Salicylic Purifying Cleanser (AHA/BHA)

Some cleansers leave oily skin feeling stripped and tight. Others are so gentle they never really clean the skin properly.

Our Salicylic Purifying Cleanser was designed to sit in the middle — properly cleansing the skin while helping to reduce congestion, excess oil, and build-up without leaving the skin feeling overly dry.

The formula combines Salicylic Acid (BHA) and Glycolic Acid (AHA) to help loosen dead skin cells, clear surface buildup, and support a clearer-looking complexion. Because the acids are washed off rather than left sitting on the skin, the cleanser gives a deep-clean feeling without the intensity of stronger leave-on treatments.

We particularly like this cleanser for oily skin, congested skin, teenage skin, and clients who feel like their skin never quite feels clean.

Chamomile Extract helps soften the formula, while Kakadu Plum and Quandong provide antioxidant support.

The texture foams well, removes excess oil effectively, and leaves the skin feeling fresh rather than coated.

Suitable for

  • Oily skin
  • Congested skin
  • Combination skin
  • Teenage skin
  • Breakout-prone skin

Good to know

This is an active cleanser and may not be suitable for very dry, highly sensitive, or barrier-impaired skin types.

Not recommended during pregnancy due to the Salicylic Acid content.

Key ingredients

Salicylic Acid (BHA) – helps clear congestion and excess oil from the pores.

Glycolic Acid (AHA) – helps remove surface buildup and improve skin texture.

Chamomile Extract – helps calm and condition the skin.

Kakadu Plum Extract – antioxidant-rich Australian botanical extract.

Quandong Extract – supports skin conditioning and antioxidant protection.

How to use

Massage onto damp skin morning or evening, then rinse thoroughly.

If you are new to active cleansers or have sensitive skin, begin using once daily and increase gradually if tolerated.

Pro tip

If your skin feels oily but also dehydrated, avoid over-cleansing. Pair with a hydrating serum and moisturiser rather than trying to “dry out” the skin.

Karen P. (5/5)

Amazing

"I’m a 40 year old woman who always struggled with oily sling finding suitable make up and skin care . Once I walked into one ISSADA store in Brisbane and the lady who was attending helped me choose make up and did teach me how to use it. I will never go back to another make up brand! Is just absolutely amazing!"

Jenny Q. (5/5)

Salicylic cleanser - love it!

"I absolutely love the salicylic purifying cleanser. It gives a great clean but does not overdry out the skin. I am also on Roaccutane for acne treatment which means that a lot of products can be too harsh. This one fits the bill amazingly. My teenage daughter is also using it and loves it. She gets a bit of acne but a lot of other cleansers dry her skin out as well but this is great on her skin too. What I love is that you only need a small amount and it lasts a long time as well. I highly recommend this product."

Penny H. (5/5)
