Most acne cleansers leave your face tight and flaky by noon. This one clears pores with salicylic acid while aloe and lactic acid keep your skin calm and hydrated, so you can wash twice a day…

Deep pore cleansing with gentle exfoliation—zero pores, clear skin

Solves
  • Clogged pores
  • Acne and breakouts
  • Dry skin after cleansing
  • Uneven skin texture

Clogged Pores Meet Their Match, Without the Dryness

You've stripped your skin raw chasing clear pores, only to end up tight, flaky, and still breaking out. This foam cleanser unclogs with salicylic acid and calms with aloe, so skin feels clean, not stripped.

Built For Oily, Breakout-Prone Skin

Salicylic Acid That Actually Unclogs

At 0.2%, salicylic acid penetrates oil-clogged pores to clear debris at the source, not just on the surface. It targets the congestion that leads to breakouts while keeping the surrounding skin calm.

Side-by-side of woman and four numbered benefits: fine foam, soothing, strong cleaning, hydration

AHA + PHA For Smoother Texture

Dual acid exfoliation lifts dead skin buildup that dulls texture and clogs pores, without the harsh scrubbing of physical exfoliants. The result is skin that feels noticeably smoother after just a week.

Aloe And Lactic Acid Calm While It Works

Aloe extract and lactic acid offset the drying effect typical of acne treatments. They support your skin's natural moisture balance, so your face never feels tight or stripped — just clean and comfortable.

A Foam Built For Daily Use

Fine foam texture rinses clean without residue, making twice-daily use realistic without over-stripping. It's designed to fit into your routine — not feel like a chore.

How To Use It Morning And Night

  1. 1
    Wet Your Face

    Start with lukewarm water. Avoid hot water, which can strip your skin's oils and aggravate acne.

  2. 2
    Dispense A Small Pump

    Press the ribbed cap to release a single pump of foam. A little goes a long way — the fine texture spreads easily.

  3. 3
    Massage In Circular Motions

    Gently work the foam over your T-zone, cheeks, and jawline for about 30 seconds. Focus on areas where you feel congestion or oil.

  4. 4
    Rinse Thoroughly

    Splash with lukewarm water until all foam is gone. Pat dry with a clean towel — don't rub.

  5. 5
    Follow With Moisturizer

    Even oily skin needs hydration. Apply a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer right after to lock in the soothing benefits and keep your barrier strong.

From Stripped to Clear

  1. 1
    The Wash-And-Dry Cycle

    Every morning you lather up with whatever is in the cupboard, scrubbing until it squeaks. By noon your cheeks pull tight, but the midday shine still comes. Breakouts keep showing up, and you wonder if clean skin is even possible without the dryness.

  2. 2
    What Over-Cleansing Costs You

    Stripping away your skin's natural oils every day forces it to overcompensate. The barrier weakens, oil production surges, and acne gets a free pass. The more you try to scrub it away, the deeper the cycle digs.

  3. 3
    A Formula Built To Do Both

    We built a cleanser that treats acne and respects your barrier. Salicylic acid goes deep into pores to dissolve buildup, while AHA and PHA gently lift dead skin from the surface. Aloe and lactic acid keep the process calm, so your skin stays comfortable throughout.

  4. 4
    Clearer Skin, Comfortable Face

    Twice a day, a single pump of fine foam. No sting, no tightness. Within weeks the congestion around your nose and chin starts to ease, and your skin feels smooth, calm, and definitively clean — for the first time, without the trade-off.

Your Skin's First Eight Weeks

  1. First use
    Clean feel, no tightness

    Skin rinses clean and soft, without the usual post-wash tightness. You'll notice the foam feels light, not stripping.

  2. Week 1
    Fewer new breakouts

    With daily use, salicylic acid starts clearing pores. Your skin may feel less congested and show fewer whiteheads.

  3. Week 4
    Smoother texture

    AHA/PHA exfoliation reveals itself — rough patches around the nose, chin, and forehead begin to feel noticeably smoother.

  4. Week 8
    Clearer, calmer complexion

    Consistent use should show visibly clearer pores and a more even, hydrated-looking complexion versus your starting point.

Questions and answers

Is 0.2% salicylic acid strong enough to actually clear acne?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. 0.2% is a moderate concentration that effectively unclogs pores without excessive irritation. It's designed for daily use, so the effect builds over weeks as the acid consistently clears debris from inside the pore. Many higher-percentage washes can't be used every day without damaging the barrier, which often worsens acne. This formula balances efficacy with tolerance so you can use it consistently.

Will this dry out or irritate sensitive, already-reactive skin?
w
Wanelo · seller

It's formulated to avoid that. The inclusion of aloe extract and lactic acid helps maintain hydration and soothe the skin during cleansing. Unlike harsh acne soaps, it doesn't strip your natural oils. However, if you have extremely sensitive skin or a compromised barrier, start with once-daily use and monitor. It's fragrance-free and pH-balanced to minimize reactivity.

Can I use this alongside other acne treatments like benzoyl peroxide or retinol?
w
Wanelo · seller

You can, but with caution. Since this cleanser already contains exfoliating acids (AHA/PHA), adding a leave-on treatment on the same night may over-exfoliate. We recommend alternating evenings or using this cleanser in the morning and your other active at night. Always follow with a good moisturizer and sunscreen during the day.

Is this cleanser suitable for teens with active breakouts?
w
Wanelo · seller

Yes. The formula was developed with young, acne-prone skin in mind. It's gentle enough for daily use and doesn't contain harsh detergents that can irritate adolescent skin. The fine foam texture is easy to use and rinses completely, so it fits into a simple AM/PM routine.

How is this different from the foaming acne washes at the drugstore?
w
Wanelo · seller

Most drugstore acne foams rely heavily on detergents and high-percentage actives that may dry out skin rapidly. This one pairs 0.2% salicylic acid with AHA, PHA, aloe, and lactic acid — a multi-acid approach that clears pores while actively comforting the skin. It also skips the sulfates and harsh fragrances that can trigger rebound oil. The result is clean skin that doesn't feel tight or look red after washing.

How long does one 4oz tube last with daily use?
w
Wanelo · seller

With twice-daily use (a small pump each time), one tube lasts approximately 6–8 weeks for most people. Since a single pump produces enough fine foam to cover the entire face, you don't need much. Considering the gentle formula allows daily use without irritation, you're getting a full two-month supply in one tube — quite cost-effective compared to treatment sets or professional peels.
