How Curatory Credit works

Why I chose it

Harsh cleansing can make blemish-prone skin harder to manage. I chose this as a more active cleanser for oilier or congested skin, while keeping a plain cleanser as the better option for sensitive or reactive skin.

How to introduce it

Apply one pump to wet skin, massage gently over the face and neck, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Start once daily, usually in the evening. Morning and evening use may suit consistently oily, tolerant skin, but reduce frequency or alternate with a plain cleanser if the skin begins to feel tight.

If you wear heavy make-up or water-resistant sunscreen, remove that first rather than repeating an active cleanse aggressively.

The ingredients that make this special

A closer look at the ingredients doing the most meaningful work in this formula—and what the evidence can reasonably tell us.

Salicylic acid

An oil-soluble BHA that exfoliates inside the pore and can help with blackheads and congestion.

Read the clinical context

Salicylic acid is an oil-soluble BHA that helps loosen the mix of dead skin cells and oil that can collect inside pores. Over time it can help to reduce blackheads, congestion and oily shine. How strong it feels will depend on the concentration, the rest of the formulation and whether the product is rinsed off or left on.

Lactic Acid

A gently exfoliating AHA that also acts as a hydrator.

Read the clinical context

Lactic Acid isn’t just another alphahydroxy acid (AHA). Although it does also help to gently exfoliate dead skin cells away, it’s also a moisturising ingredient. Depending on the pH and concentration it can improve how well the skin holds onto water and keep the top layers of the skin soft and hydrated.

Chlorhexidine

An antimicrobial ingredient used within this cleanser.

Read the clinical context

Chlorhexidine is an antimicrobial ingredient included here at a lower concentration than in harsher antiseptic cleansers. It helps reduce bacteria on the skin that may contribute to blemishes.

It works alongside the acids in this cleanser and shouldn’t be viewed as an acne treatment on its own.

Lactobacillus Ferment

A fermentation-derived ingredient that supports hydration and skin conditioning.

Read the clinical context

Lactobacillus ferment is made through fermentation and is included to support skin hydration and conditioning. Although ingredients like this are often linked with the skin microbiome, I would view it as a useful supporting ingredient rather than the main reason to choose the product.
