It has also been tested on sensitive skin under dermatologist supervision as part of clinical RIPT to ensure compatibility with all skin types.

Yes, this cleanser can be used with retinol. However, given the exfoliating properties of both actives (salicylic acid and retinol), it is always recommended to start slow and increase frequency once you establish consistent skin tolerance. To start, limit use to once or twice a week, gradually increasing frequency to every other night, then every night as tolerated.

When using chemical exfoliants such as salicylic acid or retinol, don’t forget to apply sunscreen during the daytime.

Clinically tested

Our products are developed using multiple rounds of clinical testing, including instrumentation studies and in-house consumer perception trials, which are:

• Representative, balanced across ages, skin types, skin concerns and level of concern
• Statistically significant, with carefully designed sample sizes to maximize validity of the outcomes
• Randomized, blind & competitor controlled, to mitigate any bias

Dermatologist tested

Our products are tested under the supervision of a dermatologist, using RIPT - a form of safety testing where a dermatologist observes, records, and evaluates the product’s safety in use, confirming it has low irritation potential or allergenicity.

Batch testing

We do extensive no-skip-lot testing (including key ingredient assay and microbiological analysis) at each step of the manufacturing process as well as on the final product, ensuring rigorous quality assurance and quality control standards to guarantee consistency across production batches.
