How to use

Squeeze a suitable amount into your hand, foam it up and massage onto wet skin. Rinse with tepid water. The brand describes it as a daily cleanser and gives no set time.

Pros
  • Salicylic acid to loosen dead skin and clogged pores
  • Centella AC-Rx (madecassic acid, asiaticoside, asiatic acid) added for soothing, per the brand
  • Made for daily use on acne-prone and oily skin
Cons
  • The salicylic acid strength is not disclosed
  • A wash is rinsed off within seconds, so little acid reaches the skin
  • Ingredient list includes lavender oil, linalool and limonene, which can irritate some sensitive skin
