Product Description
Simplist Salicylic Acid 2% Gel Cleanser is a daily salicylic acid cleanser that goes deep into pores at the wash step to dissolve oil and clear blackheads. Salicylic Acid is oil-soluble, so it travels into sebum-filled pores during the short contact time of a wash, while Benzoyl Peroxide targets acne-causing bacteria and Zinc PCA keeps oil production in check. This water-based gel foams gently without stripping skin, making it suitable for daily use even on breakout-prone skin. It is a rinse-off step, so pair it with a leave-on treatment for deeper pore work. Explore the full Salicylic Acid collection for the matching serum.
Key Benefits
Deep Pore Cleansing: Salicylic Acid loosens oil and debris inside the follicle at every wash, so pores look visibly cleaner within 1 to 2 weeks.
Reduces Acne and Blackheads: Benzoyl Peroxide targets acne-causing bacteria while the BHA clears the plug feeding new breakouts, cutting active blemishes over 3 to 4 weeks.
Controls Excess Oil: Zinc PCA regulates sebum production, so skin feels balanced and less shiny by midday rather than stripped and tight.
Key Ingredients
Salicylic Acid 2%: Salicylic Acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble, letting it travel into clogged pores during the wash to loosen the sebum-keratin plug inside. At 2%, it works on both current congestion and future blackheads.
Benzoyl Peroxide: Benzoyl Peroxide is an antibacterial agent that reduces the acne-causing bacteria living in clogged pores, calming inflammation behind active breakouts. It can bleach colored fabric, so use a white towel.
Zinc PCA: Zinc PCA is a mineral compound that regulates sebum output and soothes redness around breakouts, working alongside the acids without adding extra irritation.

Is This Right For You?
This cleanser suits oily, combination, and acne-prone skin with blackheads, clogged pores, or regular breakouts. It is the right daily wash when excess oil and congestion are your main concern. Suitable from age 15 and above.
Go slow if your skin is dry or sensitive. Use it once daily in the PM only and follow every wash with a good moisturizer, since Benzoyl Peroxide and Salicylic Acid together can be drying on reactive skin.
Avoid if you are pregnant or breastfeeding without consulting your doctor, since this formula contains both Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide. Do not use on open wounds. Fragrance, Paraben, SLS, and Alcohol free at pH 6 to 7.
How To Use
| Step | What To Do |
|---|---|
| STEP 1 | Wet your face with lukewarm water. |
| STEP 2 | Apply a small amount and massage in circular motions for 30 to 60 seconds, avoiding the eye area. |
| STEP 3 | Rinse thoroughly with water and pat dry, do not rub. |
| STEP 4 | Follow with your treatment serum, then moisturizer. |
| When | AM and PM for oily and acne-prone skin. If dry or sensitive, PM only. |
Best Paired With: Follow with the Salicylic Acid 2% Face Serum at night for deeper, leave-on pore treatment this rinse-off wash cannot deliver alone. For the full acne routine in one bundle, see the Salicylic Acid Anti Acne Kit.
Avoid Combining With: Do not layer other strong exfoliants in the same wash. If using a leave-on AHA toner, wait until a separate step rather than applying it immediately after this cleanser.
Results Timeline
| Timeframe | What Changes |
|---|---|
| Week 1-2 | Pores look cleaner and less congested right after each wash. |
| Week 3-4 | Active breakouts reduce as Benzoyl Peroxide keeps acne-causing bacteria in check. |
| Week 6-8 | Oil feels more balanced through the day, with fewer new blackheads forming. |
| What Affects Results | Twice-daily consistency matters most. A leave-on treatment after this wash speeds deeper pore results. |
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this salicylic acid cleanser every day?
Yes, for oily and acne-prone skin, AM and PM. If your skin is dry or sensitive, use it once daily in the evening and follow with a moisturizer.
Is a cleanser enough to treat acne on its own?
Not fully. The short contact time of a wash limits how deep the acids can work. Follow with the Salicylic Acid 2% Face Serum for leave-on pore treatment.
Will Benzoyl Peroxide bleach my towels?
Yes, it can bleach colored fabric. Use a white towel or cloth to pat your face dry after each wash.
Is this cleanser safe during pregnancy?
Consult your doctor first. This formula contains both Salicylic Acid and Benzoyl Peroxide, and both need clinical guidance during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
Can I use this with a BHA toner?
Yes, but not stacked in the same step. Use this cleanser first, then apply a leave-on BHA toner as a separate PM step, not doubled up together.
