Description
Acnof Acne Solution Cleansing Gel 100ml — NDGA, Oleanolic Acid & Aloe Vera
Acnof Acne Solution Cleansing Gel by Asra Derm is a specialised 100ml face wash gel targeting the root causes of acne: excess sebum, bacterial growth, and skin cell hyperkeratosis. It features two rarely seen but highly effective actives — NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid) and Oleanolic Acid — alongside Aloe Vera and Vitamin E Beads for a comprehensive acne-cleansing solution.
Key Actives & How They Work
- NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid) — a natural antioxidant and cell growth regulator extracted from the creosote plant. It inhibits skin cell hyperkeratosis (the excessive build-up of dead skin cells that blocks pores) and reduces inflammation associated with acne. NDGA also inactivates yeast and bacterial infections on the skin surface.
- Oleanolic Acid — a plant-derived triterpene that regulates 5-alpha reductase activity, reducing excessive sebum (hyperseborrhea) production. By addressing the sebum trigger, it lowers the likelihood of pore blockage and inflammatory acne.
- Aloe Vera — soothes skin during cleansing, reduces redness, and provides gentle hydration to prevent post-wash dryness.
- Vitamin E Beads — encapsulated antioxidant beads that release during massage, protecting skin from oxidative stress and supporting barrier recovery.
Key Benefits
- Reduces excessive sebum production for long-term oil control
- Inhibits hyperkeratosis to prevent pore clogging and comedone formation
- Inactivates acne-causing bacteria and yeast on the skin surface
- Reduces skin inflammation and redness associated with acne
- Soothes and hydrates during cleansing to prevent over-stripping
- Suitable for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types
How to Use

Frequently Asked Questions
What is NDGA and why is it used in a face wash?
NDGA (Nordihydroguaiaretic Acid) is a plant-derived antioxidant that regulates excessive skin cell growth (hyperkeratosis), which is a major cause of pore blockage. By inhibiting this process alongside bacterial and yeast growth, NDGA helps prevent acne at its root causes — making it particularly effective in a cleanser used regularly.
Is this a rinse-off or leave-on product?
Rinse-off. Apply, massage briefly to activate the Vitamin E Beads, allow to sit briefly, then rinse thoroughly with water. Use twice daily.
Is it suitable for daily use?
Yes — use at least twice daily (morning and evening) for best results. The formula is designed for regular use without over-stripping skin.
Can I use this if I also use a leave-on acne treatment?
Yes — use Acnof as the cleansing step, then follow with your leave-on acne treatment (serum, gel, or cream) once the skin is clean and dry.
Does it contain any prescription ingredients?
No — Acnof is a non-medicated cosmetic product. No prescription is required.
