View SephoraWhat Sephora says
A plush, visibly pore-clearing, milky gel cleanser with salicylic acid to clear blemishes and soothe skin.
Use morning and night.
Lather in hands, massage on skin, and rinse.
For external use only. Use as directed. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid eye area. In case of contact with eyes, rinse immediately.
What Glass adds
A good choice for those who want a dedicated exfoliating cleanser. It's effective for oiliness and congestion without being overly stripping, but it won't replace a targeted treatment serum.
Pore clearing
Users appreciate how this cleanser helps to keep pores clear and reduce their appearance over time.
