Minimalist
Salicylic Acid + LHA 2% Face Cleanser
Best forOily skin with blackheads and enlarged pores
A 2% blend of salicylic acid and LHA — a gentler, slower-acting cousin of salicylic acid — that dissolves oil inside pores. Zinc PCA helps control sebum, while oat extract and panthenol keep the formula from feeling harsh.
Key ingredients breakdown
- Salicylic Acid (BHA)2%
Salicylic acid and LHA (2% combined) dissolve oil inside pores; LHA works more slowly for less irritation.
- Zinc (PCA / Gluconate)
Zinc PCA helps regulate oil and has antibacterial benefits.
- Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)
Hydrates and soothes skin and hair; improves elasticity and shine.
Why we like it
- Proven 2% BHA for clogged pores
- Oil control from zinc
- Very good value
Keep in mind
- Can dry out skin if overused
- Not for very dry or reactive skin
How to useMassage onto wet skin for 30–60 seconds and rinse. Start once a day, then go up to twice daily if your skin is comfortable.
