Partial credit means the part only partly matches that standout.

• AGlycolic, lactic and malic acids26 of 35 pts

  Low-level alpha hydroxy acids loosen dead cells for smoother, brighter skin during a wash.

• CFoaming surfactant base8 of 15 pts

  A rich-foaming base gives the wash its lather and cleaning power.

• DFluorinated ether oxygen-bubble system0 of 10 pts

  The perfluoro ethers create the oxygen-like bubbling feel; they add sensation rather than a proven skin result.

  No close retail equivalent: we credit at most 25% of these points.

• EBisabolol, jojoba esters and vitamin E4 of 15 pts

  These soften the acid and surfactant load so the wash stays comfortable.

63 / 100. We have not found a shelf product that closes more of the gap yet.

93 is our ceiling. No retail cleanser uses this fluorinated ether system, so this part cannot be matched.

How to use

1. Use PM, 3-4 nights a week, then moisturizer.
2. Add The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner: Adds the glycolic acid that the SA cleanser lacks; a leave-on toner, so use on alternate nights.
3. Add Minimalist Salicylic Acid + LHA 2% Face Cleanser: Wash-off cleanser with a published 2% BHA+LHA total, a betaine/isethionate surfactant base and zinc PCA, at a fraction of the price.
