FAQs

HOW OFTEN SHOULD I USE THIS SALICYLIC ACID CLEANSER? Safe for daily AM and PM use as an acne treatment. If you're new to salicylic acid for acne, start with once daily, then gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance.

CAN I USE THIS CLEANSER EVERY DAY? Absolutely. This gentle 2% acne treatment formula is specifically designed for daily use on acne-prone and combination skin without over-drying or causing irritation.

DO I NEED ANOTHER CLEANSER AFTER? Nope. It’s effective on its own, but you can double cleanse if you want.

HOW DO I DOUBLE CLEANSE? Use Oat Cleansing Balm first to melt SPF/makeup, then follow with this oily skin cleanser, Salicylic Acid Cleanser.

CAN I USE IT LONG-TERM? Yes - safe for long-term, daily use.

IS THIS SUITABLE FOR SENSITIVE, ACNE/BLEMISH-PRONE SKIN? Yes, this gentle acne treatment includes soothing Allantoin to calm skin while effectively targeting acne. Start slowly if you have sensitive skin prone to breakouts.

CAN I USE IT ON MY BODY? Yes - great for body acne on chest, back, arms.

HOW DO I LAYER THIS WITH OTHER ACIDS? Use this acne treatment cleanser first in your routine, then follow with other acne-fighting treatments. The rinse-off formula minimizes interaction risks while still helping clean and reduce acne.

Excellent cleanser, but cap tends to leak
The cleanser itself is fantastic, doesn't dry the skin too much (expect when used before sauna, but that's expected).
Only issue is with the cap, which sometimes leaks if the bottle is not upright, making it bothersome to take anywhere.
