Continuous Treatment for Breakouts Well Beyond Rinse-Off

Details

The ultimate blemish gel cleanser that helps dissolve excess oil, purify pores, clear existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts. Formulated with two types of salicylic acid—a free form that starts treating immediately and an encapsulated form that continues treating even after rinsing. Green tea extract helps soothe and calm irritation for healthier-looking skin.

In a 3-day clinical study, 97% said it dissolves excess oil, 94% said it deeply cleanses skin, 88% said it improves skin’s overall appearance and 85% said it leaves pores feeling clean of impurities. Caution: Please be advised our maximum strength cleanser is for active breakouts and extreme oiliness so a patch test is advised. Frequency of use depends on the severity of breakouts and oil. If sensitivity occurs, reduce use to 2-3 times per week (or refrain from using daily). For further advice contact our customer services team.

DOCTOR'S NOTE

The salicylic acid in Clarifying Cleanser continues to treat well beyond your cleanse because we encapsulated it in spheres that adhere to skin to survive rinse off.
