Nat Says: People are sucked in by a pretty package, incorrectly believing that a clever pump and a pretty bottle equals a nice product. You may be forgiven for overlooking Altruist's utilitarian packaging in favour of something sexier, but please don't! This cleanser is absolutely great for those with oilier skin who are looking for cleansing and gentle exfoliation. Salicylic acid is a BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid), which is oil soluble, making it perfect for oilier skin. (Alpha-Hydroxy Acids (AHAs) are water-soluble and include ingredients like glycolic acid, lactic acid, and mandelic acid. They work mainly on the skin's surface to exfoliate and improve texture and tone. Beta-Hydroxy Acid (BHA) like salicylic acid is oil-soluble, meaning it can penetrate into pores and is especially effective for acne-prone or oily skin).
