What they liked

Smooth gel texture
Targets pore blockage with LHA
Won't strip skin with glycerin and ginger

What they flagged

Can stack heavily with other exfoliants

What the gurus are saying

The smooth gel texture earns praise from gurus who think it suits acne-prone skin well. LHA penetrates deep into pores to break up blockages at their source, while willow bark adds a natural BHA component and glycerin prevents over-stripping. The key: massage it for 30 to 60 seconds as directed. Anyone stacking it with other exfoliants (like a mandelic acid serum) may want to start with once-daily use and watch how their skin responds before moving to twice daily, especially if their skin tends toward sensitivity.

"This is the Pore Power Exfoliating LHA plus BHA Gel Cleanser, and this is where some of the actives start to come in. LHA is a derivative of salicylic acid, and it's oil soluble, so it gets into the pore lining and can help break up the blockage at the source, which matters because pore blockage is literally one step in how acne forms. Willow bark adds a natural BHA component, and ginger root extract and glycerin keep it from being too stripping. The instruction to massage it for 30 to 60 seconds is actually important, not just filler copy. The brand recommends using this AM and PM, but if you're already using the mandelic acid serum at night you're starting to stack exfoliation up multiple times a day, so if your skin is on the more sensitive side I would start with this cleanser just once a day and see how it responds before going twice a day. That's not a knock on the product, it's just smart skin care practice. It's priced at $28."
