LEROSETT® + Motivation = Clear Skin
First, a simple way to understand pimples and acne:
Oil production and bacteria play a part but pimples are really all about clogs. It's the clog in the follicle/pore that stops the oil flow, bacteria grow and you have a pimple. Most acne products kill bacteria. LEROSETT® removes clogs, that's why a mask is better at removing pimples than topical liquids. The 1st week of LEROSETT® use you are removing the clogs that will become pimples in a few weeks, the same in the second week of use, and so on.
Clogs are stage one of a pimple. Bacterial growth, redness, swelling and pain is stage two. Stop stage one and there will be no stage two! Pimples usually come in 2, 3 and 4 week cycles and different parts of your face can be on different cycles. You want to prevent the next cycle by preventing clogs today. This is why LEROSETT® is effective regardless of skin type because all pimples start from a clog. This is also why bacteria killing drugs don't really stop future pimples or work for all skin types because bacteria is not what causes a pimple, its just a side effect of the pimples you currently have.
As a general rule, the longer you've had pimples and the deeper they are, the longer it will take to get them out and achieve clear skin. If you've been using harsh drugs on your skin, this may add time to the detox and clearing process. Some acne drugs may help clear pimples temporarily, but you must keep using them every day, long term, risking potential skin damage to stay clear.
LEROSETT® is different. You use LEROSETT® several times a day during the initial clearing phase, then only a few times a week to stay clear. Unlike other products, LEROSETT® is also very good for your skin. You use less and less LEROSETT® as time goes by, not more and more and your skin gets softer, smoother and healthier in the process.
Understanding how LEROSETT® clears your
skin and then keeps it that way, long term:
Common products for problem skin and acne are usually applied twice a day, long term, regardless of skin condition. LEROSETT® Clay Treatment should be applied depending on your condition. In the beginning, during the initial clearing phase, you need to be aggressive.
To clear regular problem skin with shallow pimples (example #1, #2, #3 and #4) can take 1-2 masks per day for 7-14 days plus spot treating. Severe pimples and very deep cystic pimples (example #5, #6, #7 and #9) can take 2-3 masks per day for 14-30 days and in extreem cases up to 60 days.
Once you reach your clear point, 3-5 masks per week will keep your skin clear. These weekly masks will also infuse minerals that minimize oil production, detox the skin, absorbs bacteria, oil, dead skin cells, increase blood flow, minimize pore size and make the skin smoother and healthier.
There are an unlimited number of variables because everyone is different, while at the same time everyone is still the same because pimples are formed by a clog (comedone.) This is why LEROSETT® should remove and prevent pimples for everyone who uses it in the correct way for their particular pimple depth, type and condition, regardless of skin-type. For LEROSETT® skin types is not as important as pimple type.
When 1-3 masks a day plus spot treatments and moisturizing after each mask doesn't start to clear pimples within 21-days contact use, we will help get you clear. You may also have a condition that looks like acne but really isn't.
There are two ways to use LEROSETT®:
The dotting or spot treatment method is extremely effective and is for removing individual pimples and for scar prevention after an extraction. You can stop a pimple in its tracks by dotting early and often. After an extraction, spot treat often. This will close the opening, effectively preventing scarring.
The full or partial facial mask method is to prevent and remove seeds, clogs, or micro-comedones that are the beginning of your next pimple cycle in 3-4 weeks. Masking is also for oil absorption, general purging, detox and mineral infusion that cuts oil production and makes your skin super smooth. If you only spot treat, you won't prevent pimples in areas you have not used the clay. So mask often and moisturize as needed. It all depends on your skin type, condition, where you are in the initial clearing phase and how often you apply the clay.
LEROSETT® is a one step treatment. However, the hydroponically grown aloe based LEROSETT® Moisturizer and Healing Serum are not just hydrators. They're naturally anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and minimize scarring. For best results we recommend you use the LEROSETT® Moisturizer after each clay mask or the LEROSETT® Organic Acne System.
General Directions:
General use for normal oily skin to severe problem skin
Adjust your use depending on your condition and progress. See example case studies and continue daily until your skin clears.
- Mask: For the first few days use a full mask once or twice a day to kick start the purging process. Remove mask when dry 10-15 minutes. Masking will also start to infuse minerals that minimize oil "sebum" production, inflammation, redness and bacterial growth.
Its not how thick, its how often you clay.
Applying thin masks often is much more effective than a few thick masks. A thick mask won't absorb more than a thin mask, so apply thin, apply often and don't forget to moisturize after every mask.
Please Note: During the initial clearing phase you must use full facial masks every day "see who you are like in photo examples" and spot treat bigger pimples several times as well. Do not skip days during the initial clearing phase or clogs "pimple seeds" will remain and new pimples will come back as usual in a few weeks.
Tip: If you're in a hurry, rub the clay into your skin. It will go in deeper and dry faster.
- As your complexion improves, gradually decrease use. Infusing minerals plays a large role in preventing the return of problem skin so masking will need to be done a few times per week, long term, to keep clog's away and oil production to a minimum.
