The Epiclear acne treatment uses the combination power of salicylic acid (recognized by the FDA as an effective acne medication) and new liposome technology to prevent acne unlike any product out there. At a microscopic level, the ingredients in Epiclear work in tandem to get down the source of your acne and allow the skin to heal from the inside out. Salicylic acid opens the door as dead skin cells are shed to allow the tiny liposomes to travel through the door, deep inside your pores. Once there, the soy based liposome is dissolved by the skin, releasing Epiclear's soothing ingredients (Vitamins A, C, and E) that really make a difference in your complexion. With every day use of Epiclear, you will have clearer and smoother looking skin, and proactively fight new acne and scarring from breakouts. And because it's a light spray, Epiclear can be used effectively to prevent acne on hard to reach body areas like the shoulders or back.
