Salicylic Acid 2% Face Wash

Salicylic Acid 2% Face Wash is a daily foaming cleanser built around the highest over-the-counter strength of salicylic acid, an oil-soluble beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates inside sebum-clogged pores to dissolve excess oil, dead skin cells, and the trapped debris behind blackheads, whiteheads, and active breakouts. The lathering format cleanses more deeply than gel cleansers and suits oily and acne-prone skin that needs daily active cleansing.

The formula pairs Salicylic Acid 2% with Benzoyl Peroxide to fight acne-causing bacteria, Zinc PCA for sebum control, Niacinamide for pore refinement, and D-Panthenol to prevent the dryness strong cleansers can cause. In Pakistan's heat and humidity it is the foundation step of any acne routine. Pair with the Salicylic Acid 2% Serum at night and always follow with the Vitamin B5 10% Moisturizer. Explore the full Salicylic Acid range.

Clears pores: Dissolves oil and debris inside the pore to reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and breakouts.

Controls oil: Zinc PCA and salicylic acid regulate sebum for a less shiny, more balanced complexion.

Barrier-kind: D-Panthenol offsets dryness so daily active cleansing stays comfortable.

This face wash is built for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin dealing with active acne, blackheads, whiteheads, clogged pores, and midday shine. If you have a shiny T-zone, recurring breakouts, or congestion on the nose and chin by the end of the day, this is the daily cleanser for your routine.

If you are new to salicylic acid, start once daily for the first week and build to twice daily as tolerated. It is suitable from age 16 and up and is free from fragrance, paraben, SLS, and alcohol, with a skin-friendly pH of 4.5 to 5.5. Note that it contains Benzoyl Peroxide, which can bleach fabrics, so rinse well and use white towels and pillowcases.

Avoid this cleanser if you have a known aspirin allergy, a severely compromised barrier, eczema in the treatment area, or very dry skin, in which case the Gentle Skin Cleanser is a better fit. Because it contains Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide, avoid use during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless cleared by your doctor.

STEP 1

Wet your face with lukewarm water.

STEP 2

Dispense a small amount onto damp fingertips and lather between your palms.

STEP 3

Massage gently across the face for 20 to 30 seconds, focusing on the T-zone and oily areas. Avoid the eye area.

STEP 4

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean towel.

STEP 5

Follow with your night treatment - the Salicylic Acid 2% Serum for active acne or the Niacinamide 10% Face Serum for pore refinement.

STEP 6

Always finish with the Vitamin B5 10% Moisturizer. Acne-prone skin still needs moisture.

When to Use: Morning and evening, every day.

Tip: If your skin feels tight after cleansing, you are washing too long - 20 to 30 seconds of contact is enough at 2% concentration.

Salicylic Acid 2%: Oil-soluble BHA that penetrates inside pores to dissolve sebum, dead cells, and clog-forming debris - the most effective OTC ingredient for acne and blackheads.

Benzoyl Peroxide: Fights acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation, and helps clear stubborn blemishes alongside salicylic acid.

Zinc PCA: Regulates sebum production and provides anti-inflammatory support around active breakouts.

Niacinamide: Strengthens the barrier, refines visible pores, and helps fade post-acne marks over time.

D-Panthenol (Vitamin B5): Calms irritation and offsets the dryness strong cleansers can cause.
