A foaming gel cleanser from Dr.Melaxin’s S-ZINC blemish line, made for oily, breakout-prone skin. It is formulated around salicylic acid (BHA), which helps clear breakouts and unclog pores by gently exfoliating dead skin cells and loosening the buildup inside pores. Zinc (including Zinc PCA and zinc lactate) helps regulate oil and calm the look of blemishes, and glycerin and propanediol keep skin hydrated, so it cleanses without leaving skin tight. The gel lathers into a fresh foam that lifts away dirt and excess sebum. The formula contains patchouli oil, so it has a fragrance.
Key ingredients:
-
Salicylic acid (BHA): unclogs pores and gently exfoliates
-
Zinc PCA and zinc lactate: help balance oil and calm blemishes
-
Glycerin, propanediol, and gentle cleansing agents: cleanse while keeping skin comfortable
How to use: Typically, dispense an appropriate amount onto wet hands, lather, and massage gently over the face, avoiding the eyes. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use once or twice a day. Because it contains salicylic acid, start with once a day if your skin is sensitive, and use sunscreen in the morning. Contains a fragrance allergen, so patch test first.
Best for: Oily, blemish-prone, and congested skin, blackheads, and a daily cleanse in an S-ZINC routine with the S-ZINC Blemish Cream.
