Salicylic Acid: The Science Behind Clearer, Blemish-Free Skin

Salicylic Acid has been skincare's gold-standard BHA for decades - and for good reason. This oil-soluble active penetrates deep into pores to tackle blemishes, blackheads and excess oil at the source - without disrupting your skin's natural balance.

Trusted by dermatologists and now made accessible by us, Salicylic Acid is at the heart of our daily face wash range, helping you target blemish-prone skin and what's developing beneath the surface.

Powered by 2% Salicylic Acid plus soothing Zinc and Allantoin, our daily cleanser helps reduce breakouts, controls oil and calms skin - all without disrupting your skin's natural rhythm. Clearer, blemish-free skin starts here - and stays here.

Reviews Summary
Customers say this cleanser effectively removes makeup and provides a deep clean without over-drying the skin. Many appreciate its gentle formula that works well for sensitive, oily, and acne-prone skin types. Users frequently mention it helps reduce breakouts, blackheads, and pore appearance while leaving skin feeling soft and refreshed. The larger size offers good value, and customers find a little product goes a long way. Some note it works well for double cleansing and body use. A few mention the cap can leak when not upright, and one customer found it ineffective for their breakouts.

    Ingredients were changed

    Started heavily breaking out after using this product for 7 years with no issues. Couldn’t figure out what it was until I stopped using the product. I’m now left with many scars from spots caused by this product.

    When comparing the ingredients list from 2019 to the current day, they have added a lot of new different ingredients. I can’t find any evidence of this change being announced online, which feels poor.

    Hi Sabrina, seven years of loyalty means the absolute world to us - and we are truly sorry to hear about the scarring you've experienced. We completely understand how distressing and frustrating that must be, especially after such a long and positive relationship with this product.
    We want to reassure you that to our knowledge the Salicylic Acid Cleanser formula has not changed, but we completely understand why you feel that way and we would never want to dismiss your concern. The best thing we can do is make sure we look into this properly with you - please do reach out to our Customer Experience Team (help@theinkeylist.com) directly and share what you were seeing on the ingredients list in 2019 so we can cross reference and clarify this for you fully.
    In the meantime, we'd strongly recommend stopping use and allowing your skin to settle. If the scarring and breakouts are persisting, we'd also encourage you to seek advice from a pharmacist or dermatologist. We really do want to get to the bottom of this for you - please do get in touch. 💙

    Excellent

    Gently exfoliates and removes dead skin cells, helps reduce the appearance of breakouts and lessens the production of oil. Leaves my skin feeling smooth and soft.
