Obagi Clenziderm MD

This beta acid cleanser offers effective cleansing for oily skin prone to breakouts and acne. With salicylic acid at 2% it does not only work on the surface but it penetrates inside the skin layers to clean the skin and the clogged pores. Salicylic acid works by exfoliating and removing dead cells from inside pores and on the surface of the skin. As it removes old skin, salicylic acid also encourages new cell growth and turnover. The presence of salicylic in a cleanser is the preferable active ingredient for acne prone, oily or normal skin as the ingredient is easily soluble in lipids (oil). Added menthol in the foam wash soothes the skin.

Tips & Suggestions (Combination or oily, acne-prone, congested skin)

• Use can be alternated with a glycolic foam wash (without salicylic)
• Retinoids (Retinal/Retinol) should be added at night time
• Individuals with sensitive skin “sensitized face skin” should limit overall number of products/ingredients used per day. Use a few high active % but overall fewer products (decreases number of ingredients in regime used daily as each ingredient is a chemical)
