Clean It Zero Pore Clarifying Cleansing Balm

Alongside the melting balm base, this version adds three exfoliants that work at different depths — salicylic acid (a BHA), capryloyl salicylic acid (an LHA), and gluconolactone (a PHA) — plus tea tree leaf oil, long used to calm blemish-prone skin. Jojoba oil and a synthetic wax give it the same scoopable, quick-melting sherbet texture as the rest of the Clean It Zero line, and it emulsifies with water to rinse off cleanly. Take a small scoop with the dry spatula, massage over dry skin to dissolve makeup and SPF, then wet and rinse, following with a foaming or gel cleanser. The acids are at rinse-off cleanser levels, so treat this as gentle pore upkeep rather than a real exfoliating treatment. It contains added fragrance, so patch test first if your skin is easily irritated, and keep it out of the eyes.
