PRODUCT INFORMATION

Most face washes clean the surface. This one cleans the source. /PHD/ 2% Salicylic Acid Gel Cleanser is formulated with Lactic Acid, Mandelic Acid, Niacinamide, Zinc, and Allantoin to dissolve oil buildup inside pores, clear blackheads and breakouts, refine texture, and fade post-acne marks — all without stripping your barrier. Fragrance-free and dermatologically tested. The result? Skin that's genuinely clean, calm, and oil-controlled.

Do's
  • Use once daily to start, building up to AM and/or PM use as your skin adjusts.
  • Apply on wet skin and massage in gentle, circular motions.
  • Rinse well with lukewarm water and pat dry.
  • Follow with a moisturizer.
  • Apply broad-spectrum SPF 50+ during the day.
  • Patch test first, especially if you have sensitive skin.
Don't
  • Don't over-wash – more than twice a day can strip your skin barrier.
  • Don't use hot water – it can lead to dryness and irritation.
  • Don't scrub harshly – aggressive rubbing causes microtears and barrier damage.
  • Don't skip the patch test – especially if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

It is a scientifically formulated active-ingredient cleanser. The triple-acid system (Salicylic + Lactic + Mandelic) combined with Niacinamide and Zinc PCA targets acne, excess oil, pore congestion, and surface dullness.

Yes. The acid concentrations 2% Salicylic, 0.5% Lactic, 0.5% Mandelic are calibrated for daily use. Mandelic Acid is specifically included for its gentler, lower-irritation profile. However, if you are new to acid cleansers, begin with once-daily use and observe your skin's response.

No. 2% Salicylic Acid in a face wash is a dermatologist-approved concentration for exfoliation, oil control, and acne prevention.

No. The base is formulated with gentle, skin-compatible surfactants that cleanse without harsh stripping. Allantoin further helps maintain moisture balance, leaving skin clean and comfortable, not tight or dry.

This product is formulated for oily, combination and acne prone skin types. If you have sensitive skin, perform a 24-hour patch test before full facial use. Discontinue if you experience persistent redness, stinging, or discomfort.

With consistent daily use, improvement in oil control and skin clarity is typically noticeable within 1–2 weeks. Reduction in blackheads and skin texture may be visible within 3–4 weeks. Results depend on individual skin type and overall skincare routine.

It is best to consult your dermatologist/doctor before use during pregnancy.
