1 / 7Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser
The r/SkincareAddiction-era classic that never left: a pH-balanced gel cleanser with a whisper of gentle BHA and tea tree. It cleans thoroughly without the tight, squeaky feeling that wrecks moisture barriers — which is exactly why it became a default first cleanser.
More detail
The low-foam gel uses mild surfactants at a skin-friendly low pH, with betaine salicylate (a gentle BHA) and tea tree leaf oil plus allantoin and botanical extracts. The BHA here is a mildness feature, not a treatment — it's far too dilute to replace a real exfoliant, so don't count it as your acid step. Use it as your morning cleanse or as the second step of an evening double cleanse; it rinses clean without residue or tightness. The scent is a natural herbal tea-tree note rather than added perfume. Tea tree oil bothers a small minority of skins, so patch test if you're reactive to essential oils.

Cheap, gentle, works. My skin stopped feeling tight after switching.
