Product introduction
Acnestar Face Wash is a daily-use gel cleanser marketed for people with oily or combination skin who deal with recurring acne and pimples. It combines mild exfoliating acids with soothing botanical extracts so the face can be cleansed without the harsh, stripped-out feeling that many acne washes leave behind. Being an over-the-counter cosmetic cleanser rather than a medicine, it is meant for regular twice-daily use as part of a skincare routine rather than as a treatment for active infection. It is applied externally to the face and neck only.
Storage: Keep the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. Do not freeze. Keep the cap tightly closed after use and out of reach of children.
