WATCH OUR VIDEO TUTORIAL ON APPLYING LOTION X!
Use every other day for the best results. Apply 1-2 pumps of Lotion X to a thin cotton or gauze pad and place on areas with clogged pores, particularly the nose and T-Zone. Leave on for 15 - 20 minutes. During that time frame, soak a washcloth with warm water and lay it on top of the cotton until it cools. Repeat this step 2-3 times. Then remove the cotton/gauze pad and gently roll a cotton swab over where you applied Lotion X. Sebum should come off easily, do not force the extraction. Finish with a toner to rebalance the skin's pH. Stubborn blackheads may require repeat uses to see results.
Note: Be careful when using in conjunction with AHAs as this can cause mild peeling. Remember that good skin care is a habit and visible results take time.
Caution: Avoid getting into the eyes. Discontinue use if redness or irritation occurs.

Our Philosophy
I go about [the formulas] in a very different way than a regular chemist. I always look for what conditions I’d like to correct. I look at what skin types and problems that I want to work with, and then I try to find the best possible ingredients that will work for the skin.
