Kiehl’s has introduced a new cleansing paste clinically proven to treat acne.
The paste multitasks as a cleanser, spot treatment and face mask in one. Key ingredients charcoal and salicylic acid effectively dries out pimples, without drying out skin, to help achieve clearer skin. For boosted efficacy, the triple-use product can also be applied as an overnight spot treatment or 10-minute face mask.
The acne paste contains 2% salicylic acid, a beta-hydroxy acid that helps to refine skin texture and reduce acne; kaolin clay & charcoal to cleanse skin while absorbing excess oil; and cica centella and glycerin to maintain skin’s moisture barrier to reduce dryness. According to the brand, 100% of users in a study saw clearer skin in four weeks. It is also effective in addressing four types of acne (papules, pustules, whiteheads and blackheads) in three days.
Kiehl’s Truly Targeted Acne-Cleaning Solution is an invisible liquid patch that helps to rapidly clear pimples and whiteheads while preventing new blemishes from forming and helping protect against external aggressors. The formula acts as a spot treatment that creates a breathable seal and successfully reduces pimple color in two hours; pimple size in 24 hours; and appearance of post-blemish marks in four weeks.
Key ingredients include 2% salicylic acid; 4% niacinamide to help fade post-mark discoloration; and 0.2% licorice root to soothe and calm look of redness and irritation.The Truly Targeted Acne-Clearing Solution can be used as a last step in the skin routine, as the invisible formula layers seamlessly under SPF and makeup.
Gently Effective Acne-Treating Cleansing Paste and Truly Targeted-Acne Clearing Solution retail for $29-$30 online at kiehls.com and Ulta.
