Exfoliating cleansers usually go too hard — a few minutes of contact at high strength, then a face that feels tight for the rest of the day. This one runs low and daily instead: enough salicylic acid to get into oil-clogged pores, enough glycolic to keep the surface clear, and enough ceramide in the base that your barrier is intact at the end of it. The squeaky-clean feeling is damage, not cleanliness.
Full ingredient rationale for each active is on its own page. If a percentage isn't stated on a product you're considering — ours or anyone's — that's worth asking about.
Evenings. Move to twice daily only if your skin is genuinely comfortable at once.
Massage properly — a five-second wash does nothing. Hot water is the enemy of a barrier.

Yes, on alternate evenings to begin with. Both contain glycolic acid, and stacking them nightly from day one is more exfoliation than most skin wants.
It shouldn't. If it does, you're using it too often — drop to every other night and let the barrier catch up.
For mild congestion and blackheads, often yes. For persistent inflammatory acne, a cleanser is a supporting player — see a dermatologist for the lead role.

Stripping oily skin makes it oilier. The route out of congestion runs through a barrier that's intact, not scrubbed.
