Care:Nel Cicavita B5 Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser 150ml

Care:Nel Dr. Skin Cicavita B5 Salicylic Acid Gentle Cleanser is a Korean dermatologist-tested foaming cleanser engineered to tackle the full spectrum of acne-prone and troubled skin concerns — from clogged pores & excess sebum to blemishes, dark spots & sensitivity — all within a single gentle, non-stripping wash. Built on a skin-friendly amino acid surfactant base (Sodium Cocoyl Alaninate), this cleanser produces a soft, creamy foam that effectively deep-cleans without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture barrier or causing the tightness and dryness commonly associated with conventional acne cleansers. Its 5-action formula simultaneously exfoliates, clarifies pores, soothes, brightens & strengthens the skin barrier — making it an ideal daily-use cleanser for anyone dealing with chronic breakouts, congestion or post-acne marks. Paraben-free, sulfate-free & hypoallergenic.

Best used as Step 1 of your morning and evening skincare routines. Wet the face thoroughly with lukewarm water, then take a sufficient amount of the cleanser and work into a rich lather on damp palms. Massage gently onto the face in circular motions for 30–60 seconds, paying particular attention to areas prone to congestion such as the nose, chin & forehead T-zone. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water and pat dry with a clean soft towel. Follow immediately with a toner, treatment serum & moisturizer to lock in hydration on freshly cleansed, exfoliation-prepped skin. Suitable for daily use both morning & evening.

Salicylic Acid (BHA, 0.1%) is the cornerstone active of this formula — a lipid-soluble beta-hydroxy acid that uniquely penetrates deep inside oil-filled pores to dissolve sebum plugs, clear blackheads & whiteheads, and prevent future breakouts by keeping the pore lining clear of dead skin cell debris. Its low concentration of 0.1% makes it stable, hypoallergenic & non-irritating enough for daily use even on sensitive and barrier-compromised skin. Gluconolactone (PHA) complements the BHA exfoliation with a gentler, surface-level approach — lifting away dull, pigmented dead skin cells to refine skin texture & improve overall tone, while simultaneously acting as a humectant to attract & retain moisture during the cleansing process. Tranexamic Acid addresses existing post-acne marks & dark spots by inhibiting melanin synthesis pathways, progressively brightening blemish scars & evening out the skin tone for a clearer complexion over consistent use. Centella Asiatica Extract (1%) & Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract (0.1%) form a potent Cica-Tea Tree soothing duo that calms redness, reduces inflammation from acne lesions & quickly soothes skin sensitized by pollution, stress & mask-wearing. Panthenol (Vitamin B5, 0.1%) penetrates deeply into the skin to supply moisture & nutrients that actively strengthen the skin barrier — helping damaged, post-blemish skin become more resilient over time.
