Zapzyt AB Acne Wash with Soothing Aloe & Chamomile (188.5g)

Wonderful acne wash, super gentle and no nonsense. Please note however that it is NOT a cleanser for your whole face or for daily use! You should have a dedicated gentle face cleanser and only use this on the areas you have acne/etc. Gentle enough to use on the body too. There's no need to leave it on your skin for more than a minute or two. Wash it completely off and make sure to apply moisturizer and MOST IMPORTANTLY if used in the morning: sunscreen! Your skin will thank you. Highly recommend, improves my acne and dark spots very well. 💙

I am lucky and have pretty clear and healthy skin. But I’m also hyper-critical and have never found something to rid my nose of black heads. I use a lot of oils for moisture and they tend to accumulate, adding to the appearance of my blackheads. So I watched a YouTube video and Dr. Gray (I think) recommended this for blackheads. I’ve used it for about two weeks. I have sensitive oily skin. I have been using once or twice daily depending how I feel. My blackheads are pretty much gone or extremely less visible. I also had two clogged pores- I forget what they call them. And the medicine in this product took care of those as well. Incredible product. It is drying to perhaps only use on your nose or T zone to start. But I tone and moisturize following and I’m not itchy and flaky like I have been before with other products.

So like many reviewers here I heard about this product through Dr. Gray on YouTube. I had been searching for a salicylic acid face wash for months, tried 3 with OK results. This one really worked! I’d like to preface, to the people commenting it dries out your skin/is too harsh - salicylic acid face washes don’t have to be used DAILY. It’s a CHEMICAL exfoliant, meaning you can use it 2-5 nights a week and it will get the job done while also giving your skin a break in between. Which is exactly what I’ve done. I have an oily t-zone and was breaking out continuously on my forehead, nose and chin. By using this every second night (I use regular Cetaphil in the am to give my skin a break and CeraVe PM as my am/pm moisturizer) my breakouts have reduced DRASTICALLY, not to mention my blackheads are almost all gone/reduced in size. Sorry for the long review, but I hope this helps someone try it out and see the great results I did!

Seul bémol, assèche un peu la peau car je l’utilisais 2 fois par jour trop pressé de voir des résultats. Commencer par 1 fois par jour.

I don’t normally write reviews on Amazon but this product warrants one bc it’s that good! It’s my HG salicylic acid cleanser now! Previously I was using Dermalogica Microfoliant ($60, contains enzymes and salicylic acid) but I experienced far better results from the Zapzyt cleanser than the Dermalogica Microfoliant! I’m sold! Save your money! My skin is clearer, less congested, not dry, not sensitized or red. This is a very gentle gel cleanser that washes off cleanly. I also tried La Roche Posey Deep Cleansing Cream with salicylic acid but it was drying and gave me that weird rubbery feeling afterwards. My skin tends to not like cream cleansers for this reason. The Zapzyt cleanser washes off cleanly and you can tell the difference. This was mentioned in a few of Dr. Dray’s videos and I’m so thankful for her informative videos! I’m so glad I gave this product a try because it works and my skin is completely happy now. Other salicylic acid cleansers I used that were too drying include: Alba Botanica Acnedote Deep Cleansing Face Wash, Neutrogena Acne Cleanser (all colors), Aveeno, Biore, Clean & Clear, and more.

I like this but in Canadian dollars the price is too high. I find there is a smell which is probably the aloe and it does burn a little when applied. You do not need much and it lathers quite well; however, there are cheaper brands available (unfortunately with fragrance) that do the same if not better.
