Skinbetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser

Skinbetter Science Refining Foam Cleanser is an exfoliating facial cleanser for normal to oily skin. Its soft, velvety foam brings together glycolic, lactic and malic acids with salicylic acid, so cleansing and gentle exfoliation happen in one step.

The acids help loosen dull surface buildup and lift away excess oil, while an amino acid-based cleansing complex creates a cushiony lather. Glycerin, beta-glucan and bisabolol keep the skin feeling soft and comfortable after rinsing.

With regular use, shine looks more balanced, pores look less congested and the complexion appears brighter and more even in texture. Formulated without parabens, fragrance or dyes, and free of soap and sulfates.

Why we love it

Oily, congested-looking skin often needs exfoliation, yet harsh cleansers can leave it tight and reactive. This foam answers both needs with a soft lather and a balanced blend of AHAs and salicylic acid. It rinses clean and never feels stripping. We like it for anyone who wants a fresher, more refined-looking complexion from the very first step of their routine.

Benefits

  • Lifts away excess surface oil and impurities
  • Gently exfoliates dull surface buildup
  • Helps pores look clearer and less congested
  • Visibly refines uneven texture
  • Leaves skin looking brighter
  • Rinses clean and leaves skin feeling soft

Best for

Normal, combination or oily skin

Let the foam sit on the T-zone for a slow count of ten before rinsing, so the acids have a moment to work where shine and congestion gather most.

How to use

  1. Morning and/or evening, as the skin tolerates.
  2. Dampen the face and neck.
  3. Apply a generous amount and massage gently with your fingertips.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with warm water and pat dry.
  5. Wear a daily sunscreen, since this cleanser contains alpha hydroxy acids.
  6. Avoid contact with eyes.

Precautions

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes; if contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a physician.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is it an exfoliating cleanser?

Yes. It combines cleansing with gentle chemical exfoliation from three alpha hydroxy acids and salicylic acid.

Can I use it every day?

Skinbetter Science suggests morning and evening use. If your routine already includes retinoids or acid serums, start with once a day and adjust to your skin's comfort.

Is it suitable for dry or sensitive skin?

It is designed for normal to oily skin. Dry or reactive skin is usually happier with a gentle, acid-free cleanser such as Skinbetter Science Cleansing Gel.

Does it remove makeup?

It helps remove face makeup and excess oil. Use a dedicated eye makeup remover around the eyes.

Do I need sunscreen?

Yes. Alpha hydroxy acids can increase sensitivity to the sun, so wear a daily sunscreen while using this cleanser and for a week after stopping.
