How it works

A wash-off step has seconds on the skin, so a cleanser with an acid in it is a light daily pass rather than the exfoliating step in a routine. That is the job here: first step, morning and evening, worked into a lather in wet hands before it touches the face. It suits skin that looks congested across the nose and chin and does not get on with a harsh weekly scrub. Rinse with lukewarm water and go straight on to toner while the face is still damp. Keep any leave-on acid as its own separate step, because a rinse-off and a leave-on are doing different amounts of work.

Key benefits

  • Salicylic acid is on the list for a gentle, daily-use BHA cleanse.
  • Tea tree leaf oil sits alongside willow bark water further down the list.
  • A potassium-soap base of myristic and stearic acids builds a creamy lather.
  • Formulated for daily use rather than a targeted spot treatment.

How to use

  1. Use the Salicylic Acid Daily Gentle Cleanser as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water.
  2. A coin-sized amount, worked into a lather between wet palms for twenty seconds, then massaged over the face in small circles.
  3. Rinse with lukewarm water and go straight to your toner while skin is still damp, then serum and moisturizer as usual.
  4. Twice a day is the ceiling. Do not use it on the same evening as a leave-on acid or a retinoid, and do not stretch the massage past a minute.

Worth knowing

  • This formula carries an active acid, so pairing it with another exfoliant in the same routine is worth spacing out.
