Naturopathica Colloidal Silver Acne Clearing Cleanser — 2% Salicylic Acid, 5 fl oz gel for unclogging pores & reducing breakouts

Naturopathica's Colloidal Silver and 2% Salicylic Acid Acne Clearing Cleanser is a targeted face wash formulated to reduce active breakouts, unclog pores, and help fade post-acne marks.

This clarifying gel combines a dermatologist-favored concentration of salicylic acid with colloidal silver and botanical extracts to support clearer-looking skin. The lightweight formula works as a daily cleanser and gentle exfoliant that aims to lift excess oil, dissolve debris in pores, and leave the complexion feeling refreshed without heavy stripping. Designed for both men and women, it comes in a 5 fl oz pump bottle for convenient, controlled dispensing.

How does this cleanser help with active breakouts and blackheads?

The 2% salicylic acid penetrates oily pores to loosen sebum and dead skin cells, helping to reduce the visible appearance of blemishes and blackheads. Colloidal silver and cranberry extract provide complementary cleansing and soothing benefits, creating a balanced approach to breakouts.

• Contains clinically common 2% salicylic acid for pore exfoliation and oil control
• Colloidal silver supports a clarified, refreshed surface feel
• Cranberry helps maintain skin equilibrium and tone
• Gel texture rinses clean without heavy residue

Is it safe to use daily and how do I incorporate it into my routine?

You can use this cleanser once or twice daily based on your skin’s tolerance; start with once daily if you have sensitive or dry skin. Apply to damp skin, lather briefly for about a minute, rinse thoroughly, then follow with a serum and moisturizer to restore hydration.

• Use 1–2 pumps on wet face, massage for ~60 seconds
• Rinse with lukewarm water and gently pat dry
• Follow with hydrating serum and SPF in the morning
• Reduce frequency if you notice dryness or irritation

Will this help reduce acne scars and uneven texture?

Regular use can improve surface texture by promoting gentle exfoliation and clearer pores, which may make discoloration and roughness less pronounced over time. It’s best paired with targeted serums or treatments for scar fading and consistent sun protection to prevent darkening of marks.

• Exfoliates dead skin to reveal fresher surface cells
• Supports smoother-looking skin when used consistently
• Combines botanical agents that help maintain skin balance
• Works well alongside topical brighteners and sunscreen

What skin types and concerns is this product suited for?

This formula is tailored for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin seeking a stronger over-the-counter exfoliant. It is also suitable for anyone looking to manage intermittent breakouts, congestion, or post-acne texture, though those with very dry or sensitized skin should introduce it gradually.

• Ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone complexions
• Helpful for people with recurring blemishes or clogged pores
• Use cautiously if you have reactive or very dry skin
• Formulated for everyday cleansing with targeted exfoliation
