DEESS IPL Spectrum of light is 510 -1200nm, which is safe for at-home use, as long as you wear the included UV 400 protective goggles during treatment.

Easy to use handheld IPL device with three treatment attachments, no extra cartridges to buy ever.

In-office hair removal typically spans over a few sessions, you can achieve 95% hair removal in 10-12 weeks at home.

The three treatments in this kit are:

Hair removal light 510-1200 nm: Heat energy effect on root hair follicle that full of pigment
Skin Rejuvenation light 560-1200 nm: increase partial circulation, improve collagen regeneration and reduces wrinkles. Collagen regeneration is vital to maintaining skin structure and preventing sagging and wrinkles, as well as maintaining the skin’s ability to overcome the appearance of photo-damage.
Acne Clear light 400-700 nm: Anti-inflammation, speed up the recovery of acne and reduce the bacteria present on the skin.

DEESS iLight2 comes with three attachment heads for hair removal, skin rejuvenation, and acne clearing

FEATURES

This Multi-function device comes with 3 attachment heads.
There are no hidden costs with the DEESS iLight 2, as there are no cartridges refills and no gels to apply. The attachments will last for a full three years of treatment. (Hair Removal: 350,000 flashes, Skin Rejuvenation and Acne treatment attachments are each 95,000 flashes).
There are two modes: Manual operation (flash one by one) & Automatic operation (continuous flash every 2 seconds). This makes each treatment session go very quickly, but also allows for custom spot treatments as needed.
LARGE PANEL FOR FASTER TREATMENT SESSIONS: This device has an especially large window for an at-home IPL device. A bigger window means more area covered with each light flash, making quick work out of hair removal, especially on larger areas like arms and legs. For a full treatment of full arms or legs, it takes about eight minutes.
Pain-free. No cooling gel needed.
24-month warranty.

WHY WE LIKE THE DEESS ILIGHT2

The device fits easily in the hand, and the controls are very easy to use. The instruction manual covers any questions you may have about use. It is lightweight but not flimsy. The three interchangeable attachments are easy to switch out, and the treatment light window is fairly large, making for faster treatment sessions. It is easy to switch the attachments for doing different types of IPL treatments in one day, such as hair removal on the legs and an acne or skin rejuvenation treatment for the face.

A unique feature of the DEESS is most home devices are not able to handle both delicate facial hair removal and more the difficult underarm and leg hair removal, this device does both very effectively in a cost-effective, pain-free way that is quick and easy. Achieve spa-level professional results at home, it takes no special talent or strength to work this device.
