Overview
Phisoderm's gel cleanser pairs lactic acid and salicylic acid in a 6 oz bottle aimed at oily, acne-prone skin. It is formulated dye free and oil free for daily washing.
The combination of a chemical exfoliant (lactic acid) with the acne-fighting salicylic acid gives this cleanser two ways to address breakouts, one smoothing texture and one clearing pores. It is positioned for whole-body use, not just facial cleansing.
- Lactic acid and salicylic acid actives
- Dye free, oil free gel formula
- Formulated for oily skin
- 6 fl oz bottle
Who it's for
Works for people with oily, acne-prone skin looking for a gel cleanser with active exfoliants. Not the right pick for anyone with dry or sensitized skin who reacts to salicylic acid or lactic acid.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Contains both lactic acid and salicylic acid
- Dye free and oil free
- Suited to oily, acne-prone skin
- Not formulated for dry or sensitive skin types
- 6 oz size is on the smaller side for whole-body use
Performance notes
As a gel formulated for the whole body rather than face only, it can be used beyond a facial routine, though the acne-focused actives suggest most buyers will stick to face and back.
