Why do I get body acne?
The pores of the skin on the body are different from the face. They are far bigger and active. The fact that most of the time they stay covered up does not help in the matter. Sweat, oil and synthetic fabrics irritate the pores and this can easily lead infectious bacteria to clog the surface, causing an acne nodule to form. Many reasons, such as hormone imbalances or over-activity also play a part in this. But the best way to prevent this acne from forming is to the keep the skin in a condition that does not make it easy for acne-forming bacteria to invade, and this where ZENMED® comes in.
How Does The ZENMED® Body Acne Combo Work?
Step 1 - ZENMED® Botanical Acne Mask and Spot Treatment – A clay based, botanical-infused mask product designed to be smoothed over the skin before showering. Leaving this product on for 2-5 minutes (or until dry) will effectively absorb excess oil from the skin, while anti-bacterial agents like Oregano Oil work to kill surface acne bacteria. A high grade Salicylic Acid and Citric Acid combination simultaneously penetrate the skin to help open up the clogged pores and soften the skin.
Step 2 – ZENMED® Botanical Body Acne Wash – Once in the shower, use this product to wash the Botanical Acne Mask off. This body wash is an effective cleansing agent supplemented with ground all-natural Walnut Shells to give the skin an invigorating exfoliation while increasing blood flow in the localized area. Once again, high grade Salicylic Acid as well as non-irritating cleansing agents are utilized to maximize the effects of this extremely effective body cleanser. Your skin will be softer, smoother and acne will clear up faster than ever before.
Do I have to buy them together?
The Combo system is what you will see the best and fastest results with and we do recommend trying it together first and foremost. You can however purchase them separately but you get greater savings when purchasing both.
How long should this treatment take?
All in all, using this system in the morning should take less than 8-10 minutes. This procedure should be repeated 2-3 times a week. The Body Acne Combo should last about 2 months.

I Am Seeing Results On My Body, Now Can I Use These Products On My Face?
Only with extreme caution. Since these formulas are far more potent both in botanicals and medicated ingredients, we recommend you absolutely not use any other products on your face while using these. Especially products like Glycolic Acid, Retin A, Tazorac should be avoided while using these formulations. Also exercise caution when exposing your skin to the sun as the exfoliating ingredients may make your skin more susceptible to sunburns, even severe sun reactions. Please always use protective clothing or at least a SPF 30 sunscreen.
What else can I do to help my condition?
There are many things you can do. One is to avoid synthetic fabrics. Another is to always take a shower and exfoliate after periods of heavy perspiration (the Botanical Body Wash is ideal for taking to the gym). Avoid using oils and comedogenic lotions. If you get breakouts after waxing, make sure to remove any remnants of wax using rubbing alcohol. If your condition is severe then ZENMED® Derma Cleanse® Capsules are also highly recommended. |
