A cleansing gel that exfoliates while it washes oily, breakout-prone skin
SkinCeuticals Blemish + Age Cleansing Gel is an exfoliating cleanser for oily and combination skin with both blemishes and signs of ageing. It pairs gentle cleansing agents with three exfoliating acids: salicylic acid clears inside the pores, glycolic acid refines the surface and helps smooth fine lines, and capryloyl salicylic acid (LHA) exfoliates precisely with a skin-like lipid structure. Dead cells that clog pores are lifted away at each wash, so the skin looks clearer, smoother and more even.
The texture
A clear gel that lathers lightly and rinses off easily, with a slight cooling touch from menthol. Skin feels clean and fresh, not stripped.
Who it suits
- Oily and combination skin with breakouts
- Adult acne combined with first wrinkles
- Enlarged-looking pores and rough texture
- Skin already used to exfoliating acids
Worth knowing before you buy: Three acids in one cleanser can be too strong for dry or very sensitive skin. Start once a day, and wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen every morning, as acids make the skin more sensitive to the sun.
How long one bottle lasts
Used once or twice a day with a small amount, the 240ml bottle lasts around three to four months.
