Potential Side Effects of Phlox Acne Bar

Even though it has gentle and natural ingredients, some side effects or reactions are possible, especially if overused.

1. Dryness or Flakiness (if overused)

• Tea Tree Oil and Zinc Oxide can be drying, especially if you:

  • Use it more than 2–3 times daily

  • Already have dry or sensitive skin

Tip: Start with once daily use, and increase only if your skin tolerates it well.

2. Skin Irritation or Allergic Reaction

• Some people may be sensitive to:

  • Tea Tree Oil (can cause redness, rash, or stinging in sensitive skin)

  • Wheat Germ Oil (may trigger irritation in those with wheat or gluten sensitivity, though rare via skin)

 Always do a patch test before regular use, especially if you have reactive or allergy-prone skin.

3. Mild Purging Phase

• As with many acne products, the skin may temporarily purge (bring pimples to the surface) in the first 1–2 weeks.

This is typically short-lived, but if irritation worsens, discontinue use.

How to Use It Effectively

• Step 1: Wet face with lukewarm water.

• Step 2: Rub bar between hands to create a rich lather.

• Step 3: Massage gently on face for 2 minutes using fingertips.

• Step 4: Rinse off completely and pat dry.

• Frequency: Start with once daily; increase to 2–3 times/day if skin is very oily and tolerates it well.
