How to use

Work a pea-sized amount into a lather in wet hands. Apply to dampened face and neck, massaging in circular motions on congested or oily areas. Avoid the eye area and rinse thoroughly with warm water.

Pros
  • 0.5% salicylic acid foaming wash that clears excess oil and helps prevent breakouts
  • Soothing botanicals to calm irritation
  • Gentle enough for daily use without stripping, per the brand
Cons
  • $49 for 8.4 oz, pricey for a cleanser
  • Some users note it foams less than Dermalogica's Special Cleansing Gel
  • Salicylic acid can dry sensitive skin
