DP Dermaceuticals CLR Lotion 50ml

Acne treatment lotion for impure and oily skin

Acne is a condition with multiple causes at once. Clogged pores, excessive sebum production, inflammation, and the bacteria Cutibacterium acnes work together to cause pimples, blackheads, and cysts. One ingredient rarely solves this complex problem — what works is a formula that addresses multiple causes simultaneously without drying out or damaging the skin barrier. Because a dried-out acne-prone skin actually produces more oil as compensation, worsening the problem.

DP Dermaceuticals CLR Lotion 50ml is the full size for those who want to seriously tackle acne and impurities. The formula combines salicylic acid, lactic acid, oligopeptide-10, manuka honey, and niacinamide for a comprehensive multi-level treatment. The generous 50ml size is designed for twice-daily use and lasts about two to three months — exactly the treatment period needed for visible improvement in acne.

Benefits

• Reduces pimples, blackheads, and impurities through multi-level action
• Regulates excessive sebum production without drying out the skin
• Exfoliates dead skin cells for a smoother and more even skin texture
• Soothes inflammation and redness around active breakouts
• Fades post-inflammatory pigmentation spots after healed acne

Active ingredients

Salicylic Acid: An oil-soluble beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores and dissolves blockages. Salicylic acid is the most effective ingredient against blackheads and whiteheads. It also has anti-inflammatory properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin prone to rosacea.

Oligopeptide-10: A short bioactive antimicrobial peptide consisting of fifteen amino acids. Specifically targets Cutibacterium acnes — the bacteria that causes acne — without disturbing the beneficial skin flora. Works synergistically with salicylic acid for enhanced effect.

Manuka honey: Naturally antibacterial and anti-inflammatory. Manuka honey soothes irritated acne-prone skin, supports wound healing around breakouts, and helps fade acne scars and pigmentation spots — without the drying effect of many traditional acne treatments.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): Visibly refines enlarged pores, reduces redness, and helps regulate excessive sebum production. Niacinamide also strengthens the skin barrier, which is essential in active acne treatment to prevent dryness and compensatory oil production.

Lactic Acid: A mild alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that accelerates cell renewal and dissolves dead skin cells from the surface. This helps fade post-inflammatory pigmentation faster and makes the skin texture appear smoother and more even.

HylaFuse hyaluronic acid: Triple-weight hyaluronic acid that hydrates without oil or heaviness. Crucial in acne treatment: well-hydrated skin produces less compensatory oil and recovers faster after breakouts.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose the 50ml size instead of a smaller version?

The 50ml size is intended for twice-daily use over a complete acne treatment course. With morning and evening application, one bottle lasts about two to three months. This corresponds to the minimum treatment period needed for visible and lasting improvement in acne.

Can I combine CLR Lotion with other active ingredients?

Be cautious with combinations. Avoid using retinol or strong vitamin C in the same step simultaneously, as this can overload the skin. For pigmentation spots after acne, you can apply Brite Lite before CLR Lotion. If sensitive, it is wise to start once a day and build up.

Is this lotion suitable for sensitive acne-prone skin?

Yes. Although the formula is powerful, it also contains soothing ingredients like manuka honey, niacinamide, and plant extracts that counteract irritation. For very reactive skin, we recommend starting every other day and gradually increasing the frequency.

When will I see results from CLR Lotion?

The first improvement in skin texture and reduction of blackheads is often visible within two to four weeks. For significant reduction of active breakouts, consistent use for eight to twelve weeks is recommended — exactly the usage period of a 50ml bottle.

Can I use this serum in combination with acne medication?

When using prescribed acne medication such as tretinoin, benzoyl peroxide, or oral antibiotics, it is advisable to first consult your dermatologist or skin therapist. CLR Lotion can often be used as a supplement, but the build-up schedule varies per situation.
