It contains 2% salicylic acid, which is a common ingredient that helps to clear pimples and blackheads by gently exfoliating the skin and unclogging pores. Additionally, it includes niacinamide, known for its soothing properties, making this product suitable for those looking to manage acne effectively.

This fragrance-free cleanser is dermatologist tested and aims to provide a clear action science approach to fighting acne, helping you achieve healthier-looking skin. With a volume of 8 fl oz (237 ml), it is a convenient option for your daily skincare routine.

Uses

If you're dealing with acne, this medication can help you manage and treat your condition effectively.

Additionally, there are no nonteratogenic effects reported, ensuring a focus on its intended use without unexpected complications.

Dosage and Administration

To keep your skin fresh and clean, you should cleanse your face twice a day. Start by wetting your face with water. Then, take a small amount of the cleanser and apply it to your hands. Add a little more water to your hands and work the cleanser into a lather.
