Updated October 5, 2026
Low-pH gel cleanser with betaine salicylate and tea tree oil; strips some skin.
What the community says
A basic foaming gel cleanser that leans slightly exfoliating from betaine salicylate and tea tree oil. Best for oily, acne-prone, or combo skin that wants a cleaner rinse. Dry, reactive, or rosacea-prone faces often find it drying or stingy.
