How It Works
Dr. Rivers' Comprehensive Acne Treatment was developed after countless patient inquiries for an effective, topical acne solution without the side-effects common with other treatments.
The two-chambered treatment includes:
A patented base formulation
An acidifying solution with .6% salicylic acid
When these two combine, they change the condition of the epidermal environment.
The resulting site is inhospitable to the acne-causing bacteria.

FAQ
Dr. Rivers answers the most frequently asked questions about the Comprehensive Acne Treatment.
1. Will it work on cystic acne?
Cystic acne can be very complex and generally requires oral treatment: antibiotics or isotretinoin. If the cystic acne is caused by hormonal factors, the birth control pill, or spironolactone are commonly used options.
2. Which products can I use with it?
We would suggest using the product after cleansing, and before a moisturizer. The selection of each would vary depending on skin type. A 4% Glycolic Peel and sunscreen would be excellent additions to any acne routine.
3. Why 0.6% salicylic acid?
This amount is required to acidify the base formulation and help clear some acne pimples in the process with mild exfoliation. 0.6% salicylic won't be overly drying on the skin, which is beneficial for acne patients. Salicylic acid is keratolytic. It helps open the acne pores, which can help to control breakouts. However, too much can irritate and peel the skin excessively.
4. Is it just for adult acne or good for teens as well?
This acne treatment is suitable for anyone with mild/moderate inflammatory acne.
5. Is this product pregnancy safe?
Totally safe.
6. Will this work with "maskne" caused by wearing a face mask constantly?
Yes, it will help with acne mechanica, aka "maskne". This type of acne is generally caused by pore occlusion and irritation of the skin from physical pressure. Anyone experiencing "maskne" or acne mechanica should cleanse the skin well and use a moisturizer before masking (20 minutes before). These steps will help reduce the acne-inducing irritation that masks can cause.
7. Will this help control my acne rosacea?
The combined formulations in this product can cause short and mild vasodilation. Theoretically, this can exacerbate rosacea symptoms. We don't recommend the Riversol acne treatment for acne rosacea at this time.
8. Will this dry out my skin?
It shouldn't. The salicylic acid content at 0.6% is a safe concentration for skin prone to dryness. Additionally, the patented base formulation contains hydrating ingredients.
9. Where does it go in your routine? (e.g. If I'm already using multiple steps: a cleanser, serum, eye repair, corrector, etc.)
We would suggest: if you're using a serum, we would suggest to use the acne treatment right after the serum. If your primary skin concern is acne, skip the serum and use the treatment right after cleansing.
