Frequently Asked Questions

Both salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide help to effectively clear acne – however, these ingredients are also known to cause excessive dryness and possible skin irritations, which isn’t ideal if you’re using acne treatment for sensitive skin. Those ingredients are not recommended for sensitive skin because they make your skin much drier than needed to treat acne.

Fun fact: your skin is the largest organ in the body! That means it has an ecosystem all of its own, and is home to a wide-range of microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi and viruses. All of that is known as the skin’s microbiome.

As the skin is a primary physical barrier, it’s the interface to the outside environment and can protect the body from foreign organisms and substances. The makeup of your skin’s microbiome varies on different parts of your body, with some microorganisms thriving in moist areas, dry areas, or oily spots.

Many of these microorganisms are harmless and even beneficial to the skin, which is why we want to maintain the balance even with acne treatment. Disruptions or imbalance (dysbiosis) can also lead to skin disorders or infections, like acne. Some other things that might affect the skin’s microbiome are hormones, genes, diet and other lifestyle choices or external environment factors.

Topical products applied to the skin can also interfere with the skin’s microbiome. That’s why here at Flexitol, we work hard to ensure we’re giving your skin the best chance and creating a unique acne treatment.

Excess oil or sebum production is one of the main factors causing acne. This happens when the glands under the skin enlarge and produce more oil. Too much oil allows bacteria to grow (remembering that some of the microorganisms in the skin microbiome thrive in oily spots!).

The Flexitol Acne Control range is the ideal acne treatment for sensitive skin. Our Acne Control Wash is an ultra-gentle foaming cleanser free from soap, SLS and oil, while thoroughly cleansing the skin. The Acne Control Wash effectively unclogs pores without stripping the skin of its essential oils, or adding more oil into the mix. Most importantly, it is free from peroxide and acids and will not damage the skin’s microbiome.

We recommend using Flexitol Acne Control Wash and Acne Control Lotion even if you are not suffering from acne. These products are effective for maintaining clear and hydrated skin. Our Flexitol Acne Control Wash is an ultra-gentle, daily cleanser – it really is the last acne treatment regime you’ll ever have to try!

Flexitol Acne Control Lotion can be used as a daily moisturizer, providing intense, oil-free hydration that balances the skin’s microbiome with hyaluronic acid and aloe vera.

We don’t recommend using the Flexitol Acne Control Spot Cream as a preventative method against acne – only use the spot cream when breakouts occur.

Flexitol is seriously next gen acne management, free from harsh chemicals, acid and bleach! Regularly using the Acne Control Wash as a daily cleanser and Acne Control Lotion as a daily moisturizer can prevent acne flare-ups.
 
Remember: one of the main causes of acne is excess sebum production, which is regulated by our key ingredient, SeboclearTM. Another cause of acne can be clogged pores, and our Acne Control Wash will gently unclog pores, while the Acne Control Lotion balances the skin’s microbiome, all preventing further acne breakouts.

The Flexitol Acne Control range has no known negative reactions associated with other conditions or medications – it is an ideal acne treatment. However, it’s a good idea to speak to your doctor before using our products if you are already taking prescription medication for acne.
 
With your doctor’s approval, our Acne Control Wash and Lotion can be used as complementary products to acne management if you are taking prescription medication.

I live by this product and it will never change. I has changed my life forever.

It is the best for dry or cracked lips! Excellent product 💯

Fizah, KSA

This product definitely worked for me. I have dry skin that can sometimes get painful when too dry.
It’s true that you only need to use this one to notice a difference. If your want your skin to be smooth all day definitely get this.
Healthy skin is a must. Helped my dry skin on my legs and arms so intensely!

I highly recommend the Flexitol Anti-Ageing Hand Balm for anyone looking to rejuvenate and restore their hands.

Kyslene Rodriguez, UAE

My hands are visibly and instantly looking younger. Makes the skin so mooth and soft

If your heels are catching on your socks or or leggings when putting on, this will have them always smooth looking very quickly.
This has a very high urea content, which is a good for both exfoliating and moisturizing your feet and knees.
It’s very thick which I love but it means your feet won’t absorb it really quick. Better to put it on when you don’t have to
walk around for at least an hour. Or put on thin cotton socks. Socks won’t absorb much of the cream due to how thick the cream is.
Save your money and use this cream from the start instead.

Vi, UAE

The only product I saw fast results from it!

Shama, UAE

This was recommend by my husband’s foot dr because of his diabetes and has been a great cream for the
whole family to use on their feet! We originally bought the lotion in the tube but have switched to the stick just for
an easier application when appling it yourself.
