The first step in your skincare routine: cleansing
A foaming cleanser is where every skincare routine begins. Only when your skin is thoroughly cleansed can the next steps—toner, essence, and cream—absorb properly. On makeup days, use a cleansing oil first, then follow with this cleanser as your second cleanse to clear away any residue left deep in your pores.
Gentle pH-balanced formula for daily use, morning and night
With a mildly acidic pH of 5.5–6.5, this cleanser is safe to use twice a day. In the morning, it removes sebum produced overnight. In the evening, it washes away sunscreen and fine dust. Despite containing 0.5% salicylic acid, it has completed low-irritation testing and is gentle enough for sensitive skin to use every day.
Massage gently with rich, cushiony foam
Wet your hands, dispense an appropriate amount, and work into a full lather. Formulated with French blue clay, it creates a dense, cushiony foam. Massage gently over your entire face in circular motions for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
Recommended routine pairings by skin type
- Oily and combination skin: After cleansing, follow with a lightweight toner, and use a BHA toner 2–3 times a week to help target pores
- Acne-prone skin: This product has completed non-comedogenic testing, so it's safe for acne-prone skin
- Blackhead-prone skin: For better results, pair with a blackhead-targeting softener 1–2 times a week
What to know when using salicylic acid products
Salicylic acid (BHA) helps dissolve buildup inside pores. At 0.5%, the concentration is low enough for daily use, but if your skin feels dry, adjust how often you use it. Using it on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating products may cause irritation, so it's best to separate them by time of day. If you experience redness or discomfort, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist.
