Early verdict · Few reviews so far

What the gurus are saying

This cleanser won't lather like traditional cleansers because the salicylic acid stops that, but it reaches deep into pores to unclog them effectively. That means people with congestion-prone skin get real pore-clearing action without the stripping feel of a typical scrub. However, it works best for those with dry to combination skin; those already managing oily skin may find it doesn't suit them as well.

"It does have a bit of a funny smell, quite strong, but it's salicylic acid and it's fragrance free so it's not going to irritate the skin. This isn't going to foam because of salicylic acid, so you don't get that kind of lathery feel that you're going to find with your normal cleansers, but it gets into the pores and it unclogs the pores."

"This one is better for more dry to combo skin. This is the Squalane Cleanser that I personally don't love on my oily prone skin."
