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 - 3 months 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 - 3 months 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.

    Dont buy

    DO NOT BUY!!! I am someone who has never suffered from acne or breakouts of any sort. I purchased this item thinking it would help my dry skin, unfortunately it did the complete opposite. I used this cleanser for about a month and was the only thing I changed in my skin care routine, I started noticing these little pimples around my chin and forehead maybe 2 weeks into using this product. I continued to use it thinking it was my skin adjusting to the new product. A month into using this face wash my face broke out so bad with fungal acne. It’s been about a week that i stopped using this product and my acne inflammation is starting to go down by the day. Save your money and do not purchase this product!!

    Outstanding facial wash!! A must buy in the future

    Outstanding facial wash!! This product really cleanses my skin and leaves it clean and healthy looking. It also helped minimize my pores from being clogged and open.

    Excellent, glycerin-based formula.

    I love this but wish it removed eye makeup better. Glycerin is a winner for my skin. And salicylic acid works great as a gentle exfoliant for me.

    Great at removing makeup and gentle cleanser

    I really like this as a face cleanser. I have only been using it for a few days, and I haven't noticed any improvement in my clogged sebaceous filaments yet, but this does a great job at removing makeup and making my skin feel clean but not stripped. It is also gentle around the eyes in my experience. You also get a LOT of product. I use a dime-sized amount for each wash of my face and neck.

    Excellent quality product and results. As personal preference it would be awesome if it could develop more foam.

    This gave me perioral and periorbital dermatitis ! I used it for a year with no issues and then I combined this with Prequel oil pre cleanser about a month ago and noticed the rash. I went on a trip for a week and used my husbands face wash and the rashes were so much better. Came back a few days ago and started using this again and the rashes came back immediately. Have to go see a dermatologist now.

    Horrible!

    Literally burnt my face. I used it 3 times and each time I used it I was like hmm something is off, why is my skin burning. I chalked it up to something else. Nope. Just used it for a 3rd time and I’m heading to the Emergrcny room. The skin is peeling off my face and I’m in SO much pain. I’d sue them if I had the money to do so!

    Gave me contact dermatitis. My eye was so swollen and itchy. Had to see a doctor and now am taking pills to get rid of it. DON’T BUY if you have sensitive skin.

    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!

    Leaves skin soft but DO NOT use near eyes

    This is a decent non drying, non foaming daily cleanser that left my skin hydrated yet feeling clean. With that being said I will NOT purchase again due to the damage it has done to my eyes. For the past few months my eyes would tear horribly when walking outside (figured it was just the cold and wind)- until I went for my annual eye exam and my eye doctor mentioned significant dry patches on my eyeballs. This has never happened before and I realized after much pondering that the watery eye issue started when I began using this product. And it is very slowly improving since getting rid of the gleanser and using medicated eye drops. Hoping the eye medication I was given will fix the problem eventually and this damage isn’t permanent. As a body cleanser it’s fine but keep away from the face is my advice

    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.
