FAQs
How often should I use the Blemish Control Bar?
Start by using it once a day, preferably in the evening. If your skin tolerates it well, you may increase to twice daily. Listen to your skin and adjust frequency as needed.
Can I use this on my face and body?
Yes, this bar is suitable for use on both the face and body to target breakout-prone areas.
What is the role of the included sponge?
The sponge helps to create a rich lather and gently apply the cleansing bar to the skin. It's designed for optimal product application and should be allowed to dry completely between uses.
How long does the 90g bar typically last?
With daily use, a 90g bar typically lasts approximately 1-2 months, depending on usage frequency and how much lather is generated.
Is this product suitable for sensitive skin?
While formulated to be effective, Salicylic Acid can be drying. If you have sensitive skin, start with infrequent use (e.g., 2-3 times a week) and monitor your skin's reaction. Always follow with a moisturizer.
Why is SPF important when using this product?
Salicylic Acid can increase skin's sensitivity to the sun. Using a broad-spectrum SPF during the day is essential to protect your skin from sun damage and prevent post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels dry or tight after use
Reduce frequency of use to every other day or once a day. Ensure you are applying a suitable moisturizer after cleansing. Rinse thoroughly to remove all product residue.
Breakouts worsen initially
This can sometimes be part of the 'purging' process as ingredients work to bring underlying congestion to the surface. Continue use as directed, ensuring proper cleansing and moisturizing. If irritation persists for more than 2-3 weeks, discontinue use.
Sponge develops an odor
Ensure the sponge is completely dry between uses by storing it outside its container in a well-ventilated area. Wash the sponge regularly with mild soap and water, and allow it to dry thoroughly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To use the PCA Skin Blemish Control Bar, dampen the included sponge and work it into a rich lather. Gently cleanse the affected areas of your skin with the lather, allowing it to sit for approximately two minutes before rinsing thoroughly with warm water. Pat your skin dry gently. It is crucial to store the sponge outside of its container after use to allow it to dry completely and prevent bacterial growth. This product is generally compatible with most skincare routines but always patch test if you have sensitive skin. Consistent use is recommended for best results. Always apply a broad-spectrum SPF product during daylight hours when using this product.
