Cleansers

Face Reality Acne Face and Body Scrub is a dual-action physical exfoliant formulated for acne-prone skin. It gently buffs away pore-clogging buildup on the face, chest, and back while supporting clear, smooth skin, helping you get ahead of congestion without causing irritation. Massage a small amount into damp skin with a light lather, without rubbing hard.

This formula pairs hydrating ingredients with non-abrasive natural cellulose beads, which keeps exfoliation gentle on your skin barrier. It is free of pore-clogging oils and sulfates, making it safe to use a few times per week on acne-prone or sensitive skin. It suits oily and combination skin especially well.

This is not just a face wash; it is an active acne step. With benzoyl peroxide, it kills acne-causing bacteria and unclogs pores. Glycerin maintains hydration while biodegradable cellulose beads provide gentle exfoliation, smoothing texture and helping other actives work more effectively. It is especially helpful for clogged pores and blackheads that are not inflamed.

Trusted by Face Reality Acne Experts, this scrub works well on chest and back acne. It is powerful enough to target keratin plugs and breakouts on tougher body areas, yet gentle enough for careful use on the face when appropriate. After massaging it in, rinse with tepid water, pat dry, and finish with your eye cream, serum, and moisturizer.

Face Reality Active Clarity Gel Cleanser is a professional-grade treatment cleanser powered by 2% salicylic acid, glycolic and malic acids, and prebiotics that unclogs pores, gently exfoliates, and helps clear acne in one step. Designed for oily and acne-prone skin, it serves as a foundational daily cleanse and as a deeper second step in a double cleanse when skin needs more. In a two-week consumer study, 100% of users said their skin felt deeply cleansed, 100% saw reduced excess oil, and 91% said their breakouts appeared minimized.

Salicylic acid is the gold standard BHA for acne-prone skin because of one key property: it is oil-soluble. Water-based actives clean what they can reach on the surface. Salicylic acid penetrates the lipid environment of the pore itself, dissolving the dead cell and sebum buildup that causes congestion and breakouts before they form. At 2% this formula delivers the concentration that clinical and professional practice consistently recommends for effective pore clearing.

While salicylic acid works inside the pore, the glycolic and malic acid blend in this formula works at the surface to exfoliate dead skin cells, refine uneven texture, and support a more even tone. Both are AHAs that accelerate the shedding of the outermost skin layer to reveal cleaner, smoother skin with each use. The combination of a BHA and dual AHAs in a single cleanser delivers a more comprehensive exfoliation than either acid category alone.

Most acne cleansers prioritize clearing over everything else, often at the expense of the skin barrier and microbiome. The prebiotics in this formula address that tradeoff by nourishing the beneficial bacteria that keep skin balanced and resilient. This allows the salicylic acid and AHAs to do their work effectively without the skin becoming increasingly reactive or compromised over time.

Face Reality Antioxidant Scrub is a sulfate-free, creamy cleanser with natural jojoba beads to exfoliate dead skin without irritation. Designed for acne-prone skin, it removes dull buildup while delivering antioxidant protection, leaving skin smooth, refreshed, and ready for the next step in your routine. Green tea extract offers antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and oil-regulating benefits.

More than just a scrub, this formula also cleanses and nourishes. Jojoba beads glide across the skin without tearing or over-stripping, while botanical extracts and vitamins help strengthen and support the skin barrier. It’s ideal for those who want a deeper clean without compromising sensitivity.

This scrub is specifically formulated to be non-comedogenic and acne-safe, with beads gentle enough for acne-prone skin. It is free of pore-clogging ingredients, artificial fragrance, and sulfates, making it a favorite among Face Reality Acne Experts for both face and body use. It is also a good option if your skin cannot use AHAs or BHAs.

Used once daily or a few times a week (depending on your routine), the Antioxidant Scrub helps maintain a smoother, more even texture while minimizing the risk of clogged pores. It is a simple yet effective way to enhance your regimen and support skin clarity. Massage it gently into damp skin for 30 to 60 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Marini SkinSolutions Bioglycolic Face Cleanser is a non-foaming, glycolic acid-based cleanser that removes dirt, oil, and impurities while gently exfoliating the layer of dead cells that causes dullness and congestion. It rinses clean without stripping, leaving skin soft and smooth. Cetyl alcohol, a fatty alcohol, helps soften and condition the skin as you cleanse.

Bioglycolic works below the surface as well as on it. Glycolic acid has a small molecular size that lets it penetrate between skin cells, loosening the bonds that hold dead cells and debris in place so they do not build up inside pores. The result is cleaner pores, fewer blackheads, and less dullness. With regular use, pores appear smaller because they stay clear.

This cleanser delivers cell-turnover benefits through glycolic acid in a soap-free, fragrance-free formula. Because it is applied to dry skin before water is added, the glycolic acid has time to work before being rinsed away. Massage it in, leave it on for two to three minutes, then remove with a damp cloth. Results build steadily with each daily cleanse.

