Clarifying Cleanser

Gel Cleanser

This powerful daily gel cleanser features 2% salicylic acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA), to deeply cleanse pores, dissolve excess oil, and reduce the appearance of existing breakouts. It utilizes a dual-action salicylic acid system, with both a free form for immediate treatment and an encapsulated form for sustained release, ensuring continuous acne-fighting benefits even after rinsing. Infused with green tea extract, the formula helps to calm and soothe irritated skin, minimizing redness and discomfort often associated with acne. Regular use helps to purify the skin, control oil production, and promote a clearer, healthier-looking complexion.
