I am 38 y/o and have been prone to a few breakouts here and there but nothing too bad until about 18 months ago. I was under quite a bit of stress and so put it down to that. I seemed to be getting bad breakouts on my chin area. I did some research and thought i would try this. Both my usual morning and evening cleanser had salicyic acid in so i knew my skin was used to it as an active ingredient. My skin really dried out using this, you could see the dry skin on my chin and around my nose. It also caused the worse breakouts i have ever had in life. I had several new spots every day. I emailed The Inkey List and was advise it sounded like my skin was purging and this is normal.

It was just the same and my skin even felt rough against my pillow which was annoying as i sometimes have trouble sleeping. I went back to my original exfoliator in the evening and a more gentle cleanser for the morning, its only been a week and since i have gone back and i have had 1 small whitehead near my nose and the others i had present from using this product are all fading away.

Iāve had difficulty with my skin for my whole life (i'm now 32), mostly getting acne on my chest/back. I tried EVERYTHING I could possibly think of, but would continuously have breakouts - longest I went without one was maybe a month, but it would start all over again. But since adding this to my skincare routine I havenāt had a breakout in around 3 months, which is completely unheard of for me.I've seen some reviews saying this product doesn't help, which it may not for some people, but I didn't see results immediately, it took a month or two of using it until my breakouts completely cleared. I started by using this with every shower, I've now reduced to using it about 2-3 times a week. I do use another sensitive/non-perfume cleanser as well, and use this product ...Ā MoreIāve had difficulty with my skin for my whole life (i'm now 32), mostly getting acne on my chest/back.

Itās honestly been such a relief for me, and couldn't recommend more to people struggling with breakouts!I've added before/after photos, before was taken in 2019, after was today, but the before photo is an accurate representation of what my skin was like 90% of the time. Hope this helps!!

Iāve been using this cleanser for a year and I really enjoy it! I use it as a second cleanse after the ordinary squalene cleanser at night, and alternate between the two in the morning depending on what I think my skin needs. I have oily acne prone skin, and I feel like this cleanser deeply cleans my skin without stripping it. If you leave it on for a long time before rinsing it can feel a bit drying so you just have to watch out for that, but as soon as you put moisturizer on that feeling goes away. I donāt think it does too much for my deeper hormonal acne (I started using prescription retinoids for that), but for smaller breakouts and clogged pores itās helped a lot. Itās very affordable and concentrated, you only need to use a little bit so the bottle lasts a ...Ā MoreIāve been using this cleanser for a year and I really enjoy it!

Iām in my 40s and have combination skin. I suffer from acne, blackheads and whiteheads and have done since I was a teenager. I have never felt confident about my skin, shying away from people and NEVER going out without foundation on. As Iāve got older, companies have realised that itās not just teenagers who suffer from spots and (thankfully) more and more new ranges have come out to help combat this problem. After reading good things, I decided to try The INKEY List range of products. I bought the lot (they were on offer). I started with the Salicylic Acid Cleanser. I started by using it once per day, in the morning, followed by the Niacinamide serum from The Ordinary, Avene Blemish Moisturiser and The Ordinary Moisturising Factors.

