GlyMed Plus Purifying Cleanser with Salicylic Acid is a clarifying gel cleanser built around a 2% salicylic acid formula designed to penetrate congested pores, dissolve excess oil, and reduce active breakouts. This is a targeted daily cleanser for skin that runs oily and breaks out frequently, delivering both antibacterial action and pore-clearing exfoliation in one step.

Key Benefits

Clears congested pores from the inside out 2% salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it works below the surface of the skin to dissolve the sebum and dead cell buildup that leads to blackheads, whiteheads, and inflamed breakouts.

Controls excess oil without stripping the skin The gel formula removes surface oil and helps regulate ongoing oil production so skin feels clean and balanced after every wash, not tight or dry.

Reduces acne-causing bacteria on contact Salicylic acid creates an environment that bacteria cannot thrive in, helping to calm existing blemishes and prevent new ones from forming.

Soothes irritation while you cleanse Aloe vera leaf juice and green tea leaf extract calm redness and inflammation so breakout-prone skin is not left feeling raw or sensitized after cleansing.

Maintains moisture balance Glycerin and acetamide MEA attract and hold water in the skin, ensuring that even an acne-focused cleanser leaves the moisture barrier supported rather than compromised.

If your skin is oily, breakout-prone, and you regularly deal with clogged pores or inflamed acne, this cleanser was formulated with your concerns in mind. It is especially well suited for skin that needs daily antibacterial and exfoliating action without the harshness that leaves you feeling stripped.

Ideal for those whose current cleanser is not keeping oil and congestion under control, or for anyone looking for a salicylic acid face wash that also delivers calming and hydrating ingredients to keep the skin balanced.

Keeping the cleanser on your skin for the full two minutes of massage time matters more than you might think. Salicylic acid needs adequate contact time to penetrate oil and break down buildup inside the pore, so resist the urge to rush through your wash and let the active ingredient do its job.

Apply: Dispense a small amount onto dry skin, avoiding the eye area.

Technique: Dampen your fingertips with warm water and massage the cleanser over your face using circular motions for a full two minutes. This contact time allows the salicylic acid to work effectively.

Remove: Rinse thoroughly with warm water or use a warm, damp cloth to gently remove all residue.

Follow up: Continue with your toner, serum, and moisturizer. Always apply SPF in the morning.
