PRODUCT DETAILS

A patient-favourite foaming face wash with 2% salicylic acid to help clear acne, unclog pores, and lift away excess oil and debris. Licorice and ginger root extracts help calm and soothe, so even breakout-prone skin is left feeling balanced and thoroughly clean, not tight. Made for oily skin, acne, and large-looking pores. 200 ml.

THE SCIENCE

Salicylic acid is a beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that's oil-soluble, so it can work inside the pore. It loosens the dead skin cells and oil that clog pores and lead to breakouts.

Acne treatments can be drying. Licorice root and ginger root extracts are antioxidant botanicals that help soothe the look of redness, while panthenol, niacinamide, and glycerin help keep skin comfortable as you cleanse.

HOW TO USE

Use once or twice a day (AM and PM), or as directed by your dermatologist. Apply to a wet face and neck and work into a lather. Rinse with water and pat dry.

Good to know: Salicylic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun, so wear sunscreen every day. If dryness or peeling occurs, use it once a day and follow with a moisturizer.

FAQ

Can I use it every day?

Yes. Use it once or twice a day. If your skin feels dry, start with once a day and build up.

Will it dry out my skin?

It's formulated with soothing licorice and ginger root plus panthenol and glycerin, so skin feels clean, not stripped. If dryness or peeling happens, cut back and add a moisturizer.

Is it okay for sensitive skin?

Salicylic acid is an active ingredient, so start slowly if your skin is reactive. For very sensitive skin, our Detox Facial Cleanser is a gentler option.

Do I need sunscreen with it?

Yes. Salicylic acid can make skin more sensitive to the sun. Wear a mineral sunscreen like our Matte Zinc Oxide Sunscreen every day.

What should I pair it with?

Follow with the Porefection Toner and a light moisturizer, or save with The Anti-Acne Routine.

I've struggled with cystic hormonal

I've struggled with cystic hormonal acne over the past few years (I'm 26), and I have tried every top brand of cleanser you can imagine. This is my favourite cleanser of them all! Gentle, but gets a deep clean when I use a silocone face scrubber. This cleanser along with some prescribed acne creams has helped my acne imensely! I highly recommend :)

Developed in a dermatology clinic. Not a lab you've never heard of.

Revoderm formulas are created by board-certified dermatologist Dr. Ken Alanen and cosmetic laser clinician Ildikó Juhász at Derm.ca, a leading dermatology clinic in Calgary, Alberta. They're the same medical-grade formulas our clinicians reach for in-clinic — developed beside real patients, real procedures, and real results, not focus-grouped in a vacuum.

When your skincare comes from a working Calgary dermatology practice with 20+ years of experience and 120,000+ patients treated, "dermatologist-developed" isn't a marketing line. It's where the product was born.
