Your Step-by-Step Routine
Daily cleansing + 2–3x weekly clay stick + spot treatment as needed
Clay Stick (2–3x/week)
Guide →On slightly damp skin, glide the stick onto the T-zone and pore-prone areas. Leave on 5–10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with water.
Cleanser
Guide →Cleanse after rinsing the clay stick to fully remove residue. On non-clay-stick days, use as your daily cleanser.
Spot Treatment
Guide →Do not shake. Finish the rest of the routine first, then dip a clean cotton swab into the white powder layer and dab directly onto active pimples. Leave it on after it dries as the final step.

Day 1–3
Cleaner feel after washing. Pores feel tighter after clay stick. Active pimples drying faster.
Day 4–7
Blackheads loosening. Oil production reduced. Active pimples shrinking.
Day 7–14
Noticeably clearer complexion. Pores look refined. Fewer new breakouts.
When to Worry
Widespread redness, severe tightness that doesn't resolve with moisturizer, or new rash patterns.
💧Skin Feels Too Dry
Add the Panthenol Water Gel between cleansing and spot treatment. Reduce clay stick to once per week.
😣Irritation or Redness
Skip the clay stick for a week. Use cleanser + drying lotion only.
🔴More Breakouts
Some blemishes may look temporarily bigger or redder as the clay stick pulls out deep clogs and the drying lotion brings them to a head faster. If this settles within 2 weeks, continue. If irritation spreads, simplify your routine.
🤷No Improvement
After 2 weeks, consider upgrading to the Salicylic Acid Acne-Clear Trio which adds chemical exfoliation with a BHA toner.
Mistake
Using the clay stick every day
Why
Over-cleansing with clay can strip the skin and trigger more oil production.
Do Instead
Use the clay stick 2–3 times per week. Use the cleanser daily.
Mistake
Applying drying lotion before cleansing
Why
Dirt and oil block the active ingredients from penetrating.
Do Instead
Always cleanse first, then apply spot treatment to clean skin.
#1My skin is getting too dry where I apply the spot treatment.
Introduce a lightweight moisturizer like the Panthenol Water Gel before applying the Spot Treatment, or skip the spot treatment for a night.
