Details

  • Cleanser: A hydrating, non-stripping jelly-to-foam cleanser that’s gentle on acne-prone and sensitive skin. It melts away makeup, excess oil, and SPF—giving you clean, fresh skin without that tight, dry feeling.
  • Serum: A gentle, multi-acid serum that goes deep into pores to clear blemishes, while gently exfoliating the surface of the skin to reveal a smooth, glowy, and more even complexion.

Use the cleanser morning and night on damp skin, massaging for 30 seconds before rinsing. Follow with 1–2 pumps of the serum on clean, dry skin to gently exfoliate and help keep pores clear. Always follow with an acne-safe moisturizer in the PM and an acne-safe SPF in the AM.

*We don’t use any potential pore-clogging or Malassezia folliculitis (fungal acne) triggering ingredients.

Key Questions

  • Yes! In fact 97% of users agree the cleanser effectively removes daily makeup and SPF.
  • Nope—and that’s intentional. We left out acne actives like salicylic acid and benzoyl peroxide for two reasons: (1) If you're already using acne treatments in your routine, doubling up can compromise your barrier. (2) Leave-on products work better for acne actives—a cleanser is only on your skin for a few seconds, so any benefits would wash away before they can do their job.
  • Yes! This cleanser is ophthalmologist-tested and safe for the eye area. Just be sure to avoid getting the product directly in your eyes.
  • We recommend using it morning and night. But if you’re acne-prone or have a compromised skin barrier, consider skipping your morning cleanse to avoid over-drying. A splash of lukewarm water is all you need :)
  • Since this is a multi-acid formula, we don't recommend using other strong actives like retinol, benzoyl peroxide, glycolic acid, or lactic acid at the same time to minimize the risk of irritation.
  • Yes! This serum has been clinically tested and shown to be safe for sensitive, acne-prone skin. The formula is powered by 12% humectants to boost hydration and help counteract dryness and sensitivity from exfoliation. It also contains calming ingredients to ensure that acne-prone and sensitive skin can benefit from its potent formula without irritation.
  • If you’re new to exfoliating, you might experience a purge—meaning you may see small pimples and bumps appear. This is completely normal! Salicylic acid works by diving deep into pores and bringing underlying buildup to the surface. This phase can last a few weeks, so stick with it and continue to slowly incorporate it into your routine.
  • If you’re new to exfoliating, start slow—just a few times a week—and build up to daily use as your skin adjusts. You can use this serum in the AM or PM, but if you’re applying it in the morning, always follow with SPF.

    What Is Salicylic Acid and Why It Belongs in Your Skincare Routine

    Let’s talk about one of the most proven, go-to ingredients in the acne world: salicylic acid. Technically, it’s a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) — aka an oil-soluble chemical exfoliant that goes deep into pores to clear out dead skin cells and excess oil. Translation? It’s a total MVP for unclogging skin and calming breakouts before they blow up.
