Product Information

Full details

The INKEY List 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a targeted facial wash designed for individuals with oily, combination, or blemish-prone skin who want to deep-clean pores and manage breakouts. By utilizing a blend of 2% salicylic acid for exfoliation and zinc PCA for oil control, it effectively clears congestion while keeping the skin balanced; however, those with extremely sensitive or dry skin should patch test first to ensure the active ingredients do not cause irritation.

FAQs

Can I use this cleanser every day?

Yes, it is formulated for daily use in both morning and evening routines, provided your skin tolerates the active ingredients well.

Is this safe for sensitive skin?

While it is fragrance-free and contains soothing allantoin, salicylic acid can be drying. We recommend a patch test before regular use.

Does it remove waterproof makeup?

It is effective for daily impurities, but we recommend using a dedicated makeup remover or cleansing balm first for heavy or waterproof makeup.

Can I use this with other active ingredients?

It is best to avoid using this simultaneously with other strong acids or retinoids to prevent irritation. Consider alternating them.

Is this product vegan?

Yes, The INKEY List 2% Salicylic Acid Cleanser is 100% vegan and cruelty-free.

How long should I leave the cleanser on my skin?

Massage it into the skin for approximately 60 seconds to allow the salicylic acid to work effectively before rinsing.

Troubleshooting

Skin feels tight after washing

Reduce usage to once per day, preferably in the evening, and ensure you follow up with a hydrating moisturizer immediately.

Increased breakouts after starting use

This may be 'purging,' where the salicylic acid accelerates the cell turnover process. Continue use for 2-4 weeks; if irritation persists, consult a dermatologist.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To begin using the cleanser, start by wetting your face with lukewarm water. Apply a small amount of the product to your palms, lather, and massage gently onto the skin. Rinse thoroughly with water. It is compatible with most non-active serums and moisturizers; however, avoid using it alongside high-strength retinoids or other exfoliating acids (like AHAs or BHAs) in the same session to prevent over-exfoliation. Store the bottle in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Always replace the cap securely after use to maintain the integrity of the formula. If you are introducing this to a routine that includes other chemical exfoliants, start by using it every other day to assess your skin's tolerance.