Bioglycolic is designed to keep skin comfortable while it exfoliates. It contains sorbitol, a naturally derived humectant that draws moisture into the skin during cleansing. The non-foaming cream texture supports this further, delivering a thorough cleanse that leaves skin feeling soft and balanced rather than stripped. There is no need for a toner or astringent afterward.

Vivant BP 3% Exfoliating Cleanser is designed to help clear and control acne by targeting the bacteria that contribute to breakouts. The benzoyl peroxide formula penetrates pores to help reduce acne-causing bacteria while cleansing away oil, debris, and buildup that can lead to congestion. With 3% benzoyl peroxide, it is a helpful option when congestion is the main concern.

This antibacterial cleanser helps remove impurities while keeping pores clearer and less prone to blockage. By addressing both bacteria and buildup, the formula helps support a healthier skin environment that can reduce the frequency and severity of breakouts. Glycerin, a humectant, helps maintain moisture during cleansing so skin feels comfortable after rinsing.

Biodegradable exfoliating beads help lift away dead skin cells and surface buildup that can contribute to rough texture and dullness. This gentle polishing action encourages clearer pores and smoother-looking skin while helping improve the appearance of uneven texture. Massage gently over damp skin, focusing on areas of congestion, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry.

BP 3% Exfoliating Cleanser works best for combination or oily skin experiencing breakouts and congestion. It helps maintain clearer pores while supporting a balanced routine for acne-prone skin. Individuals prone to hyperpigmentation or with deeper skin tones may prefer mandelic-based cleansers instead. It works especially well for non-inflamed acne such as clogged pores and blackheads.

Vivant Buffing Grains help remove dull surface buildup, excess oil, and debris that can leave skin looking uneven or tired. The polishing beads work across the surface of the skin to lift away dead cells, helping reveal a fresher, more radiant complexion while supporting clearer pores.

Regular exfoliation helps encourage natural cell turnover and prevents buildup that can contribute to congestion and rough texture. This water-based formula provides a balanced cleanse and polish in one step, helping skin maintain smoother texture and better clarity without relying on harsh or aggressive scrubbing.

By removing surface buildup, the skin appears brighter, smoother, and more even in tone. Exfoliation also helps skincare products absorb more effectively, allowing serums and moisturizers to work more efficiently. With consistent use, skin can look clearer, more refined, and naturally luminous. Urea supports hydration and softens rough or dry areas as you polish.

Vivant Buffing Grains are designed for most skin types looking for a simple way to maintain smooth, polished skin. The gentle exfoliating beads make it a practical addition to routines focused on texture refinement, congestion prevention, and maintaining a healthy-looking glow. Use it two to three times a week, mixed with water or your cleanser and massaged over damp skin.

Oily and acne-prone skin benefits from a cleanser that removes not just surface dirt and makeup but the excess sebum and debris inside pores. Clarify Wash does this with mandelic acid, which penetrates the pore lining to loosen trapped oil and dead skin cells, and gentle surfactants that lift them away without over-stripping. With twice-daily use, breakouts become less frequent.

Clarify Wash exfoliates while it cleanses, using mandelic acid, gluconolactone, lactic acid, and fruit enzymes to dissolve the buildup of dead cells behind rough texture, dullness, and an uneven surface. Skin is gently resurfaced every time you cleanse, producing a visible improvement in smoothness and clarity that builds consistently over time without the need for a separate exfoliant.

For oily and acne-prone skin, discoloration is often the most persistent concern, since breakouts can leave marks behind. Clarify Wash helps interrupt this cycle at the cleansing step, delivering mandelic acid and stable vitamin C that work together to fade existing marks and help prevent new ones. With regular use, skin becomes progressively brighter and more even.

Although it contains multiple exfoliating actives, Clarify Wash is formulated to leave the barrier intact. Gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid known for its barrier-reinforcing properties, balances the exfoliation by binding moisture and supporting the skin's protective function, while sodium hyaluronate and glycerin add hydration. The result is a thorough, active cleanse that leaves skin comfortable enough for twice-daily use.

The Epicutis Cleansing Essentials Set pairs the Cleansing Oil with the Enzyme Exfoliating Powder to deliver a deep yet gentle cleanse. Together, they melt away makeup, excess oil, and debris while lightly polishing the skin's surface, leaving a refreshed, balanced complexion even for reactive skin.

Start with the Oil Cleanser to dissolve SPF, sebum, and impurities without stripping or irritating. Two to three times a week, follow with the Enzyme Exfoliating Powder for a deeper second cleanse that gently clears leftover residue. This duo cleanses thoroughly while respecting your skin’s microbiome. Hinoki wood oil adds a calming, anti-inflammatory touch.

Both formulas are sulfate-free and fragrance-free. They are pH-balanced and microbiome-friendly, and they suit care after professional procedures such as laser, following your provider's aftercare. After microneedling, wait forty-eight hours before using the set, unless your provider gave you specific aftercare for that window. If your skin reacts to many cleansers, this set offers a soothing alternative.

