Neutralyze Acne Moisturizer 3.4 fl oz — lightweight oil-free lotion with time-release 2% salicylic & 1% mandelic

Neutralyze Acne Moisturizer is a lightweight, oil-free daily lotion that delivers 2% salicylic acid and 1% mandelic acid through a time-release system to gently treat acne-prone skin while hydrating without clogging pores.

This moisturizer was created for people who experience recurring breakouts, sensitivity after treatments, or who need a gentle daily acid that layers well under makeup and sunscreen. Instead of a single burst of exfoliant, the formula uses an acrylates polymer carrier to slowly release both acids over hours, aiming to maintain steady activity with less irritation. It’s fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, and designed to fit into a multi-step clinical routine.

How does the time-release acid system work and why does it matter?

The time-release delivery uses an acrylates polymer matrix to disperse salicylic and mandelic acids gradually rather than all at once. That smoother release helps maintain exfoliating action throughout the day while reducing sudden stinging or visible peeling for many users.

• 2% salicylic acid for pore exfoliation and oil penetration.
• 1% mandelic acid for gentle surface renewal and even skin tone.
• Acrylates polymer carrier prolongs activity and minimizes peak irritation.
• Reduces the sensation of burning or flaking compared with immediate-release acids.

Will this moisturizer clog my pores or feel greasy?

No—Neutralyze Acne Moisturizer is formulated to be oil-free and non-comedogenic. The texture is lightweight and absorbs quickly so it layers easily under sunscreen, makeup, or active treatments like retinoids.

• Oil-free lotion that leaves no greasy residue.
• Fast-absorbing, matte-finish texture suitable for combination to oily skin.
• Designed to layer with SPF and cosmetic products without pilling.
• pH-balanced to support acid activity while minimizing barrier disruption.

Can I use this if I have sensitive, hormonal, or adult acne?

The formula was developed with adult, hormonal, and post-procedure skin in mind. The dual-acid approach combined with time-release aims to provide consistent exfoliation with fewer irritation peaks, making it suitable for those transitioning off stronger actives or recovering from treatments.

• Recommended for ages and skin states prone to hormonal breakouts.
• Works as part of a routine after cleansing and exfoliating pads in the Neutralyze system.
• Appropriate for skin recovering from procedures or retinoid use when introduced gradually.
• Fragrance-free and formulated without harsh additives that commonly irritate sensitive skin.

How should I add this moisturizer into my daily skincare routine?

Use Neutralyze Acne Moisturizer as Step 3 after cleansing and any lightweight serums or treatment pads. Apply a pea-sized amount to freshly cleansed skin in the morning and/or evening, then follow with SPF in the morning.

• Step 1: Cleanse with a gentle face wash.
• Step 2: Apply exfoliating pads or targeted serums if used.
• Step 3: Smooth moisturizer over face and neck; allow to absorb before makeup.
• Always pair daytime use with broad-spectrum sunscreen.

Who this is for: Neutralyze Acne Moisturizer is aimed at adults who want a clinical-strength, daily hydrating product that treats and prevents breakouts without heavy oils or strong immediate irritation. It’s particularly suitable for those who prefer fragrance-free, non-comedogenic skincare or who follow a layered regimen with cleansers, pads, and retinoids. If you’re moving from harsher exfoliants or managing post-procedure sensitivity but still need consistent acid exposure, this product is formulated to offer a gentler, sustained approach.
