SCIENCE
Dual Exfoliation with a Potent 2% Salicylic and 5% Glycolic Acid Blend
Exfoliates the surface of your skin as well as your pores, removing dead skin cells, to create a healthy pore lining and improve your skin’s texture and clarity. Addresses breakouts and the visible signs of aging simultaneously.
Concentration and pH levels are two critical factors in a formula’s effectiveness and ability to function as promised.
- Salicylic Acid must be formulated at a concentration of at least 0.5% (maximum allowed at 2%).
- Glycolic Acid must be formulated at a concentration greater than 4%.
- Salicylic and Glycolic Acids must be in a base with an acid pH of 3 to 4.
This real solution functions as a powerful exfoliant because it is properly formulated with a maximum concentration of 2% Salicylic Acid and a 5% concentration of Glycolic Acid in a base with an acid pH of 3 to 4.
Synergistic Combination of Potent Antioxidants
Your skin performs best when it’s fed a variety of potent antioxidants. This real solution contains multiple potent antioxidants to provide powerful skin nutrition, critical antioxidant protection, and anti-inflammatory, anti-irritant, and anti-bacterial benefits.
Glycerin, Sodium PCA, Vitamin B5
Restores essential hydration, promotes cellular renewal, and repairs and strengthens your skin’s barrier.

CARE INSTRUCTIONS
Use daily AM and PM. Dispense 1 ¾ pumps of solution onto wet hands and rub together until you achieve the perfect lather. Massage solution into a dry face and neck for 30 – 60 seconds. Dampen your fingertips as needed to create additional lather. Rinse your face thoroughly with warm water and gently pat dry. Continue to REFINE.
TIPS
KIMBERLY & ROBERT SUGGEST:
TIP NO. 1
This cleansing solution is formulated with 2% Salicylic Acid + 5% Glycolic Acid to exfoliate both the surface of your skin and your pores. The longer these hydroxy acids are in contact with your skin (before being rinsed off), the more time they have to do their job. So if you’re desiring a deeper pore cleanse because you have an area of congestion or a breakout, leave the solution on while you brush your teeth.
TIP NO. 2
This solution is made with a gentle, coconut derived cleansing agent in lieu of harsh, high foaming cleansing agents such as SLS (sodium laurel sulfate). It does not foam as much as its synthetic counterpart (which may take getting used to if you’re accustomed to a sudsy cleanser) and can lather differently (more or less) day to day based on the air temperature and pH of your skin: distinct characteristics of a cleaner formulation.
Be sure to start with a dry face and neck – and hands that are not too wet, because too much water will dilute the solution making it feel thin and runny. (You can always dampen your fingertips to add water while massaging the solution into your face.)
NOTE: It may take you a few rituals to figure out just the right amount of water to use (and how long to rub your hands together) to create the consistency and lather that’s ideal for you.
TIP NO. 3
It’s important to not rush The Real: Cleanse (spend at least 30-60 seconds massaging the solution into your skin) because your skin demands a clean slate: clean skin is the foundation for healthy skin. And applying your highly concentrated treatment solutions in step No. 3 to skin that is not thoroughly clean will not serve you well, as they will stick to dirt and dead skin instead of being absorbed (causing possible congestion, unnecessary breakouts, and less than stellar results).
TIP NO. 4
Don’t rinse with water that is too hot or too cold; both are way to harsh for your skin.
ROBERT SUGGESTS:
TIP NO. 5
This is the ideal cleansing solution to use just before shaving since Salicylic and Glycolic Acids help lift beard hairs making for a close, clean shave. It’s also ideal for helping prevent ingrown hairs, minimizing razor bumps, as well as healing existing razor bumps.
