Every Tuesday night I use the exfoliate instead of the toner. You let it dry completely. It takes about 15 minutes. I usually don’t put anything on after using the exfoliate because I am too tired to wait for it to dry. It works for me.
Then about once a month or every two weeks on a Friday night, after using the toner, I use exfoliate rinse off treatment. Afterwards I finish with the boost and night moisturizer.

*UPDATE*
I've been using this face wash for over a year now and there is still no progress with break outs. The only thing this does for me is leave my face soft and less oily. I still get about 2 breakouts a month. For reference, I have oily skin, 23 years old and female. I get acne on any part of my face, by the acne is usually isolated (1-2 zits per facial area), while it's worse on my chin area (clustered & stubborn). I'm going to try my luck with a different face wash and give this to my mom so that it's not wasted. 3 stars just because of the oil control and facial softness, plus it helps my complexion but DOES NOT affect dark spots at all.