For your first cleanse, use the Oil Cleanser to dissolve SPF, oil, and impurities without stripping. For your second cleanse, mix the Enzyme Exfoliating Powder with a little oil to create a gentle exfoliating paste that smooths dead cells while keeping skin nourished and calm.

Vivant Cleansing Milk gently dissolves oil, dirt, and daily residue while maintaining the skin’s natural moisture balance. The creamy formula cleans effectively without leaving skin tight or dry, making it especially helpful for delicate or compromised skin types that cannot tolerate strong foaming cleansers. It also works as a gentle makeup remover.

The formula uses moisturizing emollients and humectants that help protect the skin’s barrier during cleansing. Instead of disrupting the skin’s natural oils, it works to lift impurities while leaving essential moisture behind, which is important for rosacea-prone, inflamed, or post-procedure skin that requires extra care.

After cleansing, skin feels supple, hydrated, and calm rather than stripped or reactive. The nourishing texture helps soften dry patches and reduce the tight feeling that often follows cleansing. Over time, consistent use supports smoother texture and a more comfortable skin environment. Grape seed oil softens and conditions the skin while offering antioxidant protection.

This cleanser is especially well suited for very dry, dry-combination, sensitive, rosacea-prone, or mature skin types. Its ultra-gentle formula also makes it appropriate for delicate situations such as post-surgical skin or extremely fragile skin that requires cleansing without irritation. Since it can be wiped off with a cotton pad, it also suits travel and camping when water is hard to find.

GlyMed Exfoliating Cleanser helps address acne at its source by clearing pore congestion and removing excess oil. The combination of salicylic acid and gentle exfoliating beads works to lift buildup that can lead to breakouts. This dual-action approach helps reduce clogged pores while keeping acne-prone skin cleaner and more balanced.

Salicylic acid penetrates into the pore to dissolve oil and debris that contribute to breakouts and congestion. At the same time, gentle exfoliating beads help remove surface buildup that can block pores and slow healthy cell turnover. Together, these actions support clearer pores and healthier skin renewal.

Regular use helps refine uneven texture caused by acne, oil buildup, and sluggish cell turnover. By clearing both surface buildup and pore congestion, the skin gradually appears smoother, brighter, and more balanced. Many people notice that their skin feels fresher and looks clearer as excess oil and impurities are reduced.

This cleanser is especially helpful for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types that struggle with congestion or recurring breakouts. It fits well into routines designed to control oil and maintain clearer pores, making it a practical daily cleanser for those managing active acne or persistent buildup.

Pavise Gentle Amino Powerwash removes sunscreen, makeup, oil, and debris without stripping your skin. This ultra-mild cleanser uses amino acid-based surfactants that mimic your skin’s natural pH, offering a deep cleanse that leaves the skin soft, balanced, and comfortable. It even removes eye makeup, so there is no need to double cleanse.

With a light, airy texture, this cleanser foams just enough to feel satisfying while still being gentle enough for the most sensitive skin. It effectively breaks down buildup from SPF and pollution while protecting the skin barrier. No dryness, no stinging, just clean, calm skin.

At the heart of this formula is Pavise’s patented DiamondCore zinc oxide, which supports skin health even during cleansing. Combined with bioadaptive ingredients and soothing humectants, it helps maintain hydration, reduce irritation, and prepare skin for better absorption of your next skincare steps. Niacinamide and glycolic acid add support for a brighter tone and smoother texture.

Formulated for all skin types, including sensitive and acne-prone, Gentle Amino Powerwash is free of harsh sulfates and fragrances. It’s your go-to daily cleanser whether you're doing a full routine or keeping it simple, gentle enough for morning and night use, yet powerful enough to rinse the day away.

Glow Gel Cleanser lifts away excess oil and impurities with two mild, coconut-derived cleansing agents: coco-betaine and potassium cocoyl glycinate, which is made with an amino acid. Glycerin and panthenol draw water into your skin while you cleanse, and arginine helps keep the formula at a skin-friendly pH. Skin is left comfortable rather than tight, because the oils your barrier relies on stay in place.

Niacinamide, glutathione and vitamin C sit alongside fruit extracts such as bilberry, blueberry and apple, bringing antioxidant support every time you cleanse. With consistent daily use, this helps brighten your complexion and gives skin a more even, glowing look. Because a cleanser is rinsed off within a minute, these benefits build gradually. Niacinamide also helps calm redness and refine the look of pores.

The formula is fragrance-free and sulfate-free, and it is built around ingredients that help calm redness and irritation. Dipotassium glycyrrhizate, which comes from licorice root, and white water lily extract soothe your skin during the cleanse, while panthenol and glycerin keep it hydrated and comfortable. It is gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin, and it works for both teens and adults.

The fruit extracts in Glow Gel Cleanser, including bilberry, sugarcane, lemon, orange and sugar maple, are natural sources of fruit acids, and pineapple fruit water is a natural source of the enzyme bromelain. Together they give a light exfoliating boost at the cleansing step, loosening dead cell buildup for smoother-looking skin. Because it rinses off quickly, it complements a dedicated exfoliant rather than replacing one.
