SLMD Salicylic Acid Cleanser Exfoliating Face Wash 125ml
💎First Impressions
I could tell from the first wash that this wasn’t an average cleanser. It had that fresh, clinical-but-clean vibe that instantly made my skin feel in good hands. The scent is not overpowering, and there are no fancy extras. It just did the job it was meant to do.
💎Benefits
Within a few days, my skin looked noticeably clearer, less congested around the nose and chin, and those tiny under-the-skin bumps started fading. It kept my breakouts in check without completely stripping my skin, which is rare for an exfoliating cleanser.
💎Key Ingredients
The hero here is 2% salicylic acid, a tried-and-true BHA that penetrates pores to unclog and fight acne at the root. It’s balanced with soothing ingredients like allantoin and glycerin, which help calm the skin while the acid does its thing.
💎Packaging
Simple, sleek, and hygienic, the tube is a total win for ease of use and mess-free. The branding is clinical yet modern and very on-brand for Dr. Sandra Lee's SLMD line.
💎Texture
It’s a gel-like formula that lathers just enough, is not too creamy, and is not too foamy. It rinses off cleanly without that tight, squeaky feeling, which I appreciate especially on days when my skin is feeling sensitive.
💎Downside
If your skin is dry, this might be a little too much as a daily cleanser—it can leave one feeling slightly dehydrated without a good moisturizer to follow up.
