HOW CAN I DOUBLE CLEANSE WITH SALICYLIC ACID CLEANSER?  We recommend double cleansing in your PM routine and use our Oat Balm Cleanser as a 1st step which will melt away SPF and makeup.

CAN I USE EXFOLIATING ACIDS AFTER USING SALICYLIC ACID CLEANSER? Although Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), it is safe to layer it with all types of AHA & BHA exfoliating acids due to the short contact time of the cleanser as this is washed off. 

CAN I USE RETINOLS AFTER USING SALICYLIC ACID CLEANSER IN MY EVENING SKINCARE ROUTINE? Yes! Salicylic Acid Cleanser is a gentle, yet effective cleanser that stays on your skin for a short amount of time and then gets completely washed off with water. Therefore, there should have little to no risk of irritation if you are to use Retinol Serum in your evening skincare routine. However we always recommend patch testing!

For mild, occasional acne, we recommend Salicylic Acid Cleanser. We do not recommend Acne Solution with 5% Benzoyl Peroxide if you have sensitive skin, are pregnant or breastfeeding.

HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO SEE RESULTS? Products can take up to six weeks to show full results, due to the time it takes for your skin cells to turnover and the results of any products to reach the surface. Consistency is key, so apply regularly even if you’re not seeing the effects straight away. It can be very tempting to increase use of some products to try and see quicker results, don't overdo it though. More is not necessarily more, and overuse can cause irritation and sensitivity.
