Transform your evening routine with our targeted breakout-fighting double cleanse duo. This powerful pair delivers a deeper, more effective cleanse than single cleansers alone, specifically designed for blemish-prone and oily skin.


Step 1: Oat Cleansing Balm - Your first cleanse powerhouse. This award-winning, rich balm cleanser effortlessly melts away all makeup (including waterproof formulas), SPF, and daily buildup. The gentle oat formula deeply cleanses without compromising your skin's natural barrier, leaving skin soft and prepared for step two.


Step 2: Salicylic Acid Cleanser - Your targeted treatment cleanser. This oil-reducing, breakout-busting cleanser delivers visible results for clearer-looking skin. The 2% salicylic acid formula helps unclog pores, gently exfoliates, and visibly reduces blackheads and breakouts while being gentle enough for daily use.


Why Double Cleanse for Breakouts? This proven skincare method ensures complete removal of pore-clogging impurities that single cleansers often leave behind. The oil-based first cleanse dissolves makeup and SPF, while the water-based second cleanse targets breakout-causing bacteria and excess oil for truly clean, balanced skin.


Perfect for: Oily skin, combination skin, blackhead-prone areas, makeup wearers, SPF users

Suitable for:

  • Oily Skin
  • Combination Skin
  • Normal Skin
  • Teenagers

Targets:

  • Breakouts & Blemishes
  • Excess Oil
  • Blackheads

What is Double Cleansing for Breakout-Prone Skin?

Double cleansing for breakouts is a targeted two-step method that ensures complete removal of pore-clogging impurities while treating existing blemishes. This approach is especially crucial for breakout-prone skin, which needs thorough cleansing without over-stripping.

Why Double Cleanse for Breakouts?

Step 1 (Oil-based): Oat Cleansing Balm dissolves makeup, SPF, excess sebum, and oil-based pollutants that can clog pores. The gentle oat extract soothes inflammation while the balm texture melts on contact for easy removal of stubborn impurities.

Step 2 (Treatment-based): Salicylic Acid Cleanser removes sweat, bacteria, and remaining residue while providing targeted breakout treatment. The 2% salicylic acid penetrates pores to clear blackheads and prevent new breakouts from forming.

Perfect Double Cleanse Technique for Breakouts
- Start completely dry: Apply Oat Cleansing Balm to dry skin
- Massage thoroughly: Work in circular motions for 60+ seconds
- Emulsify gradually: Add small amounts of water to turn the balm milky white
- Rinse completely: Remove all traces with lukewarm water
- Follow with treatment: Apply Salicylic Acid Cleanser to damp skin
- Target problem areas: Spend extra time massaging breakout-prone zones (T-zone, chin)
- Final rinse and assess: Your skin should feel clean but not tight or stripped

When to Double Cleanse for Breakouts
- Evening routine: Essential after wearing makeup or SPF
- Post-workout: Great for removing sweat and sebum buildup
- After long days: Perfect for city pollution and daily impurities
- Breakout prevention: Consistent nightly use prevents pore-clogging buildup

The Science Behind Breakout Prevention This method removes up to 3x more impurities than single cleansing, crucial for preventing the bacterial buildup that leads to breakouts. The gentle first cleanse prevents over-scrubbing, while the targeted second cleanse treats and prevents blemishes without disrupting your skin barrier.

    Not for me

    I bought these to use the double cleansing method. I used the oat one first, then the salicylic acid one. I didn't see any reduction in breakouts with using them, and my skin felt more oily the next day, but also with dry red patches as well. I now use a different cleanser, and the oat balm has been relegated to an eye make up remover, which it does well. I don't think I'll be able to repurpose the salicylic acid cleanser. As a tip, I would put the oat balm on the radiator for a few minutes. My house is cold, and it was too hard to squeeze out otherwise. Similar products to this are in a tub, but that makes them less hygienic. Other people have commented that the packaging isn't great, but I don't know how to improve it, other than maybe an airless pump. I would recommend to people who don't have crazy oily skin like me. Won't be repurchasing the salicylic acid. Might buy the oat one for my eye make up, if I can decant it into something else.

    Game changer!

    The oat cleansing balm is an absolute game changer: yes the texture may feel weird at first but it definitely leaves your skin clean off make up and soft!
