How To Use

Application: After cleansing, saturate a cotton pad or cotton ball with NeoStrata Clarify Oily Skin Solution. Gently swipe over the face, chest, back, or other oily areas, avoiding the eye area. Alternatively, apply with clean fingertips to targeted areas.

Frequency: Begin with once daily application for the first two weeks to build tolerance. After two weeks, increase to twice daily (morning and evening) if skin tolerates well. Can be used throughout the day as needed to freshen and control shine.

Timing: Apply after cleansing and before serums or moisturisers. For morning use, always follow with broad-spectrum sunscreen. For evening use, apply as the first step in your treatment routine.

Layering: Allow solution to dry completely before applying subsequent skincare products. Follow with hydrating serums or moisturisers appropriate for oily skin. Always apply broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher during daytime use.

Expert Tips: For even application and optimal results, ensure your cotton pad is fully saturated before swiping over skin. Focus on oily zones such as the T-zone, forehead, nose, and chin. Start slowly to build tolerance—this is a high-strength AHA formula that requires gradual introduction for best results.

FAQ

Q: How quickly will I see results from NeoStrata Clarify Oily Skin Solution?
A: Clinical studies demonstrate visible improvements within four weeks of twice-daily use. Most users notice reduced oiliness and a matte finish within the first few applications. However, comprehensive results—including refined pore appearance, improved texture, and reduced fine lines—typically become evident after consistent use for 4-8 weeks as the Glycolic Acid promotes cell turnover and collagen synthesis.

Q: Can I use this product if I'm new to Glycolic Acid or AHAs?
A: NeoStrata Clarify Oily Skin Solution contains a high-strength 8% Glycolic Acid concentration designed for experienced AHA users or those with resilient, oily skin. If you're new to Glycolic Acid, consider starting with a lower-strength AHA product from the NeoStrata Resurface collection to build tolerance before graduating to this formula. Always introduce gradually—once daily for two weeks—before increasing frequency.

Q: Should I use this product in the morning, evening, or both?
A: For optimal results, use twice daily (morning and evening) after the initial two-week tolerance-building period. When using in the morning, always follow with broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher, as Glycolic Acid increases sun sensitivity. Evening application allows the AHA to work overnight without immediate sun exposure concerns. You may also use throughout the day as needed to refresh and control shine.

Q: Is it normal to experience tingling or mild irritation when first using this toner?
A: Mild tingling upon initial application is normal and indicates the Glycolic Acid is actively working. This sensation typically subsides as your skin builds tolerance. However, if you experience persistent burning, excessive redness, peeling, or discomfort, reduce frequency of use or discontinue temporarily. Always start with once-daily application for the first two weeks to assess tolerance. If irritation continues, this high-strength formula may not be suitable for your skin type.

Q: Can I use NeoStrata Clarify Oily Skin Solution with other active ingredients like Retinol or Vitamin C?
A: Whilst NeoStrata Clarify Oily Skin Solution can be incorporated into a comprehensive skincare routine, exercise caution when combining with other potent actives. Avoid using with Retinol in the same application to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. If using both, alternate evenings or use Glycolic Acid in the morning and Retinol at night. Vitamin C serums can typically be used alongside this toner—apply the Vitamin C serum after the toner has completely dried. Our experts recommend consulting with our skincare specialists for personalised layering guidance based on your specific routine.

Q: Will this product help with post-blemish marks and hyperpigmentation?
A: Yes. Glycolic Acid is clinically proven to help fade discolouration and even skin tone by promoting cell turnover and removing pigmented dead skin cells from the surface. The 8% concentration in this formula effectively targets post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (dark marks left after blemishes heal) and general skin discolouration. Clinical studies show 87% of users experienced more even skin tone after four weeks. However, consistent daily sun protection is essential when addressing pigmentation, as UV exposure can worsen discolouration and counteract the brightening benefits.
