Clinical Formula

Salicylic Acid

Salicylic Acid, a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) is a potent exfoliating and comedolytic agent that effectively targets blemish-prone skin by unclogging pores and reducing bacterial growth. Key benefits are:

  • Deep Pore Cleansing: As a small lipophilic molecule, Salicylic Acid penetrates deep into pores, dissolving excess sebum and dead skin cells to prevent clogging and breakouts.
  • Exfoliating & Smoothing Effect: Gently promotes the removal of dead skin cells, refining skin texture and improving overall clarity.
  • Anti-Bacterial Action: Effectively counteracts Cutibacterium acnes, a key bacteria responsible for acne development, helping to reduce existing blemishes and prevent future breakouts.

FAQ

Will the Cleansing Gel remove my make-up completely?

It is a good idea to remove eye make-up, especially the water-resistant type, with a dedicated make-up remover (e.g. Eucerin DermatoClean Waterproof Eye Make-up Remover) before thoroughly cleansing skin with the Cleansing Gel.

Can I use the cleansing gel with an electric cleansing brush?

Yes, of course, but be very careful cleaning your skin in this way if you are undergoing medical acne therapy.

My skin feels tight after cleansing. Is that normal?

Tightness can be a sign of dry skin. If your skin feels tight be sure to thoroughly moisturise after cleansing. Consider using one of the moisturisers in the Eucerin DermoPurifyer range.

Is acne caused by having dirty skin?

This is a common myth but it’s not true. It is, however, important to choose products that have been specially formulated for blemish- and acne-prone skin – mild but effective cleansing gels are much more suitable than harsh soap-based alternatives.

    Changed formula - dry and oily
    I used this for many years and was the best product I used for oily, blemish prone skin, but gentle enough not to interact with my topical treatments. This reformulated and rebranded version is incredibly harsh on the skin, strips away its protective layer. My skin is tight, dry, and yet even more oily as the chemicals are too harsh and remove too much. I no longer have the clean skin feeling after using the gel. Additionally, I'm seeing an increase in fine lines and how harsh my wrinkles look due to dryness, it just looks like my skin was sunburnt (minus the redness). I will be looking for an alternative brand as this formula is no longer gentle. What a disappointment, and it will take months for my skin to recover.

    The formula has changed
    I have used the oil control cleanser for years ans recommended it to so many people but the formula and design has changed and I noticed my skin isn't liking it so much. My skin doesn't feel as clean after using it and is now more dry

    solid cleanser
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've been using it for a month now and i really like it. It feels super gentle on my skin but still leaves it feeling clean without dry feeling some cleansers give. My skin feels a lot fresher and less oily throughout the day. I also noticed it doesn’t cause any irritation since my skin can be sensitive at times. Definitely a solid everyday cleanser
