NeoStrata NeoCeuticals Clear Skin Solution and Spot Treatment Gel are the latest technology for effective acne / oily skin therapy, combining the proven efficacy of salicylic acid with the natural benefits of Alpha Hydroxyacids. These 2% salicylic acid acne products, which clear acne blemishes and allow skin to heal, are formulated with a unique combination of AHAs called NeoHydroxy™ Complex, which improves the overall appearance of the skin. In combination, the salicylic acid, NeoHydroxy™ Complex and alcohol based vehicle are an effective therapy for acne prone skin.

The use of NeoCeuticals Clear Skin Solution, in conjunction with proper facial cleansing twice daily using the NeoStrata Sensitive Skin Facial Cleanser, has been shown to reduce the numbers of papules and pustules (pimples and blemishes) in as early as 2 weeks' time. There was a 53% reduction in the number of papules, compared to a 37% reduction with 10% benzoyl peroxide.

With use of the NeoCeuticals Clear Skin Solution, patients have experienced clinically evident reduction of acne lesions beginning as early as 2 weeks. Continued reductions were observed between 4 and 12 weeks. In addition, adverse sensations were limited to transient burning, itching and dryness. The NeoCeuticals Clear Skin Solution is a gentle, rapid and effective therapy for patients with mild to moderate acne.

The NeoCeuticals Clear Skin Solution and Spot Treatment Gel contain salicylic acid and the NeoHydroxy Complex in an alcohol based vehicle. Salicylic acid is a keratolytic, which is useful in helping skin conditions characterized by hyperkeratinization or excessive retention of skin cells. The NeoHydroxy Complex contains a mixture of alpha hydroxyacids including citric acid, tartaric acid and O-acetyl mandelic acid, an alpha hydroxyacid derivative. Citric and tartaric acids are both natural antioxidants that may help prevent some of the oxidative inflammatory processes occurring in acne lesions. In addition, AHAs help normalize the cell turnover process by loosening corneocyte cohesion on the skin surface as well as in the pores. This may help prevent the formation of clogged pores due to abnormal exfoliation within the pore.
