CeraniQ Clo Facewash
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 gentle and daily instead: BHA to get inside oil-clogged pores, AHA to keep the surface clear and texture smooth, and vitamin E so the barrier is intact at the end of it. It reduces acne and the dark spots acne leaves behind, which in Indian skin is the longer half of the problem.

Every active, at a dose that works.
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.
Simple, and done properly.
Once daily to start
Evenings. Move to twice daily only if your skin is genuinely comfortable at once.
Sixty seconds, lukewarm water
Massage properly: a five-second wash does nothing. Hot water is the enemy of a barrier.
Never with another acid on the same night
Cleanse, then treat, then moisturise. Stacking exfoliants is how people damage their skin.
The questions we actually get.
Can I use this and Melaphix?
Yes, on alternate evenings to begin with. Both work on surface turnover, and stacking them nightly from day one is more exfoliation than most skin wants.
Will it dry me out?
It shouldn't. If it does, you're using it too often, drop to every other night and let the barrier catch up.
Is it enough on its own for acne?
For mild congestion and blackheads, often yes. For persistent inflammatory acne, a cleanser is a supporting player. See a dermatologist for the lead role.

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