For best results, use twice daily: once in the morning and once in the evening, as the first step in your skincare routine.
Can I use this cleanser if I have sensitive skin?
The cleanser contains Salicylic Acid, which can be potent. While it includes soothing Green Tea extract, individuals with very sensitive skin should start by using it once a day or every other day and monitor for any signs of irritation. Always follow with a moisturizer.
What is the key active ingredient?
The key active ingredient is Salicylic Acid, which helps to reduce the severity of blemishes and prevent new ones.
Will this cleanser help with blackheads and whiteheads?
Yes, the Salicylic Acid helps to exfoliate and keep pores clear, which can be effective in treating and preventing blackheads and whiteheads.
What should I do after using this cleanser?
After cleansing and rinsing, follow with your regular treatment products (like serums or spot treatments) and then apply a moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Is this cleanser suitable for daily use?
Yes, it is formulated for daily use as part of a clearing skincare routine. However, pay attention to your skin's response, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Does it help with post-acne marks?
While its primary function is to treat and prevent active blemishes, by improving overall skin clarity and reducing inflammation, it can indirectly contribute to a better appearance of post-acne marks over time.
Troubleshooting
Cleanser causes dryness or irritation
Reduce frequency of use (e.g., once daily or every other day). Ensure you are rinsing thoroughly and follow immediately with a moisturizer suitable for your skin type. If irritation persists, discontinue use.
Product does not lather well
This is a gel cleanser and may not produce a heavy lather like traditional soaps. Ensure your hands are adequately wet before applying the cleanser to create a light foam. Focus on the cleansing action rather than lather.
Blemishes do not seem to be improving
Ensure consistent daily use as directed. Check if other products in your routine might be counteracting the effects. Consider consulting a dermatologist for persistent or severe acne concerns.
Product seems to sting upon application
This may be due to the active ingredients or very dry skin. Ensure skin is not already irritated or broken before application. If stinging is uncomfortable or persistent, rinse off immediately and consider a patch test on a small area.
