Q: How do I introduce this cleanser if I use azelaic acid 15% everyday in the morning, tretinoin 3 nights a week and the prequel sulfur cleanser 3 times per week on different nights?

submitted by Ahjy - 11 days ago
  • A: We would recommend using one or two nights a week when you're not using your Tretinoin. Patch test first and listen to your skin. If you experience increased skin sensitivity, use less frequently. Remember to wear your sunscreen during the day.

Q: What is the difference between the white cap and this?

submitted by Concern - 24 days ago
  • A: Our best-selling Gleanser, named for its high glycerin content, is a non-drying gel formulated for both face and body. It effectively removes impurities, including pollution, makeup, and sunscreen, while providing 24-hour hydration. With our new Gleanser + SA (Salicylic Acid), we’ve enhanced the formula to help address excess sebum and oilier skin, while offering gentle exfoliation for those looking to elevate their cleansing routine. It maintains the same plush, slippy texture that users love in our original Gleanser.

    Would not buy again - Vinegar smell, drying, film on skin

    I wanted to like this cleaner and found it treated my acne really well. Also removed makeup and spf thoroughly. However, the vinegar smell that it has due to the natural scenting of ingredients has become too strong. I also feel like it has left a film on my skin/dried it out excessively. I used for a few months in hopes my skin would adjust and be less dry, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case. I’m sad I have half of a product I can’t use now. If you can get by the vinegar smell and drying aspect, it treats acne great!

    Not as expected but willing to try again!

    Heard great reviews, but made my skin really sensitive. Also, did not lather a lot (I love cleanser that lather, maybe because of my oily skin). Will maybe try the original with no salicylic

    Terrible!

    Horrible slimy cleanser. Surprised this stuff is formulated by an MD- its terrible. I feel like I made my skin greasier/dirtier in the shower. Leaves a greasy film on your face and on bathroom tiles. Stuck with a large bottle, huge regret. Smells bad too- add some fragrance!

    Not ideal for oily skin. The product felt heavy on my face and didn’t seem compatible with my skin type. The top also broke easily, which caused the pump to stop working.

    not for oily girlies

    I wanted to like this, and it feels good when I wash my face initially. But every moment after I feel like I have an oily film on my skin. Back to cerave for me. Also, the bottle came with a broken pump- beware if you order via shipping.

    Perfect for me and my son.

    I used this when I visited my cousin in New York and I ordered it when I came back here in Canada. Too bad it does not ship directly to Canada.

    I love this cleanser! It is non stripping on the skin but provides a thorough clean, especially when double cleansing. I have oily but very sensitive skin that throws a fit anytime I change my routine so I started by only using this at night until I was sure my barrier could handle twice a day (took about a week but I had no purging). I am now on week 3 and I am happy to report that my dark pores in my T-zone are shrinking and my overall tecture is improving which were my goals with this product. Given the great price for such a large container I often use it on my body too. It has really helped my persistent body acne while also being moisturizing. I gave four stars instead of five becuase the glycerine does leave a bit of a film on the skin. I don't mind it because that is when it is supposed to do but people who expect their skin to feel squeeky clean after clensing might not like this aspect of the cleanser.

    Shipping issue or faulty cap?

    I’m not sure if this is a shipping issue or a product packaging/faulty cap issue; but I received a replacement from the first one having a completely shattered cap, (which I am thankful for) but now this one came with product spilling out all over the top. I’m hoping the product is good, because this is disappointing.

    Great for body, too!

    I had purchased this to use for my facial cleanser. During the colder months, I decided to switch from aveeno and use this as my body wash since it contains the glycerin that's better for holding moisture. Wow! I haven't needed to use lotion after my shower on most days, although I always apply it after my evening shower for good measure.

    great daily cleanser

    great daily cleanser, like the salicylic acid component in the solution, suds up nice and skin not too dry after rinsing like most salicylic washes.
