Remedy Science Gel-to-Foam Cleanser — 12 fl oz Fragrance-Free with 0.5% Salicylic Acid & Ceramides for Acne-Prone, Sensitive Skin

Remedy Science Gel-to-Foam Cleanser is a fragrance-free, dermatologist-formulated face wash that transforms from a silky gel into a gentle foam to exfoliate, balance oil, and preserve the skin barrier.

This cleanser is designed for normal to oily, acne-prone, and sensitive skin types that need effective pore-clearing without over-drying. It combines 0.5% salicylic acid for chemical exfoliation with ceramide NP to support barrier health, plus niacinamide and green tea extract to help manage sebum and soothe irritation. The formula is fragrance-free, vegan, cruelty-free, and created under Dr. Shah’s “do no harm” philosophy, making it suitable for daily morning and evening use.

How does the gel-to-foam texture benefit my skin?

The product starts as a gel that spreads easily, then foams into a light lather that lifts oil and impurities. That texture gives you the cleansing power of a foam without the tightness associated with harsh surfactants.

• Gel base for smooth application and gentle coverage
• Foaming action removes excess sebum and surface debris
• Non-stripping finish thanks to ceramide NP
• Suitable for daily use morning and night

Will the 0.5% salicylic acid dry out or irritate sensitive skin?

At 0.5%, salicylic acid offers mild but effective exfoliation that dissolves dead skin and unclogs pores without aggressive stripping. The presence of ceramides and calming green tea extract helps maintain moisture and reduce the chance of irritation.

• Low concentration for gentle, consistent exfoliation
• Ceramide NP protects and repairs the skin barrier
• Green tea extract provides antioxidant support and soothing effects
• Fragrance-free formula minimizes sensitizing ingredients

How does this product help with oily or acne-prone skin routines?

This cleanser targets clogged pores and surface buildup that contribute to breakouts while supporting balanced oil production. Niacinamide and green tea work together to modulate sebum without drying the skin, so subsequent treatments absorb more consistently.

• Salicylic acid clears and reduces pore congestion
• Niacinamide helps regulate sebum and improves skin texture
• Light foam prepares skin for serums and moisturizers
• Non-irritating base complements active acne regimens

Is this cleanser compatible with other skincare actives?

Yes, its gentle exfoliation and barrier-supporting ingredients make it a suitable daily wash to pair with common actives like retinoids, vitamin C, or topical treatments—use as the cleansing step to reduce buildup before your targeted products.

• Pairs well with leave-on acne treatments and serums
• Use morning and night for consistent results
• Avoid combining with abrasive physical scrubs simultaneously
• Works under moisturizers to maintain skin hydration

Who is this for: Remedy Science Gel-to-Foam Cleanser is aimed at people with normal to oily or combination skin who want a reliable daily wash that removes oil and unclogs pores while preserving skin comfort. It’s also appropriate for those with sensitive or acne-prone skin seeking fragrance-free, dermatologist-designed care; anyone following a multi-step skincare routine will find it a compatible first step.
