Geologie - Acne Control Superclean Body Wash

ero Ingredients: These are the active and supporting players that target breakouts.

Salicylic Acid (2%): This is the powerhouse active ingredient. Salicylic acid is a beta-hydroxy acid (BHA) that has the unique ability to penetrate deep inside your pores to dissolve the oil, dead skin cells, and gunk that cause breakouts. It's one of the most effective ingredients for treating acne.

Glycerin: While the salicylic acid is hard at work, glycerin steps in to pull moisture into the skin. This ensures your skin stays hydrated and balanced, not stripped and dry.

Cocamidopropyl Betaine: A gentle, coconut-derived cleanser that helps the body wash lather and clean away surface-level dirt and oil without causing the irritation that some harsher soaps can.

Full Ingredient List:
Active Ingredient: Salicylic Acid 2%
Inactive Ingredients: Water (Aqua), Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Glycerin, Cocamide MIPA, Sodium Chloride, Citric Acid, Phenoxyethanol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Fragrance.

This body wash is ideal for anyone with oily or acne-prone skin on their body. It is specifically designed to address breakouts on the back, chest, and shoulders, often referred to as "bacne."

Treats and Prevents Body Acne: The 2% salicylic acid effectively clears out pores to treat existing breakouts and prevent future ones from forming.

Deep Cleans Pores: Lathers away sweat, excess oil, and dead skin cells that can lead to clogged pores and blemishes.

Gentle Exfoliation: Helps to smooth rough and bumpy skin for a clearer, more even texture.

Non-Stripping Formula: Cleans thoroughly while respecting the skin's moisture barrier, avoiding that overly tight, dry feeling.

Use daily in the shower for best results.

Step 1: In the shower, dispense a generous amount of the body wash onto your hands, a washcloth, or a loofah.

Step 2: Lather up and massage onto the areas where you experience breakouts (back, chest, shoulders, etc.).

Step 3 (Important Tip): Let the lather sit on your skin for a minute or two before rinsing. This gives the salicylic acid time to work its magic and penetrate the pores.

Step 4: Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

This product contains Salicylic Acid, which can cause dryness for some, especially if you have sensitive skin. It also contains fragrance.

The 2nd's Recommendation: If you have very sensitive skin, start by using it every other day to see how your skin tolerates it. If you use this product, be diligent about applying sunscreen to those areas if they're exposed to the sun, as active ingredients can increase sun sensitivity.

This is a fantastic, no-nonsense body wash for anyone who deals with body breakouts, especially during the hot summer months here in New York or after a tough gym session. The key to getting the most out of an acne body wash is to give the active ingredient, salicylic acid, time to work. Don't just immediately rinse it off. Letting it sit on your back and chest for a minute while you wash your hair makes a big difference.

A fresh, clean, and invigorating scent with notes of eucalyptus. It smells clean and refreshing without being overpowering.

How is this different from a regular body wash?
A regular body wash is designed just to clean the surface of your skin. This is a treatment product. It contains an active ingredient (2% Salicylic Acid) specifically chosen to exfoliate deep within the pores, which is necessary to treat and prevent acne.

Can I use this on my face?
No, this product is formulated for the thicker, more resilient skin on your body. The concentration of salicylic acid and the cleansing agents may be too strong for the more delicate skin on your face. Stick to a dedicated face wash for your face.

How long until I see results?
With consistent daily use, you can start to see a reduction in active breakouts within one to two weeks. Significant improvement in skin clarity and texture can take 4-6 weeks. The key is to use it consistently.
