HERBIVORE Aquarius BHA + Blue Tansy Clarifying Cleanser, 100 mL — Gel-to-Foam Oil-Control & Soothing

HERBIVORE Aquarius is a gel-to-foam facial cleanser with willow bark BHA and blue tansy designed to deeply cleanse pores and help balance oily to combination skin.

This clarifying face wash pairs a gentle BHA exfoliant with blue tansy and Zinc PCA to remove surface oil, lift debris from pores, and calm visible irritation without stripping the skin. The formula transforms from a silky gel into a light foam for a thorough clean that’s meant to be compatible with acne-prone and oilier complexions. Packaged in a 100 mL (3.3 oz) bottle, it’s vegan, cruelty-free, and built around plant-derived actives.

How does this cleanser help control excess oil and shine?

The cleanser contains willow bark-derived BHA that penetrates into pores to dislodge trapped sebum and dead skin cells, while Zinc PCA helps regulate surface oil. Together these ingredients reduce the immediate greasy feel and help skin look less congested over time when used consistently.

• Willow bark BHA gently exfoliates inside pores.
• Zinc PCA supports oil regulation and a matte finish.
• Gel-to-foam texture provides efficient removal of surface oil.

Will this product help calm irritation and redness?

Blue tansy, known for its azulene content, is included to soothe skin and reduce visual irritation sensations after cleansing. The formulation aims to combine clarifying action with calming botanicals so the face doesn’t feel tight or over-dried post-wash.

• Blue tansy oil brings soothing, cooling properties.
• Balanced pH and non-stripping foam preserve moisture feel.
• Vegan, plant-forward base avoids harsh surfactants that can aggravate sensitivity.

How should I use the HERBIVORE Aquarius cleanser in my routine?

Use morning and/or evening as the first step in your skincare routine. Pump one to two pumps into wet palms, add water to create a light lather, massage over a wet face for 30–60 seconds, then rinse and pat dry. Follow with toner or serum as needed.

• Pump 1–2 times into wet hands, add water, and lather.
• Massage gently for 30–60 seconds; rinse thoroughly.
• Pair with targeted treatments—apply sunscreen in the morning.

Is this cleanser suitable for acne-prone or combination skin?

Formulated specifically for oily and blemish-prone skin types, the product’s BHA content helps address pore congestion often linked to breakouts. Because it balances clarifying actives with calming botanicals and Zinc PCA, it’s intended for combination skin that needs oil control without excessive dryness.

• Targeted for oily, combination, and blemish-prone skin profiles.
• Helps reduce pore congestion without harsh exfoliation.
• Plant-based, cruelty-free formulation suitable for regular use.

Who is this for? HERBIVORE Aquarius BHA + Blue Tansy Clarity Cleanser is for anyone with oily or combination skin seeking a plant-powered gel cleanser that removes oil, clears pores, and calms visible irritation. It’s a practical choice if you want a daily use exfoliating wash that balances clarifying ingredients with botanical soothing agents, and prefer vegan, cruelty-free options packaged responsibly. Avoid if you have very dry or highly sensitized skin without consulting how a BHA cleanser fits your routine.
