Ingredients come first
Every ingredient in our White Drying Lotion has one job to eliminate the blemish it's applied to as fast as possible. This is not a gentle daily product, it is a targeted overnight intervention for deep, inflamed breakouts that need stronger action than a regular cleanser or toner can deliver. Five ingredients, each helping from a different angle simultaneously. No water, no filler, no dilution. The sediment at the bottom of the bottle is where the active ingredients live and why shaking it before use is not optional.
Why these ingredients work
1. ZINC OXIDE PASTE. OIL ABSORPTION + SKIN PROTECTION
Zinc Oxide absorbs the excess sebum that feeds an active blemish while simultaneously forming a protective layer over the inflamed tissue. It reduces the redness and swelling visible at the surface and creates the environment the other actives need to work effectively overnight.
2. BENTONITE CLAY. DEEP EXTRACTION
Bentonite Clay draws the contents of the blemish upward and outward, accelerating the natural resolution process that would otherwise take days longer without intervention.
3. SALICYLIC ACID. INSIDE THE PORE
Oil-soluble and able to penetrate directly into the pore, Salicylic Acid dissolves the sebum and dead cell buildup that is physically blocking the pore from clearing.
4. TEA TREE OIL. ANTIBACTERIAL
Tea Tree Oil kills the acne-causing bacteria (C. acnes) living inside the blemish directly, addressing the infection rather than just the inflammation it produces.
5. ESSENTIAL PEPPERMINT OIL. COOL + REDUCE INFLAMMATION
Menthol, the active compound in Peppermint Oil, produces an immediate cooling sensation that reduces the throbbing discomfort of deep inflamed blemishes on contact.
How to use our White Drying Lotion
/01
APPLICATION WITH Q-TIP ONLY
Dip a clean cotton swab into the bottle immediately after shaking. Apply the white sediment directly onto the blemish on the face or body with a single dabbing motion. Do not rub in. Do not spread onto surrounding skin. The formula is concentrated for spot use only and is not intended for full-face or large-area application.
/02
NIGHTTIME USE
Apply as the last step in your evening routine, after cleansing and any other treatments. Leave it to dry completely do not touch or rub the area after application. The formula works while you sleep and the sediment will have dried on the spot by morning. Rinse off gently with your morning cleanse.
/03
ON THE BODY
Works equally well on chest, back, and shoulder breakouts. The q-tip application method is the same regardless of location dab directly onto each individual blemish and leave overnight. Do not apply under tight clothing immediately after application as this can displace the formula before it dries
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The active ingredients, Zinc Oxide and Bentonite Clay, are heavier than the liquid base and settle to the bottom of the bottle between uses. The white sediment you see at the bottom is the concentrated active portion of the formula. Without shaking, you are applying mostly liquid with minimal actives. Shake every single time, immediately before use.
-
It is formulated for overnight use. The formula leaves a visible white residiment on the skin as it dries, which is not suitable under makeup or for daytime wear. Nighttime application also allows the actives to work uninterrupted for 6–8 hours the duration needed for meaningful results. Apply before bed and rinse in the morning.
-
The Green Drying Lotion is formulated for surface-level breakouts whiteheads and early-stage pimples that are close to the surface. The White Drying Lotion is stronger and specifically targets deep, inflamed, under-the-skin blemishes that need more aggressive intervention. If a blemish is painful to touch or visibly swollen beneath the surface, reach for the white. For a blemish that is already forming a head or sitting at the surface, the green is sufficient.
-
It is effective on deep inflamed blemishes and will reduce swelling and accelerate resolution. For true cystic acne large, painful nodules that do not come to a head consistent results require a broader treatment approach. This lotion helps manage individual cysts but is not a standalone treatment for chronic cystic acne. Consult an esthetician for a full protocol.
-
The formula is concentrated and can dry out healthy skin around the blemish with repeated contact. If this happens, apply a small amount of moisturizer to the surrounding area in the morning after rinsing. Going forward, use a fresh q-tip per blemish and dab precisely the more targeted the application, the better the result.
