Minimalist Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Cleanser for Oily / Acne Prone Skin 100 ml I Face Wash for Oily & Acne Prone Skin

The Minimalist Salicylic Acid + LHA 02% Cleanser is a highly targeted face wash designed for individuals with oily, combination, and acne-prone skin. This cleanser stands out by combining two effective exfoliants – Salicylic Acid (BHA) and LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid) – at a 2% concentration to provide multi-level cleansing and address common concerns like acne, blackheads, excess oil, and clogged pores without stripping the skin.

Key Features and Benefits:

• 2% Salicylic Acid (BHA): Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that is oil-soluble. This unique property allows it to penetrate deep into the pores, where it effectively dissolves sebum (oil), dead skin cells, and other debris that can lead to clogged pores, blackheads, whiteheads, and acne breakouts. It provides deep cleansing and exfoliation from within the pores.
• LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid): LHA is a derivative of salicylic acid but is a larger molecule, meaning it stays on the outer layers of the skin. It provides a gentle, cell-by-cell exfoliation on the surface, helping to smooth skin texture and promote cell turnover without causing irritation. The combination of BHA and LHA ensures both deep and superficial exfoliation.
• Reduces Acne and Prevents Breakouts: By effectively unclogging pores and reducing excess sebum, this cleanser directly targets the root causes of acne. Regular use helps to reduce existing acne and prevents future breakouts.
• Balances Oil Production: The active ingredients, particularly Salicylic Acid and Zinc (often included in such formulations), work to regulate sebum production, leading to a less oily and more balanced complexion throughout the day.
• Non-Drying & Gentle: Despite containing powerful exfoliants, the cleanser is formulated with very mild, sulfate-free surfactants. This ensures that it cleanses effectively without over-drying the skin or stripping its natural lipids, leaving the skin feeling refreshed and balanced rather than tight or irritated.
• Enriched with Soothing & Hydrating Ingredients: To counteract potential dryness and irritation, the formula includes hydrating and soothing ingredients such as Panthenol (Vitamin B5), Allantoin, Xylitylglucoside, and Pentylene Glycol. These help maintain skin hydration and comfort.
• Anti-Bacterial Zinc: Zinc is often included for its anti-bacterial properties, which help to control acne-causing bacteria, further aiding in breakout prevention.
• Optimal pH (4.5 – 5.5): The cleanser is formulated at a skin-friendly pH, which is crucial for maintaining the skin’s natural barrier function and effectiveness of the active ingredients.
• Fragrance-Free & Non-Comedogenic: As with other Minimalist products, it is free from fragrance, essential oils, silicones, parabens, and dyes, making it suitable for sensitive skin. It is also non-comedogenic, ensuring it won’t contribute to pore clogging.
