Acne doesn't end when the breakout does — and this episode is all about treating the full journey. In this special Neutrogena-sponsored episode of the Science of Skin podcast, board-certified dermatologists Dr. Ted Lain and Dr. Patti Farris sit down with Rabab Hussain, PharmD, RPh. from Neutrogena's Translational Science team to break down the brand-new Evenly Clear acne line — a dermatologist-informed collection designed to tackle both active acne and post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) in one cohesive regimen.

Together, they dive deep into the science behind each product, including:
Evenly Clear Acne Cleanser — 2% salicylic acid + polyhydroxy acid (PHA/gluconolactone) for barrier-respecting exfoliation
Evenly Clear Acne Gel Moisturizer — 0.5% salicylic acid, N-acetylglucosamine, and a pre & postbiotic complex to support the skin microbiome and fade post-acne marks
Evenly Clear Acne Cleansing Mask — 3.5% benzoyl peroxide + bentonite clay for oily, acne-prone skin on the face and body
Evenly Clear Retinoid — 0.1% adapalene for acne treatment, exfoliation, and anti-pigmentation benefits
Evenly Clear Acne Exfoliant — an AHA + BHA + PHA trifecta with glycolic acid, salicylic acid, mandelic acid, and PHA for multi-acid exfoliation with tolerability in mind
Evenly Clear Clarifying Spray — a stabilized hypochlorous acid spray for on-the-go skin support

Whether you're treating teens, adult women with hormonal acne, or patients with skin of color concerned about dark marks, this episode gives you the clinical rationale to confidently recommend OTC options — no prior authorization required.

Topics covered: acne treatment regimens, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, skin barrier repair, the skin microbiome and dysbiosis, retinoids OTC, chemical exfoliants, hypochlorous acid, benzoyl peroxide tolerability, and building a complete acne skincare routine.
