“Oily skin often leads to breakouts — something I know very well. This is the only cleanser that tackles both concerns without completely decimating my skin barrier. It contains alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) including lactic acid, which exfoliates the surface of the skin, and beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) — namely salicylic acid, which gets deep inside the pores and breaks up the paste-like combination of dirt, oil and dead skin cells that cause blackheads. It has a gentle foaming action, so it chips away at face grease, sunscreen and makeup. I use it in the evening, rather than the morning. If your skincare features any exfoliating acids, consider adding a high factor, broad spectrum SPF to your morning skincare routine, as they can make skin sensitive to sunlight.” — Jacqueline Kilikita, Deputy Beauty Director
