"This cleanser does it all — it clears out pores, removes buildup, and gently exfoliates without stripping your skin. The mandelic acid makes it extra special: it’s effective but super gentle, which is rare. Perfect for sensitive or breakout-prone skin! One of my best sellers!"

Gentle Enough for Daily Use

This cleanser is safe for all skin types and tones, even those with moderate acne or mild sensitivity. Whether you’re managing oiliness, dullness, or uneven texture, Idyllic Cleanser helps reset your skin without over-drying or irritating your barrier.

Sodium Olefin

A key cleansing agent (surfactant) that effectively removes dirt, oil, and impurities.

Glycerin

Draws water from the environment and deeper skin layers to help maintain hydration and barrier function.

Mandelic Acid

Larger molecular size AHA than glycolic or lactic acid, which allows for slower absorption and makes it ideal for sensitive and acne-prone skin.

Mandelic Acid: Multi-Tasking Hero

Mandelic Acid, an AHA derived from bitter almonds, delivers gentle exfoliation and antibacterial benefits. It’s well-tolerated even by darker skin tones and sensitive types, helping reduce breakouts and brighten dark spots while refining texture over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What skin concerns does Idyllic Cleanser address?

It targets acne, clogged pores, uneven texture, and dullness. The 3% Mandelic Acid exfoliates gently while fighting bacteria, making it a great option for both acne care and age management.

Is it safe for all skin tones and types?

Yes. Mandelic Acid has a larger molecular size than other AHAs, which makes it slower to penetrate and less likely to irritate. It’s safe for Fitzpatrick I–VI and ideal for sensitive, oily, or combination skin.

Can I use this cleanser daily?

Absolutely. It’s designed to be gentle enough for once-daily use, even as it exfoliates. If your skin is reactive or you're starting new actives, begin with every other day and increase as tolerated.

How does it compare to a salicylic or glycolic acid cleanser?

Mandelic Acid is gentler than glycolic and less drying than salicylic. It’s a great in-between option—offering exfoliation and antibacterial action with a lower risk of irritation or post-inflammatory pigmentation.

Should I stop using it if I’m using other exfoliating products?

You don’t have to, but it’s best to space out other exfoliants like toners or serums to avoid over-exfoliation. Use Idyllic Cleanser as your main active in the morning or evening, and adjust as needed based on your full routine.
