How It Works
Dr. Rivers' Comprehensive Acne Treatment was developed after countless patient inquiries for an effective, topical acne solution without the side-effects common with other treatments.
The two-chambered treatment includes:
A patented base formulation
An acidifying solution with .6% salicylic acid
When these two combine, they change the condition of the epidermal environment.
The resulting site is inhospitable to the acne-causing bacteria, p. acnes.
Ingredients
Beta-Thujaplicin (Beta-T)
An antioxidant found in the extract of the Pacific red cedar tree that has been shown in
peer-reviewed dermatological literature to have an impressive rejuvenating effect on the skin.
Studies have shown Beta-T to reduce the appearance of discoloration and dark spots.
Hydration Complex - 3.0%
To synthesize and maintain the skin’s optimal level of hyaluronic acid
Booster Complex
A combination of vitamin C, which helps Retinol penetrate more deeply, and a gel delivery system that keeps the active ingredients next to the skin throughout the day.
Retinol - 0.5%

How To Use
Start by using the cleanser, followed by the moisturizer, once per day.
Use the Comprehensive Acne Treatment after cleansing the skin thoroughly. For new users: Apply to a small area once daily for 3 days to test for sensitivity. If no discomfort occurs, thoroughly mix two pumps into the palm of a clean hand and cover the affected area. If bothersome dryness or peeling occurs, reduce application to once a day or every other day.
After two weeks, cleanse and moisturize twice per day, ideally morning and night. Use acne treatment after cleansing as needed.
Use within 12 months of opening
Comprehensive Acne Treatment Warnings: External use only. • Irritation and dryness are more likely if you use another topical acne product at the same time. If irritation occurs, use only one product. • Avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, flush thoroughly with water. • Keep out of reach of children. • If swallowed, or if you develop hives, swelling of eyes or mouth, blistering, or difficulty breathing get medical help or contact a poison control center right away.
How to Apply Retinol
- Wash your face and wait a few minutes until your skin is completely dry. This is important.
- If you're using a serum such as the Riversol Anti-Aging Serum or the Corrector, apply this before the retinol. Allow the skin to dry completely before proceeding.
- Apply a pea-size amount of retinol to your face with your fingertips in upward and outward motions, starting at your chin.
Add Retinol to Your Routine
To get the most out of adding retinol to your routine, please put use in this order:
- Cleanser (including Micellar Water)
- Serums
- Spot Treatments (Acne Treatment)
- Retinol
- Moisturizer
Remember to use sunscreen the following morning.
Retinol Schedule for New Users

Week 3

Reduce the application time to 1 hour (instead of 2) for a full week, then move to 2 hours in the next week. Proceed until you can comfortably wear it for 3 hours with no irritation for a full week.
FAQ
Dr. Rivers answers the most frequently asked questions about the Comprehensive Acne Treatment.
1. Will it work on cystic acne?
Cystic acne can be very complex and generally requires oral treatment: antibiotics or isotretinoin. If the cystic acne is caused by hormonal factors, the birth control pill, or spironolactone are commonly used options.
2. Which products can I use with it?
We would suggest using the product after cleansing, and before a moisturizer. The selection of each would vary depending on skin type. A 4% Glycolic Peel and sunscreen would be excellent additions to any acne routine.
3. Why 0.6% salicylic acid?
This amount is required to acidify the base formulation and help clear some acne pimples in the process with mild exfoliation. 0.6% salicylic won't be overly drying on the skin, which is beneficial for acne patients. Salicylic acid is keratolytic. It helps open the acne pores, which can help to control breakouts. However, too much can irritate and peel the skin excessively.
4. Is it just for adult acne or good for teens as well?
This acne treatment is suitable for anyone with mild/moderate inflammatory acne.
5. Is this product pregnancy safe?
Totally safe.
6. Will this work with "maskne" caused by wearing a face mask constantly?
Yes, it will help with acne mechanica, aka "maskne". This type of acne is generally caused by pore occlusion and irritation of the skin from physical pressure. Anyone experiencing "maskne" or acne mechanica should cleanse the skin well and use a moisturizer before masking (20 minutes before). These steps will help reduce the acne-inducing irritation that masks can cause.
7. Will this help control my acne rosacea?
The combined formulations in this product can cause short and mild vasodilation. Theoretically, this can exacerbate rosacea symptoms. We don't recommend the Riversol acne treatment for acne rosacea at this time.
8. Will this dry out my skin?
It shouldn't. The salicylic acid content at 0.6% is a safe concentration for skin prone to dryness. Additionally, the patented base formulation contains hydrating ingredients.
9. Where does it go in your routine? (e.g. If I'm already using multiple steps: a cleanser, serum, eye repair, corrector, etc.)
We would suggest: if you're using a serum, we would suggest to use the acne treatment right after the serum. If your primary skin concern is acne, skip the serum and use the treatment right after cleansing.
