Best for

Best for: Oily skin, combination skin, blemish-prone skin, excess sebum, clogged-feeling pores, visible buildup, blackhead-prone areas, rough-feeling texture, and shiny T-zones
Skin type fit: Best suited to oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin. Normal skin may also use it when pores feel congested. Dry or sensitive-feeling skin should begin slowly and monitor for tightness.

What to expect

Texture: Soft, lightweight gel cleanser
Lather: Light, gentle foam
Finish: Fresh, clean, smooth, and non-greasy
Scent: Herbal scent from rosemary leaf oil and botanical extracts
Routine step: Water-based facial cleanser
Use: Morning or evening based on skin tolerance

How to use

  1. Wet your face and hands with lukewarm water.
  2. Dispense a moderate amount into your palms.
  3. Add water and work the gel into a light foam.
  4. Gently massage over the face, focusing on oily or buildup-prone areas.
  5. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
  6. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  7. Follow with toner, serum, and moisturizer.
  8. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

Suggested frequency: Use once or twice daily based on your skin’s tolerance. Begin once daily or several times weekly if you are new to salicylic acid or prone to dryness.

Tip: Let the cleanser do the work. Massage gently with fingertips rather than using a cleansing brush or aggressive scrubbing.
