How to use

1. Wet face with lukewarm water.
2. Take a small amount of face wash and gently massage onto damp skin for 30–60 seconds, avoiding the eye area.
3. Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry with a soft towel.
4. Follow with toner/serum, moisturizer and sunscreen in the morning.

Start with once daily use. If skin tolerates well, you may gradually increase to twice daily, depending on your skin’s needs and sensitivity.

Key Ingredients

• 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates into pores, helps dissolve excess sebum and dead skin, reduces blackheads/whiteheads and helps keep pores clear.
• 2% Niacinamide: Supports the skin barrier, helps reduce the look of acne marks and uneven tone, and contributes to a more balanced complexion.
• Cica Extract & Allantoin: Known for their soothing properties; help calm redness and irritation in acne-prone skin.
• Panthenol & Glycerin: Hydrating and conditioning agents that help maintain moisture and comfort while cleansing.
• Botanical Oils (Safflower & Olive): Light emollients that help keep skin from feeling overly dry after washing.

Texture & Feel

• Light, foaming gel-type texture.
• Leaves skin feeling clean, refreshed and less greasy without extreme tightness when used as directed.

How to layer in a routine

• Use as the first step after makeup removal (if you wear makeup).
• Follow with water-based serums (Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, etc.) and then moisturizer.
• If using strong actives (Retinol, strong exfoliating acids), alternate on different days or use cautiously to avoid over-exfoliation.
• Always pair with broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day.

FAQ

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
This face wash is formulated for acne-prone, oily and combination skin. If you have sensitive skin, introduce it slowly (a few times a week) and watch for any redness or stinging. Always patch test first.

Q: Can I use it every day?
Yes, many users can use it once or twice daily. However, because it contains Salicylic Acid (BHA), start with once a day or every other day and adjust based on how your skin responds.

Q: Can teenagers use this face wash?
It can be suitable for teenagers with acne-prone, oily or combination skin. As with all active products, patch test first and consider checking with a healthcare professional if the skin is very reactive or if there is severe acne.

Q: Do I still need other acne treatments?
This face wash helps with breakouts, clogged pores and marks, but many routines also benefit from a targeted treatment serum or cream prescribed or recommended for your specific acne type. Use this as the cleansing step within a complete routine.

Q: Can I use it with other exfoliating acids or scrubs?
It’s best to avoid layering too many exfoliants (scrubs, strong AHA/BHA peels, etc.) in the same routine to prevent irritation. If you use other exfoliating products, space them out on different days or as advised by your dermatologist.

Q: Is sunscreen necessary if I use this?
Yes. Any routine targeting acne and marks with exfoliating acids should include daily sunscreen, as exfoliation can make the skin more sensitive to UV damage and pigmentation.
