SuperSolutions Acne Clearing Moisturizer 2% NOVORETINᵀᴹ

The INKEY List SuperSolutions Acne Clearing Moisturizer 2% NovoRetin is a night cream that doubles as an acne treatment. It combines sulfur, retinol and the brand's NovoRetin, and is non-comedogenic — the aim is fewer blemishes by morning without the stripping a spot treatment usually brings.

What it actually does

• Sulfur at 3% on the blemishes themselves. The INKEY List notes it is an FDA-recognised ingredient and credits it with cutting the number of visible breakouts.
• Retinol at 0.2% on texture. Listed as exfoliating, resurfacing visibly and smoothing out how textured skin looks.
• NovoRetin amplifies the retinol. At 2%, it is described as boosting what retinol does while smoothing uneven texture itself.
• Prevents as well as treats. Alongside clearing existing spots, the formula is positioned as helping stop new blemishes appearing.
• Moisturises while it works. This is a night cream first — nourishing and moisturising are part of the brief, not an afterthought.
• What the trial reported. In an overnight clinical trial with 20 people, the brand records it visibly clearing acne during sleep. Very small panel — individual results vary.

How to use

1. Patch test before anything else.
2. Nights only. Take a pea-sized amount onto a face you have cleansed, and carry it down the neck.
3. Twice a week to begin. Build up towards nightly use once your skin has settled, and only if it tolerates it.
4. Keep it alone. Do not run any other benzoyl peroxide or retinol product in the same routine.

Recycling: the carton, the tube and the cap can all be recycled — check your local rules. Where you can, cut the tube open, use up what is left inside, rinse it out and recycle it with the cap still on.

Questions

Can I use it every night straight away?

No — the brand's instruction is twice a week to start, increasing gradually towards nightly once your skin has adjusted, and only if it stays comfortable.

Can I combine it with my benzoyl peroxide wash?

The INKEY List says to keep other benzoyl peroxide and retinol-based products out of whatever routine you use this in. Pick one active route at a time.

Will it clog my pores?

It is formulated as non-comedogenic, which matters for a moisturiser aimed at acne-prone skin.

Does it smell of sulfur?

The product information does not describe the scent. Sulfur at 3% is an active here, so if you are sensitive to its smell, that is worth factoring in before you order.
