Clear skin starts with the right cleanse. This acne-fighting double cleanse duo delivers proven results for breakout-prone skin, combining our award-winning Oat Cleansing Balm with our targeted Salicylic Acid Cleanser.


Step 1: Oat Cleansing Balm - Your gentle yet powerful makeup-melting hero. This Allure award-winner effortlessly dissolves all traces of makeup (including waterproof mascara), sunscreen, and daily impurities. The nourishing oat formula cleanses deeply while protecting your skin barrier - essential for acne-prone skin that needs gentle care.


Step 2: Salicylic Acid Cleanser - Your acne-targeting treatment cleanser. Formulated with 2% salicylic acid, this daily cleanser penetrates pores to clear blackheads, reduce breakouts, and control excess oil production. Clinical results show visible improvement in skin clarity from first use.


The Science Behind Double Cleansing for Acne: Research proves double cleansing removes 3x more impurities than single cleansing alone. For acne-prone skin, this thorough approach prevents pore-clogging buildup that leads to breakouts, while the targeted second cleanse treats existing blemishes and prevents new ones.


Clinically proven benefits: Reduced breakout frequency, clearer-looking skin, minimized blackheads, balanced oil production

Suitable for:

  • Oily Skin
  • Combination Skin
  • Normal Skin
  • Teenagers

Targets:

  • Breakouts & Blemishes
  • Excess Oil
  • Blackheads

What is Double Cleansing for Acne-Prone Skin?

Double cleansing for acne is a clinically-proven two-step method that ensures complete removal of acne-triggering impurities while providing targeted acne treatment. This approach is especially crucial for acne-prone skin, which requires thorough cleansing without over-drying or compromising the skin barrier.

Why Double Cleanse for Acne Prevention?

Step 1 (Oil-based): Oat Cleansing Balm dissolves makeup, sunscreen, excess sebum, and oil-based pollutants that can clog pores and trigger acne. The gentle, award-winning oat extract reduces inflammation while the balm texture melts on contact for complete removal of acne-causing impurities.

Step 2 (Acne-treatment): Salicylic Acid Cleanser removes sweat, acne-causing bacteria, and remaining residue while providing targeted acne treatment. The clinically-proven 2% salicylic acid penetrates deep into pores to clear existing blackheads and prevent new acne breakouts from forming.

Perfect Double Cleanse Technique for Acne Prevention
Start completely dry: Apply Oat Cleansing Balm to dry skin and dry hands
Massage thoroughly: Work in circular motions for 60+ seconds, focusing on makeup and sunscreen removal
Emulsify gradually: Add small amounts of water to turn the balm milky white
Rinse completely: Remove all traces with lukewarm water
Follow with acne treatment: Apply Salicylic Acid Cleanser to damp skin
Target acne-prone areas: Focus extra attention on acne zones (T-zone, chin, jawline)
Final rinse and assess: Your skin should feel clean and refreshed, never tight or stripped

When to Double Cleanse for Acne Prevention
Evening routine: Essential after wearing makeup or sunscreen
Post-workout: Critical for removing sweat and sebum that can trigger acne
After long days: Perfect for removing city pollution and daily acne-triggering impurities
Acne prevention: Consistent nightly use prevents the pore-clogging buildup that causes acne

The Clinical Science Behind Acne Prevention Research shows this method removes up to 3x more acne-causing impurities than single cleansing alone. The gentle first cleanse prevents over-scrubbing that can worsen acne, while the targeted second cleanse treats existing acne and prevents new breakouts without disrupting your skin's protective barrier.

Transform your acne-fighting routine and discover the dermatologist-approved secret to clearer, healthier-looking skin with targeted double cleansing for acne prevention.

    Not for me

    I bought these to use the double cleansing method. I used the oat one first, then the salicylic acid one. I didn't see any reduction in breakouts with using them, and my skin felt more oily the next day, but also with dry red patches as well. I now use a different cleanser, and the oat balm has been relegated to an eye make up remover, which it does well. I don't think I'll be able to repurpose the salicylic acid cleanser. As a tip, I would put the oat balm on the radiator for a few minutes. My house is cold, and it was too hard to squeeze out otherwise. Similar products to this are in a tub, but that makes them less hygienic. Other people have commented that the packaging isn't great, but I don't know how to improve it, other than maybe an airless pump. I would recommend to people who don't have crazy oily skin like me. Won't be repurchasing the salicylic acid. Might buy the oat one for my eye make up, if I can decant it into something else.

    Game changer!

    The oat cleansing balm is an absolute game changer: yes the texture may feel weird at first but it definitely leaves your skin clean off make up and soft!
