A solid acne-oriented facial cleanser with a balanced surfactant system and supportive sebum-control ingredients, but the fragranced formula makes it less ideal for very sensitive skin.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Panthenol, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate
Whether it can reduce excess sebum, shine, or greasiness — absorbents, sebum-regulating ingredients, and some acne actives.
From Zinc PCA, Niacinamide, Copper PCA, Citric Acid
Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.
From Niacinamide, Potassium Azeloyl Diglycinate, Citric Acid, Ascorbyl Palmitate
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Fragrance, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Citric Acid
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Fragrance, Citric Acid, Chlorhexidine Digluconate, Sodium Salicylate
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
From Citric Acid
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.
From Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Citric Acid
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
From Citric Acid, Sodium Chloride, Fragrance
GOOD · 16
NEUTRAL · 21
A facial cleansing gel for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin that combines gentle surfactants with sebum-supporting, soothing, and acne-focused ingredients. It should cleanse without being overly harsh for many users, but the fragrance and multiple actives may make it less suitable for very sensitive or dry skin.