I started by using it once per day, in the morning, followed by the Niacinamide serum from The Ordinary, Avene Blemish Moisturiser and The Ordinary Moisturising Factors. My skin reacted well to it, looking clearer. Especially the blackheads on my nose and chin. Itās easy to use, just massage it on and rinse off. My skin did feel very tight and itchy after use, so I only use it a couple of times a week. I donāt want to dry out my skin and in turn cause more problems! I like it and will continue to use it.
Y'all. This is a great product. I started getting hormonal acne out of nowhere, like angry cystic pimples that were tender and filled with pus (sorry if that's TMI). I knew I needed to do something. And along with my lovely hormones was some wonderful fungal acne. I needed to buy an anti-fungal cream but couldn't get to it until a few days later, but the salicylic acid had also helped to calm that down too! Within 2 washes my face looked 10 times better. Seriously. I stopped getting new cystic pimples after 2 washes. And it doesn't strip your skin either. I also have facial eczema (seriously, what don't I have? lol) so I was worried it would make me really dry, but it was totally fine. :)
I am closing in on 30 and recently starting having issues with hormonal acne again. I was breaking out on my chin, cheeks, and forehead.. not fun! I started using this cleanser every night and I honestly can't believe how quickly my face has cleared up! I also haven't had a new pimple since I started using this. The formulation is think and as a few other reviews mentioned, it doesn't really foam up that much, but the coverage is still there! I use a nickel-sized blob on my cleansing brush and it feels really nice. Not drying either! Though I do use a facial spray and apply moisturizer immediately after. I have dry-combo skin for reference so finding a non-drying acne treatment has been hard, but this really works for me.
I've had light but persisten acne issues for 10+years, It's not cystic and it is a minor issue that comes out when I am stressed (and stess eat xD) not an every day concearn, but still it was a bother. And obviously it came out on the worst times š .I confess that in the past I was not very concious about skin care nor did I took care of my skin much/the proper way, but this changed in the past two years.

Now I get far less pimples and breakouts, if they do appear they are far less aggressive and surface better, while in the past they got trapped underneath the skin, itching, not surfacing spontaneoulsy (and often I ended up tormenting them and damaging my skin to "eliminate" them). I just repurchased a BUNCH of them, one to gift to my sis that has always struggled with a far worse case of acne than mune since puberty and still does.
Does what it says on the bottle,IT WORKS. ITS GREAT. Thereās a reason itās hyped on social media.Started using it in lockdown and loved it, then bought the oat cleansing balm. Use them together for a double cleanse. The best face wash Iāve ever had. Love the inkey list. They do the best face washes. Would definitely recommend you buy! I have sensitive skin and itās never been a problem for me. Skin feels great and looks great. Will continue to keep repurchasing. If you have a boots card you can also buy it for Ā£9.99 when itās on offer.
holy grail product for me personally. iām a long time acne sufferer (from age 12-27) and this is the only acne cleanser that has helped me keep my breakouts at bay - consistently - without completely drying me out/irritating my skin.iāve also found this product to be super multifunctional, using it as a cleanser, a mask, and a ādeodorizerā. i have pretty oily skin + noticeable pores on my nose. lately i have been putting a small amount on this area in the PM and leaving it on for about 5 minutes before rinsing it off. i of course follow this up with hydrating + moisturizing nighttime products, and WOW have i seen a significant difference in pore clarity.also, iām aware this isnāt exactly ārecommendedā, but iāve also found this cleanser to be gentle enough for ...Ā Moreholy grail product for me personally. iām a long time acne sufferer (from age 12-27) and this is the only acne cleanser that has helped me keep my breakouts at bay - consistently - without completely drying me out/irritating my skin.iāve also found this product to be super multifunctional, using it as a cleanser, a mask, and a ādeodorizerā. i have pretty oily skin + noticeable pores on my nose. lately i have been putting a small amount on this area in the PM and leaving it on for about 5 minutes before rinsing it off. i of course follow this up with hydrating + moisturizing nighttime products, and WOW have i seen a significant difference in pore clarity.also, iām aware this isnāt exactly ārecommendedā, but iāve also found this cleanser to be gentle enough for the armpit area. the salicylic acid helps to kill odour-causing bacteria that live on the skin! i follow this up with a light lotion and a fragrance free antiperspirant. doing this has kept the skin clean and cared for :) if you struggle with odour/armpit discolouration, maybe give this deodorizing routine a try?while this cleanser doesnāt magically *perfect* my skin, itās one that works amazingly for my skinās needs. i feel now that iām in a good enough place to focus on other skin goals (such as acne scars) and it wonāt be an uphill battle against any breakouts :)
