What the gurus are saying

The gentler salicylic acid format is what stands out here, because it's in a cleanser rather than a leave-on treatment, it delivers the acne-fighting benefits while being less likely to strip or irritate, making it worth considering for anyone who finds straight salicylic acid products too drying. The formula also includes glycolic and lactic acids for added exfoliation. One thing to know: it doesn't produce much foam, which some find less satisfying in a cleanser, though that's purely a texture preference rather than a performance issue.

"It's a nice gentle cleanser without any fragrance. I picked it up because it just looked like a gentle cleanser without any fragrance in it and it is just nice gentle cleanser. It's a nice basic second step cleanser. It doesn't do a great job removing makeup and sunscreen, but it does a nice job after that or as a morning cleanser. It's gentle and non-drying, so I think it's worth checking out for some people."

"Current State of Skin here we have a Salicylic Acid and Green Tea Exfoliating Cleanser. If you're someone who doesn't tolerate these salicylic acid products and find them drying because it can be consider using a salicylic acid cleanser you can derive the benefits of the ingredient but it tends to be less irritating. It also has alpha hydroxy acids, glycolic and lactic."

"I love me some salicylic acid and I love me some green tea so I am excited to try this one. Plus Current State of Skin is just like a cool brand overall. I don't know if it's supposed to froth but it's not. Maybe it's just not a frothing cleanser, that's okay. I just prefer usually cleansers that have like a little bit of foam and frothiness to them."
