How To Use

  1. Wet Skin: Wet your face with lukewarm water.
  2. Cleanse Gently: Apply a small amount of cleanser to wet skin and gently massage over the face using your fingertips. Pay particular attention to oil-prone or congested areas without scrubbing. Avoid direct contact with the eyes.
  3. Rinse & Moisturize: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and gently pat dry. Follow with a moisturizer suited to your skin type.

How Often to Use

Use once or twice daily according to your skin type, routine and tolerance.

  • Oily or combination skin: Once or twice daily may be suitable if skin remains comfortable.
  • If you are new to salicylate-based cleansers or prone to dryness: Begin once daily or less frequently and adjust according to how your skin responds.
  • Reduce frequency if you notice persistent tightness, dryness, stinging or flaking.

There is no need to deliberately leave the cleanser on the skin for an extended period. It is designed as a rinse-off facial cleanser.

Using with Other Active Ingredients

This rinse-off salicylate cleanser can be used as part of a routine that also includes retinol, retinoids, benzoyl peroxide or other exfoliating products, but how well these combinations are tolerated varies from person to person.

If you are using a leave-on retinol, retinoid, benzoyl peroxide, AHA/BHA or another potentially irritating active, introduce products gradually and pay attention to dryness, tightness, stinging or flaking. If irritation develops, reduce the frequency of one or more products or use them in separate routines or on alternate days.

If you are using a prescription retinoid or following a dermatologist-prescribed acne treatment, follow the specific treatment instructions provided for that routine.

Daily Skin-Care Tips

Use a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen during the daytime.

Avoid aggressive scrubbing and avoid applying the cleanser to broken or significantly irritated skin. If marked or persistent irritation develops, discontinue use and seek appropriate medical advice.

Frequently asked questions

  • How does the 1% Salicylic Acid in this cleanser clear pores and blackheads?

    Salicylic Acid is a Beta Hydroxy Acid (BHA) that is uniquely oil-soluble. This allows it to penetrate deep into the pore lining to dissolve the buildup of excess sebum, dead skin cells, and daily debris that cause blackheads and blemishes. By gently exfoliating the skin's surface and decongesting pores, this 1% formula visibly improves skin clarity and smooths rough, uneven texture with regular use.

  • Will this foaming cleanser leave my skin feeling tight, dry, or stripped?

    No. Many anti-blemish cleansers rely on harsh degreasing agents, but PURAMORIA uses a pH-balanced formula designed for comfort. While the Salicylic Acid and cleansing surfactants remove excess oil and impurities, the formula immediately replenishes the skin using Panthenol (Provitamin B5), Sodium Hyaluronate, and Aloe Vera. These humectants and soothing agents attract moisture and support the skin barrier, leaving your face feeling fresh and comfortably clean, never stripped.

  • How does Zinc PCA help manage oily and combination skin?

    Zinc PCA is widely used in skincare for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin. It helps reduce the appearance of excess surface sebum and unwanted shine, leaving skin looking fresher and more matte. Paired with the cleanser's salicylate-based exfoliating system, it supports the removal of excess oil and buildup associated with clogged pores and blackheads, helping skin appear clearer, smoother and more balanced with regular use.

  • Is this cleanser safe for daily use, even if my skin is easily irritated?

    This cleanser is designed for daily cleansing of oily, combination and blemish-prone skin. Manufactured in accordance with GMPC standards, the formula has undergone third-party clinical skin patch testing conducted by SGS to evaluate skin compatibility. It combines Allantoin, Panthenol, Aloe Vera and Tea Tree Leaf Extract to provide soothing, skin-conditioning support and help maintain a comfortable feel after cleansing.

    If your skin is easily irritated, begin with once-daily use or less frequently and adjust according to your skin's response. Individual tolerance varies, so reduce frequency or discontinue use if persistent irritation develops.

  • What is the best way to use this BHA cleanser in my skincare routine?

    For the best results, use the cleanser morning and evening. Lather a pea-sized amount with lukewarm water and massage it into the skin for up to one minute to allow the active ingredients to work, then rinse thoroughly. Important Sun Care Note: Because Salicylic Acid is an exfoliant, it can make your skin more sensitive to the sun. Always follow up with a broad-spectrum sunscreen in your morning routine and avoid combining this cleanser with other strong exfoliating acids or retinoids in the same step to prevent over-exfoliation.

How It Works

Helps Clear Pore Buildup

Betaine Salicylate provides salicylate-based exfoliating care that helps loosen dead skin cells, excess oil and debris around the pore opening. With regular use, it supports the appearance of clogged pores, blackheads and uneven skin texture.

Helps Control Excess Surface Oil

Zinc PCA supports oil balance and helps reduce visible surface shine, making the formula especially suitable for oily and combination skin.

Supports Skin Comfort During Cleansing

Panthenol, Aloe Vera and Allantoin help maintain hydration and skin comfort, reducing the tight or overly dry feeling that can follow stronger foaming cleansers.

Botanical Clarifying Support

PURAMORIA’s Botanical Clarifying Matrix combines Sophora Flavescens Root Extract, Tribulus Terrestris Fruit Extract and Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Extract to complement the pore-clearing and oil-balancing action of Salicylate and Zinc PCA. This three-botanical complex provides clarifying, antioxidant and skin-conditioning support for oily, combination and blemish-prone skin.
