Details
A daily clarifying gel cleanser for oily, congested, and breakout-prone skin. It pairs pharmaceutical-grade salicylic acid with soothing barrier actives and gentle amino-acid cleansers, clearing pores deeply while keeping skin calm, clear, and comfortable.
- Bioavailable pore clearing: Salicylic Acid at 1.0% dissolves oil and cellular debris trapped deep inside pores. Formulated at active pH 3.90, where exactly 10% exists as active free acid ready to work.
- Non-drying carrier: Carried in plant-derived propanediol (5.0%) rather than cheap denatured alcohol, dissolving the acid cleanly without drying skin or triggering rebound oiliness.
- Gentle amino-acid cleansing: Cleanses with mild coconut-derived taurate and betaine at 8.5% active matter, creating a soft lather that degreases thoroughly without stripping barrier lipids.
- Soothing and pore-refining: Enriched with Niacinamide (1.5%) to balance midday shine and refine pore appearance, Provitamin B5 (Panthenol 1.0%) for hydration, and Green Tea extract (0.5%) for antioxidant calming.
- Zero sensory cheats: No menthol and no camphor, so there is no fake cold burn or stinging sensation masquerading as cleanliness.
- How to use: Work one pump (about 1.5 ml) into a lather, massage over damp face for 30 to 60 seconds (focusing on the T-zone), then rinse with cool or lukewarm water. Start once daily at night; build to twice daily as skin tolerates.
- The right cleanser for you: Ideal for oily or blemish-prone skin. If your skin is normal or combination, choose the Gentle Daily Face Wash; if dry or sensitive, use the Cream Face Wash instead.
- Packaging: Heavy flint glass bottle with a 1.5 ml lockable lotion pump that delivers a metered single wash, in an unlaminated white-top kraft carton.

- 62.35 percent, purified to IP grade; conductivity under 1.3 microsiemens per cm
- Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate (Coconut amino-acid cleanser)
- 10.0 percent as supplied (30 percent active paste, so 3.0 percent active surfactant); mild coconut amino-acid cleanser, completely resistant to acid breakdown at pH 3.90
- Cocamidopropyl Betaine (Coconut-derived cleanser)
- 8.0 percent as supplied (30 percent active, so 2.4 percent active surfactant); buffers the surfactant system, stabilizes lather, and cushions skin

- Propanediol (Corn-derived hydrator)
- 5.0 percent; bio-fermented 1,3-propanediol (Zemea), dissolves salicylic acid cleanly without drying alcohol
- Glycerin (Vegetable)
- 3.0 percent; vegetable humectant that prevents post-wash tightness
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
- 1.5 percent; pure Vitamin B3 (<100 ppm nicotinic acid), regulates sebum, refines pore appearance, and calms redness
- Salicylic Acid (Wintergreen / willow bark BHA)
- 1.0 percent total; oil-soluble BHA active. At formula pH 3.90, the bioavailable free-acid fraction is 10.5 percent (stated on pack as 10 percent)
- Panthenol (Provitamin B5)
- 1.0 percent; Provitamin B5, preserves barrier hydration and calms irritation
- The 1 percent line
- Falls immediately after Panthenol. All sixteen ingredients sum to 100.00 percent
- Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract (Green tea extract)
- 0.5 percent; real green tea leaf extract providing antioxidant polyphenols
- Phenoxyethanol (Gentle preservative)
- 0.5 percent; anti-bacterial preservative, well under the 1.0 percent regulatory ceiling
- Sodium Benzoate (Food-grade preservative)

What is left out, and what took its place
- Alcohol denat
- None. Bio-based propanediol 5.0 percent dissolves the acid instead. Cheap denatured alcohol dries oily skin and triggers rebound sebum production
- Menthol and camphor
- Neither. A cooling sting is a sensory trick, not a cleansing action, and on congested skin it is an added irritant
- Sulphates & harsh cleansers
- Zero SLS, zero SLES, zero laureth sulfosuccinate. Replaced by mild sodium methyl cocoyl taurate, betaine, and coco-glucoside
- Parabens & isothiazolinones
- No parabens, and no MIT or CMIT. Replaced by Sodium Benzoate 0.45 percent, Phenoxyethanol 0.5 percent, and Ethylhexylglycerin 0.1 percent
- Fragrance & allergens
- None. Zero parfum, zero essential oils, and zero masking fragrance; screened for all 26 declarable fragrance allergens
- Abrasive scrub particles
- None. Zero plastic microbeads and zero crushed walnut shells that cause micro-tears in skin
- Second acid
- None. No glycolic, lactic or fruit acids stacked on top. One lipophilic pore-clearing acid is the whole design
