Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser

Skin Script Raspberry Refining Cleanser is a foaming, exfoliating facial cleanser formulated with salicylic acid and glycolic acid to deeply cleanse pores, dissolve congestion, and refine skin texture. It is designed to be used as a weekly deep-cleansing treatment rather than an everyday wash, making it a targeted step for oily and acne-prone skin.

For most skin types, two to three times per week is the sweet spot. This gives your skin the exfoliating benefits of salicylic acid and glycolic acid without over-stripping or causing irritation. Only very oily, resilient skin types may tolerate daily use, and even then, you should monitor your skin closely for signs of sensitivity.

Yes, many acne-prone skin types use this as a benzoyl peroxide alternative. Salicylic acid works inside the pore to dissolve oil and debris, while glycolic acid smooths the surface. Together they address breakouts and congestion without the bleaching or excessive dryness that benzoyl peroxide can cause. If you are transitioning away from benzoyl peroxide, start with two to three uses per week and adjust based on how your skin responds.

This cleanser is not recommended for sensitive, reactive, rosacea-prone, dry, or barrier-compromised skin. The combination of salicylic acid and glycolic acid provides meaningful exfoliation that can overwhelm delicate skin types. If you are unsure whether your skin can handle an acid-based cleanser, reach out for a free skincare consultation before purchasing.

Applying to dry skin allows salicylic acid and glycolic acid to make direct contact with oil and surface buildup before being diluted by water. This maximizes the exfoliating and pore-clearing effects during the two-minute massage time. Once you dampen your fingers and emulsify, the cleanser lathers up for a thorough rinse.

It has a fresh, lightly citrus-forward scent from its blend of tea tree leaf oil, lime oil, and grapefruit peel oil. The fragrance is noticeable during use but does not linger on the skin after rinsing.

Use caution when combining this cleanser with other exfoliants such as retinol, AHA toners, or exfoliating serums. Because it already contains both salicylic acid and glycolic acid, layering additional exfoliants on the same day can lead to irritation or a compromised moisture barrier. On the days you use this cleanser, keep the rest of your routine hydrating and simple.

Caution is recommended. Because this cleanser contains exfoliating acids, many clients benefit from avoiding retinoids or other exfoliants on the same day. Always monitor skin tolerance and adjust frequency accordingly.

No. This cleanser is not recommended for sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, as the foaming action and exfoliating acids may be too stimulating.

This cleanser may be appropriate for teens with very oily, acne-prone skin when used no more than a few times per week, depending on skin tolerance and professional guidance.

Unlike daily acne cleansers, this formula is designed as a deep-cleansing, exfoliating wash. It combines salicylic and glycolic acids to clear pores and refine texture, making it an effective weekly treatment cleanser rather than an everyday face wash for most people.

If dryness or irritation occurs, discontinue use and focus on barrier-supportive hydration and repair. This cleanser may be too strong for your skin or may be used too frequently.
