For those with relatively minor acne who are consistent with the Kit, improvement often comes within a few days.

It can take up to three weeks for your skin to adjust to use of the Lexli Acne Kit. During this time, some individuals may find that acne symptoms worsen and dryness, redness, irritation and/or slight peeling can occur.
If you experience side effects during the first few weeks of using the Lexli Acne Kit, reduce use of Clarifying Lotion and AloeGlyC® to a frequency that your skin can tolerate. For some individuals, reducing use of these products to just once per day is sufficient.; for others, reducing use of these products to just once every other day is necessary. When your skin can tolerate this reduced frequency, begin working up to the suggested twice-daily application.
If symptoms don’t improve after three weeks, discontinue use of the Lexli Acne Kit.
8. How likely is it that I will experience irritation?
Most individuals with acne-prone skin do not experience irritation. Those with skin that tends to be sensitive or dry may experience mild redness, dryness and/or irritation. The answer, therefore, depends upon the characteristics of your skin.

For those with moderate-to-severe acne, the Lexli Acne Kit should be used twice each day: morning and evening. If acne symptoms are mild, the Lexli Acne Kit may be used just once each day – morning or evening, supplementing with a mild cleanser, such as Lexli Cleansing Lotion, and lightweight moisturizer, such as Lexli Day Moisturizer with SPF 30 or Lexli Daily Moisturizer for Oily Skin, during the alternate period.
12. Should I stop using the Lexli Acne Kit if my acne symptoms disappear?
No. Acne is a chronic condition for many individuals that is highly likely to relapse. Even if acne symptoms disappear, use of the Lexli Acne Kit is important in that it continuously works to balance sebum levels, helps to minimize the presence of bacteria that causes acne, promotes healthy desquamation of skin cells and assists in minimizing skin inflammation.
13. Will the Lexli Acne Kit help with acne scarring?
While the Lexli Acne Kit has been formulated to control acne symptoms and reduce breakouts, many users have reported an improvement in the appearance of acne scars. This is attributed to ingredients like glycolic acid, which helps to boost production of collagen and elastin, skin proteins that give skin its strength and elasticity; Vitamin C, which helps to brighten skin and lighten hyperpigmentation; and Vitamin E, which helps to improve the appearance of scars.
14. Can I use the Lexli Acne Kit if I am pregnant or nursing?
The ingredients in the Lexli Acne Kit are overwhelmingly safe for use during pregnancy or nursing. Please note, however, that select products in the Lexli Acne Kit contain salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide. Physicians occasionally advise women to avoid these ingredients while pregnant or nursing. Therefore, we suggest you consult your physician before using the Lexli Acne Kit if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.
MothertoBaby, a service of the non-profit Organization of Teratology Information Specialists (OTIS), provides this information regarding use of topical acne treatment products during pregnancy:
Benzoyl Peroxide: “There are no studies looking at women who use topical benzoyl peroxide during pregnancy. However, because only about 5% of the amount applied on the skin is absorbed into the body, it is not likely to increase risk for birth defects.”
Salicylic Acid: “When applied on the skin, the amount of salicylic acid that enters the body would be much less than when a woman takes low dose aspirin. For this reason, it is unlikely that topical salicylic acid would pose any risk to a developing baby.”
