Rapid Response Maskne Spray

Rapid Response Maskne Spray by Renée Rouleau is a multi-action soothing treatment that interrupts mask-related breakouts in their early stages by instantly reducing surface bacteria on the skin. With the same formulation as the Rapid Response Detox Toner, this spray includes pore-clearing AHA and BHA exfoliants and microbiome-balancing prebiotic sugar. With one spritz, it encourages a healthy ecosystem where “bad” bacteria won’t thrive. The result is clearer, calmer skin when using protective face masks.

Pair with Rapid Response Detox Cleanser for even more acne-fighting benefits. You can also take this to the next level and add the Rapid Response Detox Masque, the product that started the whole line. The Rapid Response Detox Masque is very effective for preventing the appearance of all types of breakouts, including cysts, pustules, papules, and monthly hormonal blemishes.

Size: 2 fl oz

How Does this spray differ from the Rapid Response Detox Masque or Rapid Response Detox Cleanser?

Leptospermum Scoparium (Manuka) Branch/Leaf Oil and Tea Tree are the two ingredients that Rapid Response Detox Masque and Rapid Response Detox Cleanser have in common with this spray. The spray differs in that it offers advanced skin-smoothing exfoliation and more potent blackhead-clearing benefits. The addition of a prebiotic also promotes the growth of healthier bacteria to keep skin acting clear and calm.

Why did you choose to use prebiotics in the spray rather than probiotics? 

We chose to use prebiotics instead of probiotics in order to ensure a safe and effective product. Using probiotics in skincare can be risky because you’re adding live microbes to a product, which can be difficult to control. Prebiotics still positively affect your skin’s microbiome without the risks and challenges associated with the preservation and storage of live microbes.

Is this considered an exfoliating spray?

No. While it does have two acids in the formula that give the skin various benefits, they are used in a small amount and not enough to act as a true exfoliator.

Can I safely use an acid serum after using this spray or will that be too much?

You can safely use this spray with other exfoliating products without a problem.

Can I use this product if I’m pregnant?

Probably not. This product uses salicylic acid which some doctors suggest avoiding during pregnancy. Consult with your doctor.

Yes, Rapid Response Maskne Spray is vegan.

2% Betaine Salicylate (a Salicylic Acid complex) and 0.3% lactic acid.
