Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
Betaine salicylate is on the list, low down, in a product you rinse off within seconds - so treat it as a formulation detail rather than an exfoliating step. Tea tree oil is on the list too, and higher, which is the one to check if essential oils are your problem. The pH is the reason to buy it; the price is the reason you keep buying it.

Listed in INCI, the standard naming used on every cosmetic sold in the EU. It is the same in every language.
The pack is the authoritative list. Brands reformulate without announcing it, and the batch you receive may not match this page - so if you react to something, check the pack itself before you use it.
We could only find the list this brand publishes for another market. The European pack may differ, and we have not been able to confirm either way.

This arrives sealed. If you break the seal we cannot take it back, for hygiene reasons. Unopened, you have 14 days to change your mind, and opening the parcel does not count - only the seal on the product itself.
Some early reviews are from testers who received this product free. They're marked, and we didn't edit them.