- Spot treatments are important: Spot treat individual pimples often or as needed. A bit thick is ok. It should dry in 15-20 Minutes. The earlier the better and you can spot treat overnight. You can spot treat several times a day, just remove when dry or convenient. Wait at least an hour between spot treatments.
- Spot treating a popped pimple: If you have to extract a pimple "that is ready" wait until the main drainage is over "maybe 30 min". Use a cotton ball for drainage then spot treat the extraction point several times a day and sleep with the spot treatment. This will absorb remaining liquids, infection, and help close the opening which prevents a scab and thereby minimizes scarring. LEROSETT® Clay can be used as a drying paste.
- Moisturize: The aloe based LEROSETT® Moisturizer "Moisture Matte" or LEROSETT® Healing Serum are oil-free, anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial and will hydrate your skin, minimizing the redness and swelling from pimples etc., while adding the nutrients that help the natural healing process.
- For the best overall outcome, use the entire LEROSETT® 3 or 4 part system.
- Never give up, quit or skip days. You will eventually reach a clear point. It's just that simple.
Even if you have normal skin with no pimples, a few LEROSETT® Clay masks per week will minimize pore size making your skin softer to the touch while preventing excessive oiliness and future blemishes. LEROSETT® will also detox your skin absorbing multiple environmental toxins that contribute to premature aging. Dont forget to put LEROSETT® on bug bites, razor burn, razor bumps "both guys & girls", itchy rash and ingrown hairs too, you will be happy you did.

Questions and Tips:
Rule #1:
It's not how much clay you use, it's how often.
Rule #2
It takes motivation on your part.
Don't give up, contact us for advice first.

I don't have time for all these masks!:
Sure you do and here's how. As soon as you wake up put on a thin layer of clay. Let it dry while you make your coffee and take it off in the shower. At night, put on a thin mask and let it dry while you brush your teeth. Thats it, two masks a day with minimal impact on your life.
Speed Tip: Rub the clay into your skin, it will go deeper and dry faster. If you're in a real hurry, use a hair dryer. (On cool, don't burn yourself).
LEROSETT® + Motivation = Clear Skin
You can stop a pimple before it starts:
Dot LEROSETT® several times on a pimple over the next 24-48 hours. DO THIS EARLY, BEFORE YOU CAN SEE IT but you can feel it's there and LEROSETT® will stop the pimple before it has a chance to become infected and grow.
If there is already some redness and some infection, dot LEROSETT® several times (5-10 times or more) on a pimple over the next 2-4 days and this will help to shorten the normal cycle of 7-10 days in half. For the late stage, ready for extraction, see the red link at the top of the page called "Properly Extracting Pimples". This page will explain how to properly use LEROSETT® to prevent scarring.
My skin is getting very dry:
It is normal to get a little dry; since you are removing all the bad stuff, you are also removing some oils. It's not a skin damaging dry like you can get with many chemical products. After you mask, replace the moisture with either the LEROSETT® Moisturizer or Healing Serum. If you are just too dry, use our ÄKTA® Moisturizer with Ceramides. It will moisturize the driest skin. LEROSETT® products are hydro-organic aloe based (not water or oil based) and are naturally anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial.
For some people, it may be too much to wash your face with a cleanser and then use the clay mask as well. You can mask directly on oily skin, which will prevent dryness. For some, using the clay mask without cleansing first is enough.
Try a wet mask:
Use half LEROSETT® Clay and Half LEROSETT® Moisturizer, mix and apply as a mask. Let sit for 30 minutes and remove. The mask will not dry but you will get many of the benefits and your skin will not get dry. You can also use LEROSETT® Clay as a face scrub and rinse like you would with a face wash.
Reactionary, sensitive, and red skin:
LEROSETT® is natural and should not cause irritation but it can cause an increase in blood circulation. This is a good thing but it can make your skin look temporarily red. If you are getting red skin and it does not relate to blood circulation (red for many hours) then you could have reactionary sensitive skin or detox skin. The most common form of reactionary skin is when your skin is sensitive or gets red because of a current or previous product. This reactionary sensitivity should soon pass as you acclimate to LEROSETT®. Minimize the use of LEROSETT® during this period. When you do mask, remove the clay immediately after it dries 10 minutes to minimize redness. Use a layer so thin you can hardly see it when it dries.
For Ingrown hairs and razor bumps:
For Ingrown hairs and razor bumps use LEROSETT® Clay the same way you would for pimples. For ingrown hair the trapped hair is lifted and for razor bumps the exfoliating properties lift the hair preventing redness and swelling. Use either as a spot treatment or as a mask. Particularly after shaving for a man or bikini area for a woman, apply a thin layer of clay and let dry then remove. This will stop redness and bumps and prevent any ingrown hairs from appearing.
Acne and products that work but may not be good for you:
Acne is a real skin disease that's not curable but most people don't have real acne they have problem skin. Acne is a chronic skin disease that lasts for years, if you only get pimples once a month "menstrual" that’s not acne, it's problem skin. If you have acne ONLY because your pregnant, that's not acne because it's not chronic, it's hormon related problem skin and it's treatable. Every teenager gets pimples, does every teenager in America have a skin disease? No.
