The gel wash unclogs pores and effectively removes impurities and excess sebum without causing skin irritation or dryness. Thanks to its antibacterial properties, it cleanses acne-prone skin and restores the proper balance of its bacterial flora. Sodium salicylate and mandelic acid gently exfoliate dead epidermal cells and reduce acne breakouts. The gel wash is based on exceptionally mild cleansing agents which do not compromise the skin's natural protective barrier. It is very well tolerated and soap-free.
