Sensitive skin may better tolerate a wash-off treatment format, and use of a gentle cleanser and a protective moisturiser can also help support skin's tolerance to treatment. Here is our 'Double Cleanse' treatment routine edit:
Step 1
Cleanse
When you have active breakouts or are using spot treatment actives, we know your skin barrier's resilience and sensitivity can be put through its paces. Use this gentle, soothing cleanser morning and evening to cleanse your skin so it is prepped and ready to have your choice of treatment active applied. Nothing harsh or stripping, it respects your skin barrier.
Step 2
Treat
Acnecide Face Wash Gel is an effective wash-off medicinal treatment for mild spots/acne and contains the active ingredient benzoyl peroxide. It helps to kill up to 95% of spot-causing bacteria in 1 week - Reduce bacteria, reduce spots. It also has oil reducing and pore-unblocking effects.

Step 3
Moisturise
Complete the routine with a balancing moisturiser to hydrate, soothe and protect your skin barrier. For day time it is recommended to use UV protection (and to avoid direct sunlight) while using Acnecide treatments as your skin can become more photosensitive. UV exposure during a breakout is also related to the formation of post-breakout dark marks and uneven skin tone. Purifide moisturisers are non-comedogenic: they don't cause blocked pores.