LEROSETT® will remove symptoms like visible pimples, etc. so no one but you knows you have the problem. However, to keep pimples away some people need to use acne products for many months. This is why it's important to only use healthy, nutrient rich, professional grade, organic skin care like LEROSETT®. Harsh acne products with zero nutrients or antibiotics should not be used long term and acne is a long-term battle. Premature aging, thinning of skin, hyper pigmentation, irritation, becoming acclimated, super bugs and birth defects are just a few side effects of these harsh acne products. There is no magic pill and supplements won't prevent or remove actual clogs, the reason a pimple forms. Your skin also needs to heal and scars need to go away. For your skin to heal you need real aloe based moisturizers and cleansers as well, most products still use water as the main ingredient. Expert skin care counseling doesn’t hurt either, contact us, we can make a real difference.

Absorb, Regulate and then Prevent:
A strong ionic charge, ionic exchange, allows LEROSETT® to absorb the bad stuff in your pores like a magnet while natural minerals regulate the production of oil (sebum) glands, minimizing the return of problem skin like pimples, etc. These natural minerals can effectively fight bacteria in the same way as many antibiotics but without the side effect.
I have used LEROSETT® for weeks and it's not working:
There can be many reasons you're not seeing results, but the most common are not applying often enough or leaving it on long enough. We recommend that you call and speak to one of our skin care specialists. We will design a regime just for you. It could be makeup, food, stress, sleep, dirty pillows, bad soap or even left over meds in your skin from the last drug you used.
LEROSETT® pulls impurities out of your skin, but it also adds minerals that slow oil production. Every day you add more impurities to your skin in addition to what is already there. If you remove more impurities than you add on a daily basis without skipping, you WILL eventually reach a clear point. If pimples are still coming back weeks later, it's usually because your not removing more clogs than your adding. Until you do remove more clogs, you will keep getting pimples. Remember there is no cure for acne but there is a cure for pimples.
It's common to confuse acne with problem skin and other skin conditions.
Do you have red bumps that won't go away with acne products? This is very common, it's folliculitis and it's a fungal or yeast infection often related to antibiotics. If it comes and goes that's another clue its not acne, acne is chronic, it doesn't come and go. LEROSETT® can help smooth skin, detox, feed nutrients and remove redness and swelling but you need an anti-fungal to remove folliculitis.
Will my skin get worse before it gets better?:
Sometimes, buts it's a very good thing because it means your skin will finally get clear. This is often called purging. In 10%-15% of problem skin cases, oil and other impurities that lay under the skin and in the follicle will be drawn out with initial use, causing what may appear to be more pimples. The deeper the pimples the more likely purging may occur, LEROSETT® does NOT cause acne or pimples. These impurities are usually deep within the skin and must be removed in some way for your skin to become clear. Your body is fighting these impurities and they must come out sooner or later. Stay consistent and don't give up; you will soon reach a clear point.
Purging is often misunderstood and most people do not experience visible purging. Your pores must clear from below the surface before the surface of your skin can clear. Sometimes purging can take a while and you may need to use more clay more often.
As long as you dont give up and work it every day, your skin will clear. If it doesn't, please contact us for assistance. (Email, call or chat) We are glad to assist you.
What about blackheads?:
Blackheads can be difficult. They can't be washed away and pore strips are not effective because glue wont stick to oil. Blackheads must be physically removed by extraction and then prevented from returning by using LEROSETT®. The top of a black head is oxidized sebum. You can extract blackheads yourself if there is no sign of infection or redness. It's preferable to use a flat blackhead remover or a comedone extractor to remove blackheads. You can find this product at many beauty stores. LEROSETT® clay will soften the top layer of the blackhead and enable easier extraction. You can also loosen the top layer by placing your face over a bowl of hot water to steam open the pores. When you use LEROSETT® as a face mask several times a week, you will keep your pores clear and prevent the return of blackheads.
Lifestyle changes matter:
If you normally do a full mask every morning but you just started to play sports in the afternoon you may need more than one full mask per day because you are now adding more impurities (dirt, oil, sweat) than you're removing with just one mask. You may need to make adjustments depending on your lifestyle not just your skin type.
LEROSETT® is naturally exfoliating and can be effectively used as a wash cream as well. You will still get the benefit of mineral infusion as you remove oils and dead skin cells.
Using LEROSETT® as a wash cream:
DETOX:
If you have used lots of chemicals on your skin, you may need a few weeks to wean off certain chemicals before your skin can start to heal naturally. You can continue to use LEROSETT® products while you detoxify your skin.
These directions are only guidelines and you will soon find what method is best for you and your specific skin condition. LEROSETT® can be used in many ways. Skin care professionals have successfully used LEROSETT® for everything from ingrown hairs, razor burn, rosacea and even bug bites.
If results are less than expected it will usually relate to not using enough, not giving it enough time or skipping consistent applications. There may be lifestyle issues or problems related to other issues you may not have thought of. You may not have acne; there are conditions like rosacea or a staph infection of the follicle that may look like acne. Please contact us if you are having difficulty. We are here to help.
Although LEROSETT® has been proven to have no side effects; it is always a good idea to test any product on a small area first, especially with sensitive skin.
