Neutrogena - Clear & Defend+ Liquid Exfoliant - 125 ml

You should use the exfoliant 1 to 3 times per week. It is not intended for daily use. Always start with a lower frequency and increase as tolerated by your skin.

The formula is fragrance-free, which is beneficial for sensitive skin. However, it contains AHAs, so it's recommended to perform a patch test first. If you experience significant irritation, reduce frequency or discontinue use.

The 7% AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acids) helps to chemically exfoliate the skin by dissolving the bonds between dead skin cells, promoting renewal and revealing smoother, brighter skin. Panthenol (a form of Vitamin B5) helps to soothe and hydrate the skin.

The product is designed to improve skin texture in as little as 1 week with consistent use as directed.

It's generally advised to be cautious when combining multiple active ingredients. Avoid using other strong exfoliants or retinoids on the same night as this product, especially when first starting. Listen to your skin and introduce products gradually.

A liquid exfoliant uses chemical acids (like AHAs) to dissolve the 'glue' that holds dead skin cells together, offering a smoother and deeper exfoliation. A physical scrub uses abrasive particles to manually slough off dead skin cells, which can sometimes be too harsh for delicate skin.

Store the product in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the cap is securely closed after each use to maintain product integrity.

Reduce frequency of use to once a week and ensure adequate moisturization after application. If irritation persists, discontinue use.

Ensure you are using the product on clean skin and consistently 1-3 times per week. Allow a full week to observe texture improvements as stated.

Ensure the cap is fully twisted open. Check if the inner tube is properly seated in the solution.

This can be a normal sensation. Ensure you are not applying too much product. Allow it to fully absorb before applying moisturizer.
