Medik8 BetaCleanse

Professional Strength
Anti-Bacterial Exfoliating Foaming Wash Designed for Problem Skin

Everyday cleanser optimal for acneic and problem skins. This lightweight formula removes dirt and impurities and leaves skin feeling col and refreshed. Can also be used as a make-up remover.

2% salicylic acid unclogs pores without drying the skin or stripping it of its natural protective oils. Other active ingredients include Niacinamide, L-Mandelic acid, Chlorhexidine Gluconate and Tea Tree Oil.

The unique mix of these ingredients regulate the activity of the sebaceous glands. As well as unclogging pores, salicylic acid helps to shed dead skin cells, decrease rednessa nd inflammation and refines the skins texture and complexion.

L-mandelic acid is a unique lipid-soluble alpha hydroxy acid allowing pore-deep cleansing together with Glycolic acid style exfoliation but without the stinging. Chlorhexidine Gluconate (included as a preservative) and Tea Tree oil are well known for their numerous antibacterial, antiseptic, antifungal and anti-microbial effects.

Niacinamide provides potent anti-inflammatory activity without the risk of inducing bacterial resistance.

• By removing the most superficial skin layer, Salicylic acid allows the other active ingredients to penetrate
• Niacinamide (vitamin B3 complex) has anti-inflammatory properties and helps regulates the production of sebum
• Both salicylic acid and nicotinic acid have a keratin-dissolving property to help alleviate sebum blocking the pores
• L-Mandelic acid is a potent exfoliator but unlike Glycolic acid, does not irritate, cause erythema or burning
• L-Mandelic acid also demonstrates antiseptic activity, making it suitable for hypersensitive acne-prone skin types
