User questions & answers

Question:	What face wash should i use from the cerave line if i get acne but it’s not bad acne
Answer:	If you have painful inflamed acne the acne foaming cream with benzoyl peroxide would work wonders probably. If you only have clogged pores, black heads, white heads, but not really inflamed, the salicylic acid wash would work best probably.
Question:	What moisturizer from cerave should I use with this , for acne
Answer:	The CeraVe Moisturizing Cream( for face and body) I suggest is the best moisturizer for both day and night for all skin types. In the day time remember to use your sunblock. Neutrogena Hydro Boost SPF 50 or Cetaphil Oil Absorbing Moisturizer SPF 30 for oily acne skin. My recommendations are essentially for skin of colour because hyperpigmentation issues affect our skin more.
Question:	Does this bleach fabrics
Answer:	As long as you rinse it completely, it will not bleach fabrics. If you wash your face in the sink and don't get every bit off, it will bleach. I find it easier to use in the shower. However, this product only has 2 percent as opposed to the last product I used which was 10 percent and I haven't had any issues yet.
Question:	Clears blackheads on nose and pores
Answer:	Hi there! This cleanser can help to clear acne pimples and blackheads while also help give acne blemishes a chance to heal while maintaining the skin’s barrier. We hope you love it as much as we do!

User questions & answers

Question:	Can I tweak this product with other additives to make a spot treatment
Answer:	I personally haven’t mixed it with something else to create a spot treatment, I just bought the corresponding spot treatment. I have sparingly left it on as a sort of mask before, so I can’t give you a definite answer on whether it will work as a spot treatment. I don’t suggest mixing it because you might create something harmful for your face, but I can tell you the spot treatment of this line (Rapid Clear) works amazing in conjunction with the face wash.
Question:	Can I use rapid clear on my buttocks to get rid of pimples due to my workouts at the gym
Answer:	I don't see why not? BUT I'd strictly use it only in the shower and rinse well because it will bleach your clothing.
Question:	Can I use this for my body too? Looking for something for my back acne
Answer:	I use it on my back and chest once a day when I shower. After I'm all done I take a damp washcloth to make sure there is no residue to make sure I don't bleach my clothes.
Question:	Is this oil free
Answer:	Yes, it worked great on my son who has really bad acne. It dries the skin. Its the best we have found so far

User questions & answers

Question:	What is the expiry date
Answer:	The diameter of this canning rack is 11.6 inches, which can hold 8 bottles, depending on the size of the jam jar.
Question:	What is the percent of salicylic acid in it
Answer:	The handles have a silicone covering i believe it is. Very nice, and keep them from getting hot against your skin. The funnel is plastic and about in the medium range of thickness. I've had a lot thinner that was useless. I've had thick, very expensive ones. The the money, this is an awesome set. I did all of my canning this season with this set, and all still look like brand new. You won't be sorry for the price! Hope this helps.
Question:	I was to get 3, got one, charged for 3. I can't find a way to rectify, have clicked on everything? Anyone have a suggestion? thanks in advance
Answer:	The green vinyl coated part is what holds the jar, the black part is the actual handle.
Question:	Is this face wash really strong
Answer:	Since I bought this as a gift for someone, I don't know. Funnels in kits like this will usually fit both size jars. I also use mine when putting berries and sauces in freezer bags. It really cuts down on the mess! :)

Question:	Is it Cruelty free
Answer:	It was not mentioned on the bottle about being cruelty free.

Answer:	Yes.
Question:	Is it worth the price
Answer:	Oh my Yes. I use a spinning brush and a little dab, foams up and rinses off squeaky clean. It will last me most of the year this way. If you just use you hands it won't last as long. I'm on a fixed budget the price is perfect. Highly recommend.
Question:	Does this kill germ, bacteria
Answer:	All soaps kill germs and bacteria. This is a gentle soap for your face, however, with moisturizers and other stuff good for the face. I would not recommend this for hand washing - I mean its better than nothing, but this is strictly a face cleanser, not an antibacterial hand washing soap.

User questions & answers

Question:	What are the exfoliating beads made out of? Do they disolve
Answer:	I have no idea but there are not many of them. It's really not a great exfoliating product. Apricot by Ivy is much better and a real exfoliating product.
Question:	Since this facial scrub doesn't have microbeads, what provides the "scrubbing" element to exfoliate
Answer:	The product has "exfoliating beads" according to product label and it definitely has a gritty consistency. I will also mention that there is menthol in the scrub, so be careful near your eyes, nose & mouth.
Question:	Does this have microbeads or plastic in it
Answer:	I don’t know if they’re plastic but they do have this little beads.. you feel the exfoliation but it’s not hard. I’ve used this since I was 13 and has worked great for me!
Question:	how long does it take to work
Answer:	It takes about a minute. So, wet your skin with warm water. Let it sit on your skin and do it's thing. Then wash off with warm water and voila. Great for oily skin.
