FAQs
1. What is TT2 technology?
TT-2 Technology is Novology's patented blend of Thymol and Terpineol. Thymol breaks down the outer cell wall of acne-causing bacteria, while Terpineol stops the bacteria from building resistance. Together, they clear active acne, blackheads, and whiteheads without disturbing the skin's beneficial microbiome — unlike broader-spectrum actives like salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide.
2. How often should I use this cleanser?
Novology Acne Deep Clearing Cleanser is designed for twice-daily use — morning and evening. Apply a pea-sized amount to a damp face, massage gently, then rinse with lukewarm water. Follow with a moisturizer and, in the morning, sunscreen to complete your acne-care routine..
3. Is it safe for sensitive skin?
Yes. Novology Acne Deep Clearing Cleanser is hypoallergenic and formulated to be gentle enough for beginners and sensitive, acne-prone skin. It cleanses without stripping the skin's natural moisture barrier, so it won't leave sensitive skin feeling tight or irritated.
4. How do Thymol and Terpineol work together?
Thymol and Terpineol are the two actives behind Novology's patented TT-2 Technology. Thymol breaks down the outer cell wall of acne-causing bacteria, while Terpineol weakens their resistance to it — together clearing active acne, blackheads, and whiteheads without disturbing the skin's beneficial microbiome.
5. When will I start seeing results?
Many users notice a reduction in acne in just 3 washes.
6. How is this different from a salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide based face wash?
Salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide work by broadly exfoliating or drying out the skin, which can disrupt its natural barrier. Novology's TT-2 Technology (Thymol + Terpineol) instead targets only acne-causing bacteria, leaving beneficial bacteria intact — so you get clearer skin without the dryness or irritation common with harsher actives.
