Visible blotches, blemishes, day to day trouble, lots of makeup usage and excess oil production. You do what you have to do and RECOVERY CLEANSER will be there to help stabilize the action.
This is a mild, clinically proven formula for over six years. Stronger cleansing yet as mild as SENSITIVE CLEANSER. If you have problem skin, not merely sensitive and erratic, this is your choice.
Use one day and then alternate the next with REVIVE for best outcome.
We rely on amphoterics and hydrosols to gain effective cleansing with soothing contact in RECOVERY CLEANSER.

Skincare Concerns
Sensitivity to cleansers can occur easily with highly charged acid laced formulas that foam and strip the skin of its own beneficial guardians.

Introduction
This cleanser will visibly change for the better chronically inflamed breakout prone skin.
Skin that is marked by inflammatory breakouts often suffers further from too many of the wrong products. Benzoyl peroxide, salicylic acid cleansers, alpha-hydroxy acid peels, vitamin A saturation and moisturizers with sodium hyaluronate, add in a prescription antibiotic and a lot of makeup to conceal the mess and you have what passes for skincare today.
This is not a solution. If it works today, it won’t work for long. In fact, it is how to preserve inflammatory breakouts not be rid of them. See discussions of these factors in our REFERENCE TOPICS.
If you seriously want to fix what is visibly wrong, start with RECOVERY CLEANSER. Your best outcome will be to alternate this with REVIVE during the week. Alternate days.
You must subtract everything else. Slowly and surely (or as quickly as possible – better) you must subtract what is going onto your skin or you will never clear up.
HOW TO USE:
- Shake container well.
- Wet hands and apply cleanser like a lotion. Smooth in.
- Your skin will feel sticky. That’s good.
- Wet hands and apply cleanser again, a smaller amount. This helps to lift ‘the unwanted’ from your skin.
- Add warm water to work up a creamy all over lotion feel.
- Add more warm water to remove and rinse well.
- Done. No squeaky, dry, taut feel; just soft, mild, natural response.
For your skin if these conditions exist:
Inflammatory acne, unstable
Not for your skin if these conditions exist:
Dermatitis

As needed but prefer alternating with REVIVE and FACE & BODY BAR.
Actives while using RECOVERY CLEANSER:
ANY, but wait until skin has stabilized and cleared. Your skin is weak and easily addicted and it will take time to look and feel resilient.

Leave-ons acceptable:
REVIVE
Any of our Moisturizing Mists (CALMING MIST, for example)
