I like salicylic acid in a cleanser because there's a lower risk of overexfoliation since you can rinse it off.▶ 2:01–2:09
There's real clinical evidence showing that salicylic acid can still work in a cleanser as long as it's well formulated and stays on your skin long enough before rinsing.▶ 2:12–2:21
The texture of this cleanser is very lightweight. It's like a gel cream. It's not runny. It's not thick, and it doesn't foam aggressively.▶ 2:27–2:41
When you massage it on your skin, it feels smooth and cushiony, almost lotionlike, which makes it very gentle even though it contains salicylic acid.▶ 2:39–2:45
This one helps clear pores and reduce congestion while still supporting the skin barrier thanks to ceramides and niacinamide in it.▶ 2:51–3:00
What I love the most about this cleanser is that my skin feels clean and refreshed after using it. Never tight or stripped.▶ 3:00–3:06
This one is one of my OG.
There was a time that this was not available in my local drugstore. I've searched and searched and we couldn't find one. So, we literally crossed the border just to buy it.▶ 3:15–3:22
