About this product

The Inkey List Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a non-drying exfoliating gel cleanser that removes dirt, impurities and excess oil while helping to unclog pores and reduce the appearance of imperfections. Salicylic acid supports exfoliation, while a zinc compound helps minimize surface oil and allantoin helps soothe and comfort skin.

How to use

Use morning and evening. Gently massage a raspberry-sized amount onto damp skin for 60 seconds. Add warm water to emulsify, work it in, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with hydrator, treatments, and moisturizer; finish with SPF in the morning. It can also be used on blemish-prone areas such as the back and chest. Patch testing is recommended when adding it to your routine. Avoid the eyes. For external use only. Keep out of reach of children. Store in a cool, dry place at 15–25°C, away from direct sunlight.
