Product Information
Full details
The Lierac Protocole Anti-Pimple Concentrate is designed for individuals seeking an effective at-home solution to prevent and treat skin imperfections. Its key benefit is deep exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and impurities, leading to clearer, smoother, and more mattified skin. A potential caveat for sensitive skin types is the inclusion of salicylic acid, which may require careful introduction. This concentrate aims to reduce blemishes, blackheads, and excess oil by deeply cleansing and unclogging pores.

FAQs
How often should I use the Lierac Protocole Anti-Pimple Concentrate?
It is typically recommended to use the concentrate once daily, preferably in the evening, after cleansing your skin. However, listen to your skin and adjust frequency if you experience dryness or irritation.
Can I use this product if I have dry skin?
While it targets blemishes, the salicylic acid can be drying. If you have dry skin, use it cautiously, perhaps only on blemish-prone areas, and ensure you follow with a rich moisturizer.
What does 'minimum of 98% ingredients of natural origin' mean?
This means that at least 98% of the product's ingredients are derived from natural sources, such as plants or minerals, processed to maintain their natural state.
Is this product suitable for use around the eyes?
No, it is advised to avoid the delicate eye contour area when applying this product.
How does this product help with blackheads?
Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, allowing it to penetrate into pores to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells, which are the primary causes of blackheads.
What is the difference between a scrub and this concentrate?
A physical scrub typically uses abrasive particles to remove dead skin cells. This concentrate uses chemical exfoliation (salicylic acid) to dissolve the bonds between dead skin cells and impurities within pores, offering a deeper clean.
Do I need to rinse my face after applying?
No, this is a leave-on treatment. After applying with a cotton pad, allow it to absorb into the skin before applying any subsequent skincare products or moisturizer.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels tight or dry after application
Reduce the frequency of application or ensure you are moisturizing adequately after use. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
No noticeable improvement in blemishes
Ensure consistent daily application for at least a few weeks. Double-check that you are applying to clean skin and follow with appropriate moisturizer.
Redness or mild irritation occurs
Apply to damp skin instead of dry, or dilute with a bit of water on the cotton pad. Reduce frequency to every other day and monitor skin's reaction.
Product seems less effective over time
Ensure you are not using other harsh exfoliants simultaneously. Consider a short break and then reintroduce the product. Always apply to thoroughly cleansed skin.
