Clinical Details
Reclaim a refined, matte complexion with the NeoStrata Oily Skin Solution, a high-potency hydroalcoholic toner designed for blemish-prone and congested skin. Formulated with a concentrated 8% Glycolic Acid, this solution acts as a powerful chemical exfoliant that dissolves the cellular bonds trapping sebum and debris within the pores. By normalising the skin’s natural exfoliation process, it effectively targets clogged pores and reduces surface lipids, a process supported by clinical evidence regarding the efficacy of AHAs in managing oily skin environments. Beyond immediate oil management, this 'workhorse' AHA promotes a smoother texture and diminishes the visibility of fine lines, making it an essential step for those addressing both congestion and early signs of ageing. In clinical trials, 97% of users reported a significant reduction in oiliness and shine after four weeks. For a comprehensive clarifying routine, pair this solution with the NeoStrata Mandelic Clarifying Cleanser to deeply purify the skin while maintaining essential balance.
Active Ingredients
Full Ingredients List
Aqua/Water/Eau, Alcohol Denat., Glycolic Acid, Propylene Glycol, Ammonium Hydroxide, Polyquaternium-10, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Tetrasodium EDTA, Polysorbate 20.
Directions for Use
After cleansing, apply the solution to the face, chest, back, or other oily areas using a cotton ball or fingertips. For the first two weeks, apply once daily; if well-tolerated, increase frequency to twice daily. This product can be used throughout the day to refresh the skin and manage midday shine. Because Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) increase sun sensitivity, it is mandatory to follow application with a high-protection broad-spectrum sunscreen like Heliocare 360° Airgel SPF 50 to prevent UV-induced damage, as highlighted in expert recommendations for active skincare regimens.
Safety Information
Contains 8% Glycolic Acid. Not recommended for sensitive skin. A mild tingling sensation is normal upon application. Sunburn Alert: This product contains an Alpha Hydroxy Acid (AHA) that may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. Limit sun exposure and use protective clothing while using this product and for one week afterwards. Avoid contact with eyes and mucous membranes. For post-exfoliation skin support, consider incorporating Tocopheryl Acetate into your evening routine to aid the moisture barrier.
